Does Calvin Klein know about that family of three?
Ooh, absolutely phenomenon! The problem is long line, waiting too long.
Tom, want some!
1:08 First time seeing someone behind the diner counter wearing a sleeveless shirt.
Wow didn’t realize he was the owner!
Karate kid workin the counter? 😂😂😂
I lived in Chicago for a few years and my go-to favorites were Italian Beef and bar pie pizza. Deep dish is for tourists
Mr Beef Does have the best Italian beef in the city IMO. It’s like they put delicious crack cocaine in it that gets you hooked
Looks like something for the wigs and migrants
Polish Hot Dogs! 🌭
Dangerous to go out in the city
"Bear Stearns" ( Solomon Smith Barney ; Morgan Stanlley Dean Weatter , Meryll Lynch , Goldman Sachs ) . 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Work by this place always lines of people.s in LINES.
NEVER SEE BLACK OR BROWN PEOPLES IN LINES
Man, Italian Beef (wet style) and thin dish pizzas are the real heat in Chicago. Giordano’s is great (deep dish favorite) but Portillos NEVER got skipped when I visited. Their Italian Beef and atmosphere is magical.
Kaiser’s has my favorite thin pizza, closely followed by The Quonset in Waukegan.
The locals know, ask for help! 👍🏻
I will stick with a Philly cheese steak
Created for poor people now it’s like 10$ for a 5 inch at als
I love the flavor of the au jus but don't like the sogginess. I order mine dry with the au jus on the side. I used to dip it in the au jus, but it was too messy and soggy. I now take a bite and then sip the au jus from the cup. Don't judge me…
THE BEST IN THE CITY….HANDS DOWN!!!
What about all of the violence in Chicago?
I only know about this place because one of the customers and an alleged surgeon decided to start a fight with one of my favorite YouTubers UA Eats.
My first Italian Beef was at Portillo's during a college road trip. I never looked back.
Did you pay for that sandwich ?👈🏿💵
Mmmmm. Sweat on my food.
It's Beef curtains for you ese … 😂😂
"Let it rip"
Rib Tips and Hot Links is the new BBQ!
Dei cast for the show
I still love the Chicago dogs. I think the bear does a disservice to Chicago culinary skills and cuisine
Love Mr Beef , it was near my moms house
Ah yes Chicago, a city full of people doing most foods wrong
Yeah this is way more interesting than the Epstein story you’ve all spent the past 10+ years ignoring.
Donald Trump thanks you for your service.
Now give him $15million like ABC and CBS.
The bread the experience – lol
