Back in the early 1900s, Italian immigrants brought their culinary traditions to Chicago—and from their kitchens came a masterpiece now beloved across the city: the Italian Beef Sandwich. 🇮🇹🥖 Whether you prefer it dipped, dry, or loaded with hot and sweet peppers, it all starts with tender, slow-cooked beef piled high on fresh bread. 🤤
Now it’s time to honor this local legend at the inaugural Chicago Italian Beef Fest! 🎉 Taking over Jefferson Memorial Park, this mouthwatering celebration will feature some of Chicagoland’s favorite restaurants serving up their unique takes on the iconic sandwich.
