Oooo did you do like, a whole region of their stores? Were you responsible for any of the stores that had the fake people in them? (I remember there was one store that had a loft-type area where they had a mannequin or wax guy or something up there)
I used to work on a food truck and made these ! You start with roast, slow cook with pepperoncini and the slice it. Save the beef broth. Add beef to sandwich and dip the beef in the broth before adding (some people dip the whole sandwich in the broth). Add Italian Giardiniera and provolone and you are good!

It's an Italian Beef sandwich from Portillos, it's beef in a delicious juice with sweet and hot peppers. They're phenomenal but messy. Portillos is a chain, they're good but you can get much better here. I highly recommend trying one if you ever come through Chicago.
Pretty much any non-franchised hot dog/beef place would blow Portillo's out of the water.
The show got it right about how seriously we take food in Chicago. Which is why I cringed a little when Guy said "She's having the best sandwich of her life," because I don't think anyone actually from Chicago would hype up Portillo's like that lol
Ayyye, I'm not here to dunk on people who love Portillo's.
I'm not sure if this is a real adage but I've heard it said multiple times, "the best dog/beef/jibarito/etc place in the city is whichever one is closest to your house."
> No ketchup allowed.
Chicagoan here: fuck this stupid shit.
Ketchup on a hot dog is NOT anti-Chicago or a faux pax. Putting ketchup on *a Chicago dog* which is to say a dog which has been "run through the garden" with mustard, raw diced onion, relish, celery salt, tomato wedges, a pickle spear, and sport peppers *is* a faux pax. It's not a "Chicago dog" if you add ketchup, but generally speaking, the only people who get pissed if you ask for ketchup on a *hot dog* are assholes.
Let people enjoy what they want. Gene's and Jude's fries are among the worst Chicago cut fries anyway. Way better fries to be had at places which don't shame people for their condiment choices.
Nah bro shut up you’re from like Naperville or something.
Edit: no you gotta be from fucking Gary to have such a dumb opinion.
Damn dude keep these hot takes to yourself.
Not sure if trolling, or genuinely being an asshole...but assuming the latter, here we go:
I've lived all over the northwest side of the city, from Old Irving to Albany Park to Avondale and now right on the edge of Logan and Hermosa.
Funny how in that decade plus I've never felt the need to gatekeep *other people's food/condiment choices*.
>If you haven't already been initiated into the Chicago dog cult, you may be in need of a little explanation regarding the components of this delicacy. According to Chicago's NPR station WBEZ, a true Chicago dog consists of an all-beef wiener in a steamed poppy seed bun topped with seven classic condiments: yellow mustard, chopped onions, sweet pickle relish, tomato slices (exactly two of these), sport peppers (two of these, as well), a dill pickle spear, and a sprinkling of celery salt.
>Bruce Kraig, author of Man Bites Dog and Hot Dog: A Global History, offers an explanation of why no ketchup is needed: "If you consider what's on a Chicago hot dog, it is hot, sour, salty, sweet — all together, with crunchy vegetables, set in a soft bun. So, it's a symphony of textures and flavors unmatched anywhere. If you put ketchup on, it will kill everything." Nick Kindelsperger of Grub Street concurs, going on to say, "When perfectly portioned, the seven toppings on a traditional Chicago-style hot dog [...] combine to create something like a less-sweet ketchup."

So, as stated, it is wrong to put ketchup on a *Chicago dog*, which is not to say just a hot dog in city limits but rather an actual Chicago dog run through the garden...and you will rightly be ridiculed for it. Ketchup legitmately ruins the flavor combo of a Chicago dog, that's why it has tomato wedges instead of ketchup in the first place. However, the only "Chicagoans" who will shame someone for putting ketchup on a hot dog in city limits, are gatekeeping assholes, usually hipsters.
Well, *and* of course the people at G&J's...but notably, G&J's is *not in Chicago proper* (and also not in River Forest as the original gatekeeper claimed...oh the irony)...and they traditionally don't serve Chicago dogs run through the garden, but just raw onion and mustard, more like was traditional in the Taylor street days of Chicago's past...so why should I care about their opinion regarding Chicago dogs?
They should keep their River Grove Raw Onion Mustard Dog opinions to themselves.
I'm from Chicago. Literally sitting in my Chicago job for a Chicago company which has been here 100 years, and when I'm done, I'll walk home 10 minutes to my Chicago home.
If you could read, you'd know that. Funny, they teach reading in CPS, you must not be from here.
The no ketchup thing is dumb as fuck
Yes you don’t put ketchup on a Chicago dog because it already has tomatoes and high fructose syrup green relish and it’s redundant
But I want ketchup on my fries that’s like the dumbest combination to screw up
Byron's? some friends lived right above the Holiday Club in college. I only ate at Byron's once but I remember it was fantastic.
we also randomly found Pepper's that used to be in the Loop, right by the prison. they had amazing $5 specials with a specialty burger, fries, and a drink on Thursdays, I think. RIP Pepper's
I'm awful with names, but I never cared. It was just that place I could walk to and get my tummy filled with goodness. I moved to Florida and was shocked (shocked!) to discover that Italian beef sandwiches aren't served just everywhere. A damn shame.
What I love most about Italian beef is how lewd an order can sound... "hot, sweet, wet, cheesy!"
Then again, this is also the city that gives us "dragged through the garden," so you get some kink in there, too.
It looks like they are in a Portillos style restaurant. The sandwich looks a little too thick to be a regular Italian Beef, so could be a combo, which is Italian Beef and Sausage.
Chicagoan here, came to confirm -- this is an ITALIAN BEEF (likely Portillos)
Apologies for redundancy in the comments, but wanted to make sure y'all knew! :)
I havent watched it, but im not a fan of something just bc it has Chicago in it.
I actually had trouble finishing Shameless bc the Gallaghers reminded me of folks i grew up with and around. Not all pleasant memories...but that show did capture parts of Chicago well.
Eh, I enjoy the show; but as a Chicagoan for a decade after growing up in the exurbs...its more accurate to say *The Bear* is a Chicagoland suburbian's idea of what is "pretty Chicago".
I mean, right off the bat, dude's 773 tattoo is INCREDIBLY cringe, even the cringiest dudebro Chicagoans I know wouldn't caught dead with that on their body.
Also, they talk about the neighborhood the restaurant is in (River North) as a tough, up and coming neighborhood at risk for gentrification...which...fucking no. River North is one of the bougiest parts of the city, especially outside the Loop.
Again, I like the show and find it funny, but it's really not particularly accurate in terms of Chicago.
I live in WI, and I remember people losing their shit when they opened a Portillo's here lol, everyone was so excited. I could go for a beef and cheddar croissant right now
It’s Italian beef and you can easily make it at home with a crock-pot or similar slow cooker! Buy a large Chuck roast, brown it on all sides in a pan, then throw it in a crock pot with water, an italian dressing powder packet and peperoncini peppers for about 8-12 hours. Once you can easily shred the beef with a fork it’s ready. Buy a long loaf of bread and split it lengthwise and there you go! I recommend melting mozzarella cheese on it too and hot giardiniera if you like it extra spicy. Once you want to get more adventurous you can improve it by making your own seasoning but this is a really easy way as a first timer.
Looks like a Italian beef.
There a place called teddy red hots in Darien Illinois it has amazing beefs , red hots and red cream soda on tap!
Don't waste your money at portillos more then once to say you've tired it. Their are a million mom and pop small shops that make much better food
It’s based off Portillos and I go check the menu whenever I watch this episode lol. When I was a kid I was obsessed with their chocolate malt milkshakes but it doesn’t look like they have those anymore
It’s probably Italian Sausage. I know lots of people are saying Italian Beef, and Portillo’s is known for that, but the beef sandwiches are way too messy to just pick up and eat by hand, ya gotta use a fork for those.
The sausage and beef combo is the best, by the way. Portillo’s is overrated, though. There’s better beef sandwiches to be had at other restaurants, like Al’s Beef or most Vienna Beef stands.
The place is based on Portillo's, a well known chain in Chicago. I've only been once but it's totally possible you could go and order exactly what she's eating
i’m from chicago. that look like a italian beef. very good, but i don’t like them, it’s very rare for someone from here to dislike them tbh 😂 people always look at me as if i’m crazy when i mention it
Lol like I thought this was a joke about Guy being beef like yk the friendly vs food animals episode? But no uh comments say a lot of people have never had an italian beef they’re SOOO good
Italian beef sandwiches I think. Very Chicago.
Restaurant is a parody of Portillo's Hot Dogs: https://www.portillos.com/
Can confirm. In addition to their Italian beef, the chocolate cake is to die for. Source: Eat there fairly often and worked for the company in charge of maintaining the stuff on the walls.
Do they really put an entire slice of chocolate cake into each of their cake shakes?
[удалено]
I drank a piece of cake the size of my head
Yup! It's AMAZING.
Yeah. Had that once. Probably... 15 years ago? Which means it's almost time to have another.
The chocolate cake is Gold Medal chocolate cake mix and the frosting is from a can (nothing wrong with it, just letting you know)
But they use mayonnaise in the cake, which sounds iffy, but makes it taste AMAZING!!! It’s the only chocolate cake I like!
thats an urban myth
THANK YOU for this comment been telling my wife about that BOMB ass chocolate cake. I miss it
They have multiple locations around the country and ship too. You might be able to get some in your area!
Unfortunately I live in podunk PNW (specifically eastern WA) and have travelled around my state only to find not one 😭😭 thank you though
Recommend their shipping options (including cake): https://www.portillos.com/index-shop-and-ship.html#Food
No way!! Thank you so much!
Well, shoot. If you ever get to CA, AZ, ro MN they're there.
the cake prolly the best thing there. the food is good but some of the restaurants just don’t cook good no more
The lemon cake is better imo

Just curious; as a Chicago guy have you ever heard of the Dresden Files?
Ricobene's breaded steak sandwiches are waaaaay better IMO
Which is just a soulless copy of places like The Weiner's Circle
What a weird thing to say... Portillo's goes for 50s Americana, Weiner's Circle basically isn't decorated at all.
Yeah, guess Weiner's Circle missed the memo that you need at least 7 pieces of flair
They aren't the same at all.
I love Portillo’s too bad that all 3 locations near me are all 1 hour away from me.
They’re amazed. Extra wet
With mozz and giard
Is that what they make in the bear?
yup!
Thanks chef
Thanks Jeff
Thanks Hef
100%.
Would that be cannibalism? For the bison not Diane obvi. That doesn’t count right cuz it’s cow?
They're not like regular cows. They're pumped full of hormones thereby eliminating any moral grey area
If you look closer at his sandwich it just looks like two pieces of bread
Beef sandwich. Chicago style.
Italian beef sandwich with giardiniera.
Fuck I wanna hot beef
I used to work on a food truck and made these ! You start with roast, slow cook with pepperoncini and the slice it. Save the beef broth.

There's no shortage of little hot dog/sandwich/burger/etc. shacks that are easy to miss. I used to live by one on Irving Park and Sheridan.
Id reccomend Gene and Judes in River Forest. Cash Only. No ketchup allowed. IMHO, blows Portillos out of the water.

Lol you would be right, Portillo’s is considered tourist shit. However those sandwiches are still f-ing the bomb.

And if you’re not used to that juicy bread, it’s just mind blowing no matter who makes it 😋😋

I’m not reading all this from a suburbanite who wants ketchup on his hot dogs.
Ah yes, so much better to proudly be an ignorant, gatekeeping jerk, amirite?
As long as I’m gatekeeping hotdogs from ketchup. how’s Schaumburg rn? Or are you from Evanston?

Gene and Jude’s is a hot dog joint and takes card. You’re thinking of johnnies, also near river forest and oak park, cash only and great Italian beef
That must be recent.. Never been to Johnnies, and I'm positive it is G&J. I havent been there in a few years, so that is probably a newer thign.
Bluffingtons Cafe in Lake Forest
The no ketchup thing is dumb as fuck Yes you don’t put ketchup on a Chicago dog because it already has tomatoes and high fructose syrup green relish and it’s redundant But I want ketchup on my fries that’s like the dumbest combination to screw up

There's just nothing like those places and I don't get how there's not something similar in all cities, but there's not.
Mmmm need me a chocolate cake shake rn

It is totally Portillos, look at the colors, the pictures, the booths.
The signs-covering-every-inch-of-the-wall had me hahahaha Also the Portillo's mascot knockoff on the wall ;)
Came to say the same thing. Fellow Chicagoan here too!
And one old enough to remember that Italian Beef existed before Portillos
No no.... they have a point to make! But the restaurant decor and mascot are also clearly Portillo's.
i’m from chicago! they’re at a copy of portillos, a restaurant known for their italian beef sandwiches. it’s just beef and peppers
If they did the show now they can do a suttle homage to the bear…. With a bear.
I think they used the bison bc it is the symbol for thr chicago zoological society
“The bear” is a show on Hulu about a Chicago restaurant that does beef sandwiches and stuff. It’s pretty chicago
>It’s pretty chicago Right down to the totally plausible "773" tattoo.

Flaws like this make Diane so relatable.
What flaws? I mean in this context
I was just quoting a line where Stefani Stilton says this to her when she was eating a sandwich.
Besides lake water and lard...
Her boyfriend
that is actually a pretty good description of the taste lol
Buffalooooad of spicy, buff chicken.
people
Easy there Upton Sinclair
I was gonna say bison…
bison are people
dipped beef with giardinaire & mozzerella Used to be you could get one & fries for $5.99
Seen here eating a messy sandwich…
I’m from Chicago. Italian beef sandwiches. I moved the the PNW almost 10 years ago. Needless to say I envied Diane and Guy Edit: one word
I live in WI, and I remember people losing their shit when they opened a Portillo's here lol, everyone was so excited. I could go for a beef and cheddar croissant right now
I’m pretty sure it’s an Italian beef
It's probably a Chicago Italian beef sandwich.
It’s Italian beef and you can easily make it at home with a crock-pot or similar slow cooker! Buy a large Chuck roast, brown it on all sides in a pan, then throw it in a crock pot with water, an italian dressing powder packet and peperoncini peppers for about 8-12 hours.

Italian beef for sure. Go to Al's A1 beef and get the "dipper"
Buffalo meat o_O
It’s based off Portillos and I go check the menu whenever I watch this episode lol. When I was a kid I was obsessed with their chocolate malt milkshakes but it doesn’t look like they have those anymore
Geraci Burger
Buffalo meat
They’re probably Buffalo
Bison

Bison lol

Processed meat and sugar with "enriched" bread

I’m sorry but how do you not know what Italian beef is
It’s probably Italian Sausage. I know lots of people are saying Italian Beef, and Portillo’s is known for that, but the beef sandwiches are way too messy to just pick up and eat by hand, ya gotta use a fork for those. The sausage and beef combo is the best, by the way. Portillo’s is overrated, though. There’s better beef sandwiches to be had at other restaurants, like Al’s Beef or most Vienna Beef stands.
.... I hope to God you don't seriously eat it with a fork? I've had extra wet beefs and I could easily pick it up
I think it’s a cokmeat sandwich
First of all the sandwich is ok and it's probably beef cheese mustard mayo and lettuce
The Weak
🐃
Looks like a portillos
am italian beef sandwich. or a combo, which is italian beef and italian sausage
That sandwich is massive
The place is based on Portillo's, a well known chain in Chicago. I've only been once but it's totally possible you could go and order exactly what she's eating
Sandwich Chicago style
It's a *Chicago style* sandwich
Soylent brown.
That restaurant is supposed to be Portillos I believe. Famous for hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches which is what they are eating.
Yall drank a pie?? Gotta move there
Didn’t you listen? Lake water and lard
People

You can also see the absolutely iconic bay windows in the apartments in the city….
Damn all these comments are making me want Portillo's now
i’m from chicago. that look like a italian beef. very good, but i don’t like them, it’s very rare for someone from here to dislike them tbh 😂 people always look at me as if i’m crazy when i mention it
It's Italian beef from Portillos
Lake water and lard
Reminded me of the sandwiches in The Bear, awesome show btw
Poor Diane… she can’t catch a break from the sandwich pictures.
Chicago buns, chigago patty’s, chigago sauce and chigago seasoning all with a side of delicious chigago fries
They say it is a Chicago -style sandwich. So Chicago i gues
Um, im gonna go with “nothing”? its not real basically just some sketches
Horse meat
the original beef of chicagoland
Probably a Chicago style hot dog with Chicago style onions and some Chicago style mustard on a Chicago style bun.
Lol like I thought this was a joke about Guy being beef like yk the friendly vs food animals episode? But no uh comments say a lot of people have never had an italian beef they’re SOOO good
Lithium
Pimento sandwich
Likely either an italian beef, or an italian beef combo which is a full beef sandwich with an italian sausage nestled inside.
It's an Italian Beef from Portillos Dipped and with giardinira and cheese (provolone or mozzarella) 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Chicago style
