Ron L your making me homesick. Good looking beef sandwich there. The rest of the country doesn't know what a good Itlalian Beef from Chicago is. Aint no French Dip.
You've got that right Cast Iron! Nice job Ron L & Thank you DrBBQ!
I was born & raised in Cicero. Can't say I miss Cicero, but I love me some beefs. Everytime I go back home to visit, Brother NeoTrout and I go to Buona Beef...

They sell their gravy to go. I always bring some home. I have 2 containers in the freezer right now. I lived in Chicagoland for 31 years, and let me tell you that Buona's is as good or better than any other beef joint I have tried.
Here's my cheating mod...
Buy some thinly sliced (almost, but not quite shaved) roast beef from your favorite deli.
Go to Jimmy John's sandwich shop (if there's one near you) and buy their day old bread for .50 cents a loaf.
Heat up the Buona gravy and then add the beef. After a couple of minutes load the beef on your bread. Then dip the ends of the sammie into the gravy (Ron L mod). You will think your in Chicagoland!
Traditional Toppings:
Sweet Peppers
Giardiniera (hot pepper mix)

Red Sauce
Mozzarella Cheese (melted)
After writing this I will have 1 less container of gravy in my freezer.
Thaw mod for tomorrow! :lol:
