I went out to Chicago in the winter thanks to Phans of Philly for the Eagles/Bears game. I couldn’t go out there without eating some Italian beefs. Especially after The Bear became one of my favorite TV shows of the year. We even hit up the spot that inspired the show. Obviously, when people think of Chicago they think of the deep dish or hot dogs, but the real ones know it’s actually the Italian beefs you need to get. As a guy from Philly, any sandwich with shaved beef on it is a sandwich for me:

If you’re heading to Chicago this summer I hope this gave you an idea on where you should go. Even if you aren’t staying around any of those places I went to. The great thing about Chicago is that it’s a lot like Philly and you can find a good cheesesteak anywhere. Make sure you get it baptized. The French bread is stronger than the entire Bears offensive line last year.

Also check out The Bear. This isn’t even an ad. Season 1 was amazing! I had to take a Xanax after watching that 20 minute single shot episode:
