A Dependable Supplier of Chicago-Style Italian Beef
The Early Beginnings of Our Legendary Chicago Italian Beef Sandwiches
During the turn of the 20th Century, in the heart of burgeoning Chicago, many Italian immigrants prepared a dish known as “Italian beef”. It’s said that these sandwiches were started by Italian immigrants who worked for the old Union Stock Yards. They would often bring home some of the toughest cuts of beef, so to make the beef more appealing, they slow-roasted it to make it tender then simmered it in spices to add flavor. The meat was then thinly sliced and put into fresh Italian bread. Italian beef became very popular at weddings because it was an inexpensive yet delicious meal for the guests.
Chicago's Signature Sandwich
Like deep dish pizza, Italian beef is native to Chicago. In fact, Italian beef is widely considered to be Chicago’s signature sandwich. For decades now, our family has slow-roasted beef using our very own special recipe, which we’ve perfected over the years. We’ve been serving it at home, family gatherings, and even weddings. Some things haven’t changed from Italian beef’s humble beginnings!
