Favorite sandwich?

[Core Shot]

Beltex Butcher shop here in SLC makes the best roast beef I’ve ever had. I had a Moment of Clarity eating it.

Beef curtain sandwich. Mmmmmmmm

had a Chicago style Italian beef giardiniera for the first time today, wasn't blown away by the concept of it but any sandwich is worth trying once of course and it was still very good.

looks tasty, what was lacking?

#1. Wrong bread
#2. Meat looks dry and stringy
#3. Where the fuck are the sweet peppers!!!?!?!?!

Wrong. Bread was great, meat was very very moist, as for sweet peppers that would be fine but not a deal breaker here - right the name of the sandwich is "giardiniera", so there's pickled shit on it already.

m2711c, I don't know if anything crucial was missing except maybe some sauce to compliment the beef, I just don't think it's the sandwich for me. Still very good as-is don't get me wrong. IMO it was too similar to a pulled pork sandwich but I prefer a pulled pork with sauce and more fatty tissues than this cut of beef.

I hate to admit that I agree with the kick in the balls shot, but, the bread looks solid, the garnish is just that, it needs moisture, lots of it. That, even on a naked, makes the sammie with the bread and the beef. It needs a bath. Solid foundation though.

Never had a Chicago style beef sandwich, but the sandwich in that pic a) looks tasty and b) I'd probably slather it with mayo or a tiger sauce if it was in my kitchen. I'll show myself out.

Yea I am going to have to agree, that ain’t no Italian Beef, but instead a poorly named substitute.

Yeah. Looks tasty.
But not original chicago style.

The bread looks amazing. But too fancy and crusty.

Dry?

Did you ask for dipped?
You should.

The “sauce” is like au jus. The drool that that meat was simmering in all day.
It’s a sloppy joe.

Dipped. Hots. Sweets. On Italian roll.

Eat it quick or you’ll need a spoon to finish.

This is one of my least favorite. But it’s way better than the shit pic that was posted.
I’ve had this a few times mail order bribed since I left the Windy City.

I have 2 hard and fast sandwich rules I dont deviate from.
Don’t get an Italian beef outside of Chicago
Don’t get a Cubano north of Miami
So far those rules have saved me from a lot of disappointment

The Cubano was invented in St Pete’s and I have had a few extremely good ones there.

Don't get a Philly cheese steak outside of Philly.

How does this affect the value of The Ogden?

[Buzzworthy]

Don't get a Philly cheese steak outside of Philly.

It’s been 29 years since I lived there. I do miss it.
But just had a Moochies Philly and damn it was so good!

You guys can tell me it was dry but for the second time it wasn't remotely dry. I have no issues with arguing if it's not authentic, I wouldn't know what is right, but you two telling me how a good tasting sandwich put out by a well respected boutique butcher is 'wrong' is silly. It really was good, authentic or not, but I'll hold off getting another until I'm in Chicago on your rec, Telee. You guys are probably right it shoulda came with dipping sauce. Anyways, moving on to my next sandwich...

I have no doubt it was tasty, hell it might have been even tastier than it’s namesake. As I pointed out earlier I have 2 (and only 2 ) sandwich rules and it has as much to to do with place as anything. An Italian beef just tastes different after a night spent watching my Cubs and way to many beers at Murphy’s. Just like a Cuban tastes different sitting on the poling platform of the flats boat after getting up at 6 and fishing hard all morning. I tie those experiences and places intimately together with those 2 sandwiches.
Oh, and by the way, wet versus dry - when you get one wet that means they dip the whole damn thing into the au jus resulting in a soggy dripping mess running down your arm. I highly recommend it.
Now I’m going to get a gyro in Gunnison Colorado to prove what a fucking hypocrite I am.

Eating a hot brown variation- sourdough, sliced Turkey, bacon, cherry tomatoes, mustard, bechamel - it’s $$$$$
