Italian beef is a Chicago staple, and I was excited to try it.
Portillo's, Al's, and Buona are some of the most popular chains for Italian beef.
Originally, the show follows a chef returning to Chicago to run his family's sandwich shop that sells — you guessed it — Italian beef.
I moved to Chicago from Hawaii, so I was curious to try Italian beef.
I wanted to order it at some of the most popular chains, so I asked a Chicagoan for recommendations and settled on three: Buona, Portillo's, and Al's Beef.
