#7: Italian Beef – Portillo’s (Illinois)
The Italian Beef Sandwich from Portillo’s, which originated in Illinois, is made with thin-sliced beef soaked in au jus and complemented by a variety of sweet and hot peppers. Italian beef, in general, differs from traditional beef in that it’s typically finely sliced and served on a roll. Who knows for sure? It might also be made from cows that moo in Italian accents.
