Was visiting Chicago back in '83, and stopped by a small deli next to the freeway that goes to Waukeegan. I asked for an Italian sandwich. The guy guy said, -You want the regular, or the TBO? -What's that? -The Big One. -Gimme a TBO. It was THE Best sandwich I've ever had in my life. I love Chicagoland and especially the food!

This was taped in late 2012. That sammitch is now $15. I just retired from that deli after 24 years there. That manager (Dave) was the best guy you'd ever want to work for.

That looks so good!!! Too bad they raised the price. Is the sandwich only offered at that specific location?

$20 for that kind of sandwich? No problem. Three meats and two cheese plus veg and dressing is a steal in the northeast. They were selling it for a song before. That's breakfast, lunch and dinner for a hungry short guy like me.

Ka'pella Nuwavin, you're correct. After taxes this one works out to just under $18. I had one last August on French bread (this is the Italian bread version) & after tax is added it's just over $20.

Reasonable price for that kinda size... Compare to Subway, this is a winner.

I couldn’t help noticing that this supermarket was next door to a Blockbuster Video. How convenient must that have been; buy your groceries and then walk in and rent some movies for the weekend. That must’ve been cool.

The cringe of seeing them try not to give him the bread and not take it back after he handled it. Having worked in a grocery deli that resonated with me.

Seeing how indecisive Ted was I knew he was going to get a combination sandwich. Potbelly sells the wreck sandwich, which like this takes up half your calories for the day.

I Love Chicago's "Mr. Submarines",.

Awww sweet Jesus Christ on a bike! It's 3 am and I'm dying now

It reminds me of that sandwich Homer brings home and takes days to finish...

Now, that's a grinder dude!

That Is well Worth the now $15 , hands down. Fireeeeeeee!!!

I bet I could eat that whole sandwich if I took up the George Carlin diet: Fast for three days, then smoke three joints before going to the store.

I love shopping at Fairplay i used to live on 23 and California

Was a “bagger” there in 94’ the sandwich was $5.50

Nice to meet you

It's well worth the money.

And now for another episode of Samurai Delicatessen.

What an awesome sub!

I haven’t had one of their sandwiches in a long time. Maybe tomorrow I’ll stop by.

That is a very cool idea for the deli counter to do that

It's a big sandwich, but not so big that you'd say "I could never finish that sandwhich"

So my Chicago friends are not my friends. They’ve kept this place a secret.

Burns, "Quit cogitating Steinitz and use an open-faced club, a sand-wedge". Homer, "Mmmm, open-faced club sandwich."

went there back when it was a&p... when i first went to fairplay people would smoke in the aisles as they pushed the shopping carts doing their shopping.

My son and I get one every Sunday for football they are delicious we get the turkey roast beef and corned beef with Munster and provolone

At the end of this video I got a subway add lol

BOY are we gonna miss CLTV...

that catch tho

Can anyone please tell me which fairplay this is and how much is it going for now in 2019? I can't wait to eat this sammich

Safeway (Aka Sobyes) does something similar if anyone is from Canada :) same price too actually $12.00 used to be $9.00 like 3 years ago.

If I lived in that area and could get that sandwich, the first time I would put pastrami, ham and oven roasted chicken breast with Colby Jack and cheddar.
