Id drive from Milwaukee just to have one of these and meet Al...............
I like Al's and Michael's for their hot girdeinrea, but Johnnie's beef is the best to me. I wouldn't even be shocked if people would go to Al's or Michael's just for the girdeinrea and put it on a Johnnie's beef. It sounds crazy, but people do that for Uncle Remus and Harold's over mild sauce.
I just want to meet him. Great Guy
This guy is the epitome of a Chicago accent. I moved to Wisconsin when I was 13. I didn’t understand when people said I had an accent. I don’t have it until I visit relatives.

Doze Cheeseheads got a accent too, ya know ? Ya hey der. 😂
The owner is adorable!💕 and I'm a Philly girl! 😅
I need to have this experience at least one time.
This is how a damn legend talks what a don!
God bless you sir you and your family lots of good food and lot's and lot's of work 💪🤗👍🤠
Business 101. Give the customer WHAT THEY WANT. This owner is doing exactly that. People want the nastalgia and he gives it to them too. Excellent video.
Al is spot on about assuming the Italian Stance....otherwise the front of your garment will have drippings on it. A Beef is a fun, messy meal like barbecued ribs slathered in sauce, but you gotta be careful or everyone will know you just ate.
You definitely hit the right spot Al's 🔥🔥💯
Great guy, better beef at Johnnies!
That guy is cool. Love every minute of this.
Serrellis finer food's on North ave. Over 85+years in making the best Italian beef.
Al’s is the best, super super close 2nd is Johnnie’s. Can’t go wrong with either, both are outstanding.
Take the trip west and go to Johnnie’s in Elmwood Park. That’s the place for beef.
Mr. Beef is #1 in my book, but Al's and Johnnie's are close. I love how Al's owner doesn't care who's got the best Italian beef.
we were over by dare, from turdy eight to sixty tree.
THE ITALIAN BEEF IS THE BEST
Italian sign language would be a lot to take in
Please don’t give me wrong no offense, but I do not like LB beef like Portillos beef. Patel is better. I always like Portillos the best hotdog sandwiches.
I like Portillo gravy but AL meat is better quality. But per lb, Al is about $10 more.
Marcos Beef!! Fullerton and Austin (belmont cragin) hands down its the best in chicago

Well said…
To me the worst beef in Chicago they put cinnamon in their gravy that make it sweet Johnny’s is the best
Sliced roast beef in au jus on a good roll. These look good, just like hundreds of other shops across the nation.
Ripoff. $11 for a three inch sandwich $20 for a 7 inch sandwich . The Patio on Taylor Street has a much better Italian Beef sandwich at half the price !!!
I can make 3lbs of Italian beef at home for $15. That’s an absurd amount he’s charging for one sandwich.

@solo741 That’s not the price of anything. 3 lbs of sirloin tips for $10. 75 cents for Italian. Dressing and 50 cents for a roll Are you an ole Timey chimney sweeper $3 a pound sirloin and the rest of your prices. Yiu may as well pay a homeless bum to pick out of his garbage he collected for your bargain.

@@oldironsides4107 Jewel has BOGO on sirloin tip at least once a month. That is the right price on the zesty Italian dressing packets which you can also get BOGO at Jewel. The rolls I gave you the price of a single roll but you can get a pack of 6 for $1.50 so a single roll is actually .25. Giardiniera is the only one that is difficult to find on sale but you have to buy in bulk when it is. Remember that this guy is also buying in bulk and I think he makes his own giardiniera if I’m remembering the video right, so even if he’s paying $5 a pound, which is doubtful, he’s still paying less than $20 for a 3 pound batch.

Not an Al's beef fan. They put something in their gravy, that is very distinctive, that I personally don't like.... Allspice, cinnamon....something..
