About The Beef
Origin of the Sandwich
The Italian beef sandwich is a culinary delight originating from Chicago, Illinois. It consists of thin slices of roast beef, slow-cooked and served au jus on French bread. The sandwich can be customized with either spicy giardiniera (referred to as “hot”) or mild bell peppers (known as “sweet”). Traditionally, the entire sandwich is dipped in the flavorful meat juices before being served alongside a side of Chips. While the exact origin remains uncertain, it is believed that Italian American immigrants in Chicago introduced this savory creation as early as the 1930s. Over time, the Italian beef sandwich gained widespread popularity within the city, becoming a beloved culinary icon by the 1970s and 1980s
Our Giardiniera
Giardiniera, pronounced “jar-din-air-ah,” is a delightful Italian condiment that you’ll want to incorporate into your culinary repertoire. Originating in Italy and later embraced by Chicago, this pickled vegetable relish adds a zesty and crunchy element to various dishes.

As these vibrant ingredients marinate in the pickling brine, their flavors meld together, creating a zesty medley that adds a punch to your sandwich!
The Chips!
Since 1930, Better Made Potato Chips have been a beloved staple in Detroit. The story begins with two entrepreneurial Detroiters and Sicilian immigrants, Cross Moceri and Peter Cipriano, who joined forces to create a potato chip business initially known as Cross & Peter Company. Eventually, the Cipriano family acquired full ownership, leading to a name change: Better Made. This iconic brand has stood the test of time, delighting snack enthusiasts with its crispy, flavorful chips. The company’s journey—from humble beginnings to becoming a Detroit favorite—is a testament to its enduring legacy.

The Au Jus!
Certainly! The au jus in an Italian beef sandwich is a key component that imparts its distinctive flavor. Similar to the concept of dipping a French dip sandwich, the au jus is rich in beef flavor. It’s intensified by a medley of seasonings, including garlic, parsley, basil, oregano, thyme, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. When you bite into this sandwich, the juicy, savory essence of the au jus combines harmoniously with the tender, thinly sliced beef, creating a taste experience that’s uniquely Italian and utterly satisfying
