Yo guys. I'm super grateful/stoked that you guys love the video so much. Just a little announcement so you aren't in the dark... It's getting cold here in Chicago which makes backseat eating quite unpleasant for these food crawl videos. We're going to take a brief pause in this style of video for a few months until it warms back up again. DON'T WORRY THOUGH! We WILL be back at it with a number of other Chi food crawls with special guests as soon as possible. Hell, I might even eat my words and run one during the winter if I'm feeling like it's possible. Just wanted you to know. THANK YOU FOR WATCHING I LOVE YOU KISS KISS HUG HUG! Seriously though. Thanks c:

I was born in Little Italy... They broke it up... We ended up moving to what some refer to as Li'l Tuscany. 22nd & Oakley baby! Home of some of the best mom and pop owned sit down Italian Restaurants that are going on a century old. Sadly, as those restaurants are still there, the funeral parlor (mom ...rest her soul) is gone. Our friend Danny's family owned the mom&pop Ace Hardware... that's all gone. St Michael's church and grade school looks destroyed. When the Italians finally say "goodbye" to the Church...there's no turning back. So, sadly our neighborhood on the West side is also gone. (except the restaurants...they are still there) Thank you for doing this video. I actually got emotional watching it. -Giovanni ✌️

@CarbonaraKing20 күн бұрын
@ Born off of Taylor,.... then we moved to 22nd & Oakley... for me,...my life was centered around 22nd and Oakley. But to the city of Chicago,... Taylor St is where it all began. That is the place my parents were a part of and as I struggle to accept what gentrification and politics did to my neighborhood...the city at large, with a much larger Italian immigrant population, will never forget Little Italy...Rosebuds, Italian Festivals, summer Italian ice, Canfield's Red for the kids, RC Cola for the older kids and Campari and Soda for pops...(which I thought was Canfield's for adults). Al's Beef and the entire time I thought that I was lucky to be one of them. The neighboring Polish kids would ask to come in just so we could sit on the street corner salt boxes and they'd bring in their Maxwell Street dogs with them. We knew how to intermingle...we really didn't need the Irish city officials to tell us how to do it. We miss it all. The good, the bad and the indifferent. It has made us who were are. I personally struggle and memories like this make me reminisce when times were good. Instead of taking a bus from Comiskey, we'd walk home and buy a huge watermelon with the savings. I was always dragged around like a third wheel. I got the handle bars or cross bar of the bike. I was too young to get into trouble, but never too young to not get into trouble. There was never a pot of spaghetti sauce not being cooked somewhere on the block. We knew most of the neighbors... cuz that was considered normal to us. So to answer Mario,... my heart is all of it. And I certainly think the diaspora'd dagos from Chicago thought so too. Much love, Giovanni

Anyway, shout out to Adam helping showcase some of the best business owners in the city. Cool to seeJoseph, next generation and all class. Especially because generations did have to pivot like JPG since years ago you bought in bulk for big families, he made the move to more subs years ago and has really worked hard at leaning into it.

Great job but you need to hit the suburbs as you missed Alpine food shop in elmwood park,Al&Joes in Franklin park which both use imported provolone on their subs. All the places you went to all changed their recipes with adding Giardiniera to their subs as it wasn’t an original item on the subs. They all went cheap with using the domestic provolone then using the original imported provolone which gives the sandwich the unique taste

I grew up in New England, and got my first italian at the Amato's in Portland, Maine on India Street back in like '76 or so. Same place my dad, grandfather, and great grandfather all got theirs. It is a very good sub, and many claim they invented it. All that said, the sub at Graziano's looked perfect to me. The bread, the meat, the veg, all perfect.
