I’ll take Pop’s Italian Beefs any day of the week , dipped or with just a little gravy to me the best . Plus they don’t skimp on the beef and they have a regular size and a large size . The best beef I ever had was Jimmy’s Hot dogs on Belmont and Kilbourn but that was years ago and Jimmy’s was the first to make gravy bread , we as kids never had much money if any and Jimmy would take a big piece of Italian bread dunk it in gravy and give it to us for a nickel. Another place was Boobies on River Rd (?)

Back in the day in the Chicago Italian Neighborhoods, there were Bakeries scattered all over for many long decades. As time passed, and perhaps due to convenience, there were large Bakers who could provide such fresh breads daily delivered, and of course in the 60's on forward, Gonella became the simple "Gold Standard" in the windy city. I was born-raised on Taylor St, so I have personal experience. You'd see the trucks pull up and delivering bags and bags of bread.

$29?! Foolios! I'll pass. 95% today is likely Round Roast, but there's not a darn thing wrong with that. If you can get high quality beef. But today that can be like trying to find the Golden Fleece to make such yourself. Even what local purveyors in the windy city can provide is ho hum, because so much of what we eat today is total shit with commercial processing. There's butchers I know, I can get pure raw Ground Round, delicious for german style Hackpeter. Another huge problem with Chicago Beefs usually wherever you go, the bread is like freaking rubber mush that sat in a plastic bags for 2-3 days right from the get go. Portillos is of course famous for this. French Bread supposed to have light crispy crust, not like eating a Sponge! What you do to it after that is up to you, drown it till the sammy weighs 4lbs. Finding good Bakerys today anywhere that can provide the right bread for this Sammy is awful thin today. Back in the 50's-60's there were countless great Bakerys, And no, I don't consider D'Amatos all that, they really aren't that good today. And that's likely where Bari sources their Bread. Bari does make a huge Beef, a little costly, but go take a ride over by Al's, and take a look at their pathetic 4" Sammy for like $12 Skins or so. LOL
