Some of the Best Things to Do in Chicago

04 Italian beef sandwiches

Chicago may be famous for its pizza, but the Italian beef is at the center of the city's culinary treasures. The sandwich, which has been a staple in Chicago since the 1930s, features thinly-sliced roast beef that's been simmered in au jus and served on a long French roll with bell peppers. You can find these sandwiches just about anywhere in the city.
