The Godfather trilogy is among my all-time favorite movies. I absolutely hate crying and try to avoid it at all costs, but the tears poured when I saw the finale. Oh, Al Pacino.. <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F62591294&s=084dc50461f1ac57f4b52277c6bae208a89ac4385f3e01a87b72b042dcc02049" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://vimeo.com/62591294</a>
So it was fated that I would try this place out just based on its name.
10" garlic cheesy bread ($6.95) - 5 stars. Colossus of a beef sandwich. Way better value than Portillo's, free sweet & hot peppers if desired (which I always do haha). Juicy meat, not overly salty. Bread that stands up to the weight and breadth of all that meat. I recently had Portillo's Italian beef at the St. Charles location and was not pleased to see the shrunken meat-to-bread ratio. This place will now replace my Portillo's cravings :p
Chicago-style hotdog ($1.99, or $0.99 on Tuesdays) - 4.5 stars, 5 stars on Tuesdays haha. Very good, but not the best hotdog I've had or among my top favorites. I'm more into dogs with a snap and/or char. Other than that, pretty darn perfect for a Chicago-style hotdog. Soft bun & well-proportioned toppings.
