true chicagoens do not put cheese on their beef sandwich
l love these sandwiches and I grew up eating them Chicago has the best food 😋
Never seen cheese on an Italian beef.💕
If the bread falls apart when you try to lift it to take a bite, it's too soggy.It's not a beef sandwich if you have to eat it with a fork , because it's too soggy, it's not a beef sandwich
That’s the driest beef I’ve ever received
American cheese pls 😋
yummy food
Skip the dipping of bread makes it soggy
skip the cheese, more peppers.
I like the bread not dipped
No cheese but dipped and with fries is going straight to my stomach no you turns nothing
I need mines to be well dipped cheese with the mild or hot peppers
cheese on a beef?
why cheese?
