Yep. Sometimes all it takes is a shared liking for Italian beef.
I figured you'd be gone with your pal by now.

1 hour, 15 minutes and counting.

Damn. I'm getting hungry,



Explain "Italian beef," if you don't mind.

Around Chicago it's thin sliced beef served on Italian bread.
I don't know all the details, like what cut of beef or all the prep
steps.
But what you see from the counter is the sliced beef pulled out of
the hot juice and slapped onto the bread. I get peppers, which
are green peppers likewise softened by cooking.
I say "dipped" and it at least part of the sandwich gets dipped in the
juice. Wouldn't eat it any other way.
Duck is probably a bigger fan. I *have* had some beef without much
taste. But when it's good, which is normal, it's very good.
Even when the beef isn't the best, the juice and peppers make up for
it.
