Glad you liked it. Great people working there too. I hope you got a Cannoli while you were there.

A cannoli? I got four.

A cannoli? I got four.

When I was there last week, I got one and it was the only one I'd ever had. I'll be back soon though.

Fat Dan's does have an excellent italian beef.
Careful the order of tater tots is huge.

Zacky's (Carmel) has a good italian beef too.

I went to Zacky's over the weekend due to your post. That was a good sammich. I'll have to go back to try their other stuff. The place is a little hole int he wall with about 10 tables in it; the service was fast and friendly and the prices were reasonable. Good little restaurant.

I tried to go back into cannoli queen today but I got there too late.. They were closed. I was so depressed. I have been after another sandwich since I had the last one.

Man, thats a good looking sandwich. Carmel is way on out of my way nowadays..

Al's Beef

Where did you get that? That looks nothing like the sammich I got from canolli queen!

Looks like Al's to me. If your canolli queen sammich didn't look like that I am wondering on the authenticity of said sammich.

 

[jbombelli]

Al's is really good. I think Mr. Beef is a little bit better - I just don't like Al's giardiniera as much.

Portillo's or Pop's are two of my tops, then there's Tony's.

Portillo's Big Beef Dipped with hot peppers. Best. Sammich. Ever.

 

[forgop]

Another Big Al's this time with the hot peppers. Don't know what I was thinking ordering mild last time around. I think Portillo's was better.

That portillos is a good lookin sandwich!

That portillos is a good lookin sandwich!

I stopped at Portillo's in Merrillville and grabbed 2 more to bring home. That'll make for some outstanding sammiches at work this weekend...and the end of the goodies leading up to my diet starting Monday.
