WE TAKE FRESH SERIOUSLY™
The perfect Italian beef sandwich begins with slow oven roasted, perfectly Italian seasoned beef, tender and extremely lean,
sliced amazingly thin. Spices and seasonings used in its preparation include only the freshest natural products that
ultimately produce our 100% natural beef gravy.
[Note: In Chicago-speak, "gravy" as it relates to an authentic Italian
beef sandwich is not that thick gooey stuff you pour over turkey, but rather a thin, highly seasoned, aromatic juice that
seeps into every crevice of the sandwich.]
Our Italian beef sandwiches are served on fresh Italian Bread, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The sandwich can then be
"dipped" in the natural juices of the beef and garnished with sweet peppers or our original homemade hot peppers (giardiniera).
Al's fresh homemade hot giardiniera was born of a recipe developed mainly through trial and error over our 70 year reign as
Chicago's premiere Italian beef sandwich maker. The spices we use in the giardiniera are designed as a perfect compliment to our Italian beef seasoning. Only the freshest and firmest sweet peppers are washed, hulled, sliced
and placed in our special oil. The process today is the same as it began over a half century ago.
To complement our amazing sandwiches, Al's Beef has been an innovator and a conservator of the most sacred of traditions,
THE MAKING OF REAL HOMECUT, HOMECOOKED FRENCH FRIES. Our French fries have been consistently ranked as the best in the nation.
We hand wash, hand cut and cook each and every raw potato that we bring into our restaurants. To eat Al's fresh cut fries
is to experience a little piece of heaven on earth.
 
If that’s not enough, see what else we are serving! From Italian Beef and Sausage, to a famous Chicago style Hot Dog
with all the trimmings [In Chicago we don’t do ketchup on a dog ... but we have it if you insist!] If you're
looking for something lighter, many of our franchises offer great wraps and burgers! But don’t expect to get these on Taylor Street.
