Nothing solves a problem quite like a hearty, tasty sandwich piled high with your favorite fixings.
If you've had a long day, your stomach is growling, or you're looking for a versatile meal that the whole family will enjoy, a sandwich is probably the answer!
While sandwiches are on the menu at a handful of delis, shops, and restaurants across the state, there is one Illinois staple that serves this dish better than the rest. Be it presentation, ingredients, or ambiance, something about this standout location sets the bar high for all other establishments across the state, and today, we're going to find out why!
According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the best sandwich in Illinois is served at Al's Italian Beef in Chicago. LoveFood praised this restaurant's Italian Beef sandwich for its delicious taste and fresh ingredients.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about the restaurant that serves the best sandwich in the entire state:
"No trip to the Windy City is complete without a visit to Al's Italian Beef – the 'home of the great Chicago sandwich' since 1938. It's thought that Al Ferrari, his sister and brother-in-law came up with the recipe for the famous Italian beef sandwich during the Great Depression. Fast-forward to now and there are multiple locations in and around Chicago, though the original spot on West Taylor Street is still the best place to try the state's most famous sandwich."
