Season 2 of The Bear is a good excuse to enjoy an Italian beef at a place like Johnnie's Beef, where we documented a day in the life with pictures by kathleen_hinkel.
Since 1961, Johnnie's Beef on North Avenue in west suburban Elmwood Park has been operating as one of the most storied family-owned and -operated Italian beef stands in the Chicago area. The least expensive item on the menu is a tamale—$1.70—and the most expensive is a “combo” sandwich with their famed Italian beef and sausage, at $6.80. All sandwiches are 6 inches long.
Around 9:19 am, 55-year-old cook Felix warms the roaster while 21-year-old Marco Antonio prepares to trim the fat off the beef before they toss it in the roaster to cook. When Johnnie’s opens at 11:00 am, a line of about ten customers has already formed. The swiftly moving line tails out the door through most of the day. Steve and Pamela Moody are among those waiting later in the day. They ventured from another area of Chicago for a sandwich. Why? Steve says,"Love the beef. She wants it and it's our anniversary."
