As much shit as people here talk about flyover states, Chicago's O'Hare is a land-in layover destination. Love it or hate it, Chicago's in the top-5 food destinations in the country, along with NYC, LA, and New Orleans.

Speaking of, take a vacation from Chi-town, and get down to New Orleans. There's no such thing as a bad restaurant in NOLA, the competition is too ferocious. Even their shithole restaurants are good by any other state or country's standards.

Full dip is when they take the whole sandwich and submerge it in the jus pot.

Half dip is when they take the sandwich and just dip one half in the jus pot.

On the side, is a bowl/container of jus so you dip according to your personal preference.

I mix it up desu. Usually if it's to go I'll get it dry or on the side. Sometimes I don't feel like making a mess if I'm eating there.

Objectively though I think dipped tastes the best.

I've always been confused as to why provolone or mozzarella isn't a default ingredient on italian beefs. They're delicious as is but when I make them at home I'll use garlic bread and mozzarella cheese too. I think there's another name for that but I don't know offhand.

>>10721215
You can't make it at home. The most important ingredient is the bread and theres nothing close away from the northeast.

On top of that you can't get the proper cut. All those recipes online telling you to freeze the steak just result in little chopped up pieces of steak that are far too small. Proper cheese steaks are made of steak that is evenly cut, large, and flowing like deli meat. The only butchers I've ever found willing to do that out side of philly already do it because they sell to Japanese customers that require it for sukiyaki. Most Asian grocery stores only have the frozen shit.

I bet you're a real joy at parties.....

I can understand not wanting to eat meat, to each their own, but your rant about jalapenos and spicy food makes me genuinely worried that you may have a mental illness.

First of all this thread has been 95% about a chicago italian beef sandwich, which does not feature jalapenos. Great job buddy.

Second, the only thing remotely "spicy" is the giardiniera, which is nothing more than pickled vegetables with a slight bit of zip.

Third, capsaicin doesn't have a flavor, therefore it can't be "tasty"... it provides a sensation of heat.

Fourth, there are cultures that have been using spicy/hot chili peppers in cooking for thousands of years. Yeah they're real tough guys showing off! Hot pepper meme losers!

Reporting in for philly cheesesteak, add mushrooms and spinach.

There's a chain around the Bay Area(and beyond?) called the Cheese Steak Shop, and I just fucking love that shit. The cheese is so creamy, it mixes in with the piping hot beef and veggies. Sweet and spicy pickled peppers, but not enough to overwhelm the savory elements and just these lovingly sauteed veggies.

If I could get them to use fresh spinach instead of frozen and cut down on some the sogginess it would be the perfect sandwich. I could die happy.

I know it's hard to imagine, but people do enjoy bitterness when it's balanced when other flavors. In a similar way as acidity can cut through fatty foods, bitterness can help even out sweet flavors. The main flavor of beer is sweet malt; the hoppy citrus and piney aromatics help create a well-rounded beverage.
Spiciness in food is its own sensation detached from flavor. It's satisfying to receive a building heat while enjoying a savory meal. It gets you to dig in more, while you're sweating and pigging out.
Rather than shutting out such experiences because of a rationalization or initial discomfort, try to understand why one would take pleasure in these sensations. There is joy to be had in finding new appreciation in things you've previously denied yourself.
