re: Are New York City roast beef sandwiches overrated?

NYC roast beef sandwiches are better than Chicago beef sandwiches IMO. I think that NOLA/Louisiana style of a roast beef poboy is gross.
The tv show The Bear is set in Chicago and I thought the show was a horrible representation of the restaurant business including the desperate lean on incorporating the industry lingo.

This thread has made me want to get a beef for lunch today. The struggle will be deciding from where. The beef, bread, and giardiniera or sweet peppers are slightly different everywhere.

Its so fricking good.
I don't like soggy bread, but just getting wet so its dunked and that's it is perfect. Or dipped.

I had one at Portillos near Wrigley. I was underwhelmed. The meat was bland. the toppings were meh. Basically tasted like you'd think small marinated peppers would taste.

that's been my experience too, a bit overrated for someone raised on Louisiana cuisine but different regions of the country have different tastes

You’re thinking of delis in New York and pastrami in NY. Which are amazing
Posted on 11/13/24 at 9:18 am to Jmcc64
I like Al's way way more than Portillo's

Old man rant incoming.
any sandwich that's dripping wet is one i'm not ordering again. And I get people love a good roast beef debris dripping wet sandwich, just not me.
Soggy bread sucks and i don't like needing to take a shower after i eat.
I, too, prefer not to have a sloppy sandwich that requires 15 napkins to eat it. I prefer to have my gravy on the side so I can dip it or pour it myself.

This is why the bread is so important you get a bread with a nice crispy crunchy crust yet has a soft enough inside to absorb the liquid so you got a crunchy crust outside soft gravy infused center.

McDonalds has plenty of options if that's how you want to be....

Portillos Is good for what it is, fast food Italian beef sandwiches. FYI, there’s a Portilos right by the rental car return at Ohare if you’re doing business there. Better sandwich than anything the airport can deliver.

Portillos in Chicagoland....chefs kiss

I don't think I ever heard anybody mention roast beef with NYC together. I've heard of pastrami with NYC though.

Do you hold sandwiches over your head while you're eating?
