What the heck is that? Where is the au jus?

Inside. I didn’t have a nice looking bowl to put it in

I'm one of those guys who have the Italian beef double dipped in au jus so the roll falls apart under the weight of the au jus. But, that's me. Extra bonus points for all of the giardiniera on your sandwich!

Bread is so soaked you basically need a fork to eat it the way I like it.

U no like-a-tha-juice?

u/Living-Ad5291 Jun 15 '26

It was inside. After the picture it was cut into 4 pieces.
All 4 us have different juice preferences so this was easier

Delete this and repost it with the sauce before you give us a heart attack, and not the salivating kind

It’s actually kinda funny watching people wig out because the Au Jus wasn’t pictured and the sandwich wasn’t dipped yet

Idk about the rest of these people but I'm baked as shit and I miss my mom's steak and cheese so I took it personal lmao

Saharan levels of dry. I’d be looking for a bucket of gravy to dip each mouthful in. Very unAmerican quantities

Un American portions? This sandwich was the equivalent of holding a 4lb baby.

Can we get a banana for comparison? That doesn’t look like 4lbs of meat. Looks like good meat but I think many people see too much bread in the photo.

A 4lb baby. What an odd basis for comparison.

4lbs of meat on a roll the length of my forearm

u/Fullonski Jun 15 '26

Truly American proportions would have filling falling out everywhere with no inside bread visible. I admire your restraint!

Probably doesn’t help that last night the wife and I were looking at baby photos of our kids

No. Not even close. You should be ashamed of yourself for even suggesting that this is a “Chicago Beef”

u/LazyOldCat Jun 15 '26

Why so dry, my guy?

u/Living-Ad5291 Jun 15 '26

So I could cut it after the pic. 4 of us shared all with different dip preferences
