I love good Italian beef sandwiches, and they are not always easy to find. I have been trying to get over to Dank Beef when he is open for about 8 months or so. Angelo is mostly open at night, especially this time of year... as he says the lunch crowd is almost non-existent.
I finally got lucky today, while out wandering around downtown. I asked Angelo to make me an OG with au jus on the side, so I could take it home and have it for dinner. He was very accommodating... and got me fixed right up! Enjoyed chatting with him too... great guy!
After I got home, about dinner time... I heated up the sandwich in the oven, wrapped in foil. Nuked the au jus he sent me home with, and got out the giardiniera that I had in the fridge. Loaded the sandwich up with giardiniera, poured the au jus over the top (I love these sandwiches wet!), and then devoured it. I did have to add a little salt, and even hit it with some hot sauce, because I like it that way.
Great sandwich... LOTs of meat, the smoked provolone was perfect, and the roll it was on was tasty too. Definitely a full meal!
Highly recommended, and I hope to see you there. read more
