That wet beef better do more than fill my hunger for a Rhoads LOL!!!

Thanks for the tip tho!
Im seriouslty anal about these shows and start making lists of what to bring and plotting courses and dinners way in advance.

I have added it to my menu for the Chi Town trip and will be looking forward to it!
Heck, if they're that good, I may have to overnite some home to mama ;-)
Of course I'll give a wet beef/chili dog preview to validate no asswhooping required [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Chicago Guitar Show

And Portillos serves beer,which is unusual and a definite plus for a fast food type joint.

Re: Chicago Guitar Show

Yeah but Villa Park is where Frank Portilio started the business. I like portillios but am spoiled I have one right by my office and rarely go to it but every factory guy or friend/family that comes in from out of town has portilios high on thier list to do. I don't know rhoads good but more than likely I will take you to Portilios buy you lunch and dinner and you will want to give me an SL2HT

you know it too!

I grew up in Grand Haven/Muskegon Michigan and just about every week I think about the great food I grew up with!
I miss it bad. And Ive got my wife hooked uon it too from all the vacations weve been on up there.

In fact, I grew up about 3 hours away from Chicago so I am planning an extra day or two on the trip to go back home and EAT!!!

Re: Chicago Guitar Show

Tekky can you please explain what a wet beef is to the unknowing,I lived in Chi town for thirty years,and laughed my ass off when you said it.My father who lives in FLA now, asked some guy in FLA "Yea make my beef wet" I thought this guy was gonna punch my Dad in the face,I gently told my father to back away slowly [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Lets not forget the hot dogs and deep dish pizza aaaaahhhhh the good old days [img]graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]

Re: Chicago Guitar Show

Actaully it was Sully who said it. But the term "wet beef" refers to pouring extra aus jus on the beef and bread. I find it kinda messy myself. Unlike my women, I prefer my sandwiches dry.

Re: Chicago Guitar Show

Tekky, Tekky!!
You are the info man!!!

I was wondering about the "wet" issue!

And now that you exposed it, I seem to remember this phrase from my youth!!

Sounds like something right up my alley!

I hate dry wiches...:-)

Re: Chicago Guitar Show

Aw man... You guys are making me hungry! If you drive to Chicago, stop by St. Louis and try Fortels Pizza Den. It's St. Louis style thin crust, and it's the best thin crust around! Deep dish is good too, but ya just gotta try Fortels! Oh and I like my sandwiches wet too! That aint just a Chicago thing...... Damn now I'm really gettin hungry!!! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
