Over the holidays we drove from Saskatchewan to Columbus, Ohio for a wedding. We spent Christmas in Chicago and got to enjoy wet hot Italian beef sandwiches. Wow, they were great! A big thanks to my wife who found the place, Al’s #1Beef.

    The meat is basically slow cooked in a vat of fat, meat drippings, and broth. A wet Italian Beef is when you dip the bread of the sandwich fully into that vat, then pile the meat on top.

      Thank you! I’ve never come across one but it sounds delicious.

      I think the closest I’ve had is getting a beef sandwich with a pot of gravy to dip it in myself.
