August 23, 200520 yr earlier in the season I started a thread on italian beef... numerous responses were posted... I actually used kid gleason's receipe.. it was awesome, especially for a sunday afternoon where the temp was 102... use the crock pot and don't heat the house... WELL... sunday afternoon I found myself around cermack and wolf roads... when a light bulb went on in my head... I passed the mediterreanen(sp?) deli and remembered someone talking about.... CARM'S BEEF... OH MY GOODNESS... the BEST italian beef sandwich I have ever eaten...

I am now complete I believe that was me...I am the biggest supporter of Carm's...even if they are Cub fans! Glad you enjoyed it...I think I'll go there today for lunch!
August 23, 200520 yr Ah...not just me...Mplssoxfan knew it too...look at that, a guy in enemy territory knows what's up. QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 02:59 AM) Carm's in Westchester... Oh, man I miss it. QUOTE(tonyho7476) its Hillside...and its the best...especially with hot peppers and mozzarella....people who say portillo's are crazy. While both Buona beef and Portillo's are good, they do not compare to Carm's. I recommend everyone give them a try. If you work in Oakbrook, its only about 7-10 minutes away. Its on Wolf Rd, North of 22nd street and south of Roosevelt. I guarantee you won't be dissappointed. I've been going there since I was a kid.

If you get off on Mannheim, via 290, you would take Mannheim South to Roosevelt, Roosevelt West to Wolf, Wolf South to Carm's....Its across the street from where a cemetery/golf course merge.
August 23, 200520 yr Oh, I thought it was in the city. If I'm ever lost in the burbs, I'll hit it up.
August 23, 200520 yr Taylor st, Al's #1 beef, by far the best in the chicago land area if not everywhere. They are highly revered for their beef and sausage. If you havent eaten there, you havent had beef.
