Aurelio's too!

Pictures of my kids still on their wall at the original Homewood, IL store.

We went to Big City Grill in SS one time and swore we would never return. Terrible.

Got a sausage Malnati's in the freezer right now (but not for long). Did not know about ordering Portillos or Aurelio's. Good to know. On a more somber note, there is now another empty storefront in Spanish Springs square. As we all know, there is not much more of a negative image than shuttered businesses in a "downtown" area. Let's hope that the Big City Grill site doesn't stay closed like Bourbon Street has been for over the two years that I know about.

Now I don't feel bad that we never made it there. From the other posts, it sounds like we would have gone only once. :)

You and Mallory are making me hungry. We have a Portillos and Aurelio's (Giordano's too) a short drive away. Might have to hit one of them for dinner tomorrow. No Malnati's nearby though.

Went once ..............
 

The wife is from New York and couldn't wait till we went to the 466 spot. Once there, we couldn't wait to leave. 1) wouldn't accept credit cards, 2) no plates on which to put your "food", 3) food was poor quality for a spot that was hyped as being so great.
Went once and never went again.

Wifey keeps telling "Joey" at Caravelli's (deli/restaurant) in Oviedo they need to grab a spot in the Villages. Now there is some good Italian food.
But he wants his own place not someplace he has to rent up here.
They make a cheese and bacon quiche' to die for!!

You're a lucky man, BobKat1.

Actually, I went there and the store they had on 466, many times in hopes that they would get the hang of making an Italian Beef Sandwich - they were sort of close; maybe a 3 on a scale of 10. Their pizza was the pits.

The only place I know of that you can get a Chicago Italian Beef Sandwich is in Chicago - all over the place.

When my brother and his wife (from the Chgo South Burbs) came down in March they brought Italian Beef and fixings for a big feast for all the family in TV (Uncle & Aunt, other Bro and wife, me and wife, and our daughter and her family from Deland).
