Okay, okay. That little place you stumbled upon in Chicago/your mom makes a better one–that's fine. There's still no denying the awesomeness of this sandwich.

Seasoned, tender, thinly shaved beef is packed into a soft, chewy roll that works as a sponge, soaking up a gravy so wonderfully flavored you'd be happy to slurp it through a straw. On top, cool, snappy, pickled carrots balance out a generous load of hot peppers (definitely get the hot peppers). What you have is a stunning gift from our friends in the Midwest.
