OK so it's not an Italian Beef per se because of the bread, but mighty tasty with spicy giardiniera (notably imported from Chicago, noted the menu), crinkle-cut fries (by far my favorite fry shape but not so common in LA), and a side of jus (that was not on the menu but when I asked if they served it "dipped" or "juicy" they very graciously brought a side of it) that overall made one heck of a sammich! 8/10 Yum

There’s an Italian place (technically Greek, but that’s every Italian place outside of the North End) in Worcester that my family has been going to for as long as I can remember, and despite not being a vegetarian, I always get the veggie sub (with extra banana peppers). The rest of their food is probably medium shitty (in a good way!), but its full of nostalgia and unequivocally the best veggie sub I’ve ever had - an underrated sub sandwich
Still weird to me every time I see one of these out of the Midwest context. Veggie sandwich still hits with the same mayo and bread delights as it did in college.
