Al's Italian Beef

A Chicago institution, we had never been there until yesterday. Naturally, we had to go with the Italian Beef Sandwich (with giardiniera), dipped in au jus, with a side of cheese fries. So bad for you, but so worth it. As Katy said, "Since I'm rocking this belly, I can get away with this." Unfortunately, I can't use that excuse, though I hear that girth is totally 'in' for 2010.

This was a 'regular' size Italian Beef. Sadly, they had 2 sizes bigger than this. So size does matter.

Nothing says "I'm going out with a bang" like fried food slathered in fluorescent orange cheese sauce.

I hear this is what Ruben Studdard's diet consists of.

Sounds delectable, yet prepared in a bit too much trans fats for my discerning palate. Perhaps some tarragon carrots would serve you both well.

One love...
