November 6, 20187 yr Where do you go for your favorite Reuben? French dip, etc...? Biderman’s is a bit overrated, imo Anyone tried Jew Hungry?
November 6, 20187 yr Italian at Home Slice Pastrami/Rueben at Walton's Duck Pastrami/Rueben at Noble Pig Shrimp/Crawfish Po-Boy at Shoal Creek Bahn Mi at the trailer in the parking lot of the gas station/corner store at 45th and Burnet Duck Rueben/Burger at Hopfield's
November 6, 20187 yr Used to go to Ave B all the time, miss having a legit sandwich shop near by. Now I have to rely on everyone's mom to make me a sandwich.
November 6, 20187 yr I like the french dip at Biderman's. For Pastrami, Pieous is pretty hard to beat. Just wish they had a location in central Austin.
November 7, 20187 yr Solid. Delaware sub for the philly was going to be my #3. If/when you get New Tucker set up, will it count 3 from each poster? I've been answering that way, just because that's how you had it set up at the old place.
November 7, 20187 yr Chilanga torta at Mi Tradicion Italian at Home Slice Chicken terrine at Sourduck
November 7, 20187 yr I'm also a fan of the Italian at Home Slice, but lately I've been getting the chicken parmesan sandwich there. It's heavy, but really good. My other favorite in town is the Chicago-style Italian beef at Tucci's SouthSide Subs. Slow cooked roast with banana peppers, provolone and au jus.
November 7, 20187 yr Little deli - Henry’s perfect pastrami Shady Grove - Club Sandwich with side of jap ranch Gourmands - The Last Supper & Godfather Bert’s - Turbo T Man (w/chili)
November 7, 20187 yr I can't put it in bold, because it doesn't exist any more, and they had their issues, but holy shit the best sandwich I ever ate - and I ate it a lot - was Bennigan's Monte Christo. If anyone has any recommendation anywhere near that goddamn delicious food item, please post it here. I'd stomp through a blockade of newborns just to get one. Well, no I wouldn't, but close!

The Steeping Room allegedly does it right at Sunday Brunch. They also have Croque Monsieur sammiches daily. The Steeping Room brunch The Steeping Room main menu
November 8, 20187 yr Holy Roller: Meatloaf sandwich is phenomenal. El Primo: best torta I've had in town. Love their asada. Fricano's Deli: Paul's spicy reuben is fantastic. I also love to get the Ainsworth, it's always been good no matter what they choose.
November 9, 20187 yr Way South for a Philly, Delaware for the Italian Sausage. Banh Mi trailer on 45th. Brick Chicken Sliders at Cover 3. Prime Rib sandwich at Bartlett's.
November 28, 20187 yr Way South - Philly Bidermans - anything Noble Pig is the most overrated sandwich place.

November 28, 20187 yr The first time I went to Noble Pig, I hated it. Not that the sandwich was bad, it was tiny AF. Plus, they only put meat on one half of the sandwich. 2nd time I went, I enjoyed it a lot more since I didn't expect a giant sandwich like the one they made for whatever Food Network show they were profiled on. The Italian sub at Home Slice needs some love. It's a perfect sandwich. Edited November 28, 20187 yr by CooterBrown

I've had the Italian Beef at Tucci's. It's a perfectly good hot roast beef sandwich/french dip with banana peppers. But it in no way resembles an authentic Italian Beef that you get in Chicago. Calibrate your expectations going in. Tucci's Southside Italian Gourmet is a DAMN good sandwich.
November 28, 20187 yr Any recs on a legit Italian Beef in Austin? And if one doesn't exist, why aren't we opening the Surly Sammich Shoppe?
November 28, 20187 yr A decade ago there was a trailer at the end of South Lamar (where Barley Bean and the new hotel are now) that served a damn good one. I haven't found a decent replacement since. Edited November 28, 20187 yr by KaiserSoze

I had their Italian beef, and it was just OK. That au jus doesn't compare to having the sandwich dipped into the fat drippings that gets collected during the cook. Briefly in Addison there was a place called Al's Italian Beef, and they did it right. It wasn't open for very long unfortunately.

Please report back. Looking at their menu, my skepticism is aroused (oh my) by the fact that giardiniera is an add-on.

I'll order a combo hot, sweet and dipped and see if they fuck it up. now, let's find a place that has pizza puffs Edited January 17, 20196 yr by irishtexan
January 17, 20196 yr To further my concern, the menu defines giardiniera as "hot peppers". Not "a vegetable relish made with hot peppers". Prepare your emotional anus.

Done properly they should define it as giardiniera (assuming that's actually what it is) and put it on your sandwich and if you don't like it you can go fuck yourself.

January 18, 20196 yr Happy to report that the combo at Wrigleyville South food cart on s Lamar is a perfectly acceptable Italian beef sandwich. It’s not the best I’ve ever had, but it will appease your hankering for a legitimate beef. They got it all mostly right, except for using sweet red peppers instead of green peppers, which is more traditional. I took it to go and appreciate it was packaged fairly dry with a sealed side of Au Jus included in the bag. If you take a beef to go that isn’t dry it will almost completely soak through the bun. So that was a nice touch to be able to add jus as necessary. Giardiniera seemed to be Vienna. Crinkle cut fries were decent as well. For reference, my favorite beef in Chicago is mr. beef. Next I will have to check out Chi-Town Chicago Style Eatery way the fuck out on 620 and Bee Cave, as I discovered they have pizza puffs there.
January 19, 20196 yr If you are a northerner like me, hoody’s in round rock is great. My favorite cheesesteak in Austin. Line out the door around lunch time.

January 19, 20196 yr I'd eat that. I'll have to make a weekend trip south of the river.There’s a joint in round rock called Lucky’s Chicago grill that sells beefs. No idea if it’s worth a shit. Not sure how far north you are.
January 19, 20196 yr I'm near 360/2222 but work near Braker & Burnet -- might make a good lunch trip.
