Chicago Beef Sandwiches

Have you ever had one of these things? They are the quintessential Chicago sandwich, adored by the locals. 

Essentially, they are composed of a thinly shaved beefish meat product that is somehow super-saturated with garlic. This is then dunked into a noxious equally garlic super-saturated warm ostensibly beef-based sort of broth. Then the whole soaking wet mess, along with a few peppers, is tossed into a bun. 

The end product is every bit as revolting as you would expect. The broth runs down your chin, the bun turns to mush, but those locals just love them. 

On the other hand, civilized diners aren't ready yet.
