I Went Behind the Counter at Mr. Beef Chicago | United States of Plates

I got to go behind the counter with Chris Zucchero, owner of Mr. Beef Chicago — the legendary Italian beef stand you may recognize from a famous TV series 👀 Chris shares the history of the shop, starting in 1979 when his father bought it, and shows me exactly how they’ve been cooking Italian beef the same way for over 40 years. From making gravy to slicing beef, they’re still serving nearly 1,000 sandwiches a day. This is real deal Chicago Beef, and the family values from the joint shine through in their customer service and their iconic sandwiches! This is Episode 1 of United States of Plates!
