Chicago Italian Beef, But Make It Brooklyn | Recipe Drop

Check out Food52's new series Recipe Drop, where one of our Test Kitchen experts walks us through a brand-new recipe they developed just for Food52. Tune in for exclusive original recipes, from buttery pastries to showstopping roasts. "Some of the world's best sandwiches are born from the fusion of traditional and new ingredients, found in cities with rich immigrant histories. The Chicago Italian Beef is a classic example. Missing that “Italian Beef” taste in my native Brooklyn, I created this homage. It keeps the spirit of the original while adding a few bodega-inspired twists. Don't forget the giardiniera—it wouldn't be a proper beef without it!" - César
