Illinois Restaurant Serves The Most Delicious Sandwich In The Entire State

Have you ever heard someone say "I do not like sandwiches"? Neither have we!

Sandwiches, or should we say the perfect component of an ideal breakfast, lunch, and dinner spread, have an extensive history with an exceptional reputation that continues to delight food enthusiasts across the globe. One factor that sets this versatile item apart from the rest is how easily it can be converted into something entirely different while still residing within the same food category.

For example, bacon, egg, and cheese smashed together between two slices of bread is a sandwich, just as much as a Mexican torta served with avocado, beans, cheese, onion, lettuce, jalapeño, and mayo (all existing together in harmony between, again, two slices of bread) is. It's this sandwich diversity that makes the food world go round.

Regardless of what toppings you choose to pile between your bread, there is one standout shop in Illinois known for serving the best sandwiches around!

According to a list compiled by LoveFood , the best sandwich in all of Illinois is the Italian beef served at Al's Italian Beef in Chicago.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about the best sandwich in the entire state and the restaurant that created it:

"No trip to the Windy City is complete without a visit to Al's Italian Beef – the 'home of the great Chicago sandwich' since 1938. It's thought that Al Ferrari, his sister and brother-in-law came up with the recipe for the famous Italian beef sandwich during the Great Depression. Fast-forward to now, and there are multiple locations in and around Chicago, though the original spot on West Taylor Street is still the best for the state's most famous sandwich."
