Pick and Save here at least has frozen Sliders. I have yet to find a decent 'Talian Beef anywhere here. MarketDay does sell a decent frozen Portillo's 'Talian Beef however either online or through our Church fundraiser.

Hey Der! How about a decent Gyro? Very few up here also.

I can remember going to the Parthenon and Dianna's House of Opa! on Halstead Ave when I lived in Chicago.

A bottle of Uzo, a bottle of Red Wine, fried smelt and cucumber sauce, Gyro's, anchovies and a nice Greek salad.

Now that was eating!

Portillo's and Al's both have excellent beef. Fluky's for dogs and Polish. Pizza? Gino's East, Lou Malnati's, Gigio's, the list goes on and on. . . .

Portillo's has the best Italian beefs, bar none.

I used to dance with the young Portillo at the local VFW back in the olden days when all he had was a battered hot dog trailer perched in a Villa Park parking lot. Now he's a millionaire many times over.

Some of his newer jernts in the 'burbs now serve ribs, and they are GOOD!

CHEESEHEAD ALERT! (you had to mention smelt) All kidding aside, the only gyro's I've ever had were the fast food kind shaved off the gyro rotating machine, and I love it, especially with that Greek cheese and cucumber sauce, yummie.
