This is a good sandwich. This is a must-have sandwich. Delicious beef, very nicely seasoned.

They've got Italian sausages, they've got burgers, they've got Polish sausages and hot dogs; however, the thing to get here, what everyone says, is the Italian beef.

This was the highlight of my trip, and that's saying a lot because I had a great weekend.
