You didn’t think we’d open Time Out Market Chicago without an Italian beef, did you? The iconic delicacy is a deliciously messy rite of passage for locals and out-of-towners alike. At Decent Beef, chef Kevin Hickey (The Duck Inn) elevates the handheld classic with juicy shaved prime rib, a rich beef jus, hot giardiniera and sweet peppers—all tucked inside a crusty roll. Pro tip: Vegans and vegetarians will love Hickey’s ingenious Beet Street sammie, which subs meat for delicately sliced roasted beets and umami jus. Save yourself the return trip and grab some napkins now.
