In the 80 years since its original\u00a0location was founded in Chicago’s\u00a0Little Italy neighborhood, Al’s Beef has expanded into a city-wide institution. Serving up now-iconic Italian beef sandwiches wet, dry, and hot from day one, this local favorite has become practically synonymous with our city’s food. And we couldn’t be more grateful.<\/p>\n

That’s why, in honor of the chain’s 80th birthday on October 18th, the Chicago City Council has officially declared tomorrow “Al’s Beef Day.” From 11 am to 7 pm on Thursday, all participating Chicagoland Al’s locations will be selling regular-sized beefs for just 80 cents a pop!<\/p>\n

So whether you’re in the mood to celebrate, or just in the mood for a good lunch, swing by on October 18th for a taste of a true Chicago legend on the cheap.<\/p>\n
