"No, we’re not claiming to have better Italian Beef than they do in Chicago. We know we don’t, just like they know we have the better pizza. But for the best NYC has to offer, head to Bobbi’s, a casual spot in Cobble Hill where you can sit in a pizza parlor-style booth and experience bread melting in your mouth under the weight of hot, wet, glistening beef. Your week probably can’t get much better than that, unless you go for the Cheesy Beef, which has the same bread and beef, but also hot, thick, melty cheese. The Order: Italian Beef if you appreciate tradition, Cheesy Beef if you’re willing to put it all on the line in the name of a life-altering sandwich. You’re probably also curious about the Chicago Dog. Order it." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, bryan kim, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
