Italian Beef and Sausage Popup at Old Irving Brewing - Tues, Aug 25
Hi, I am hosting a popup dinner at Old Irving Brewing Co (4419 W Montrose Ave). One night only - Tues, Aug 25 from 5-9pm. If you're a fan of Italian beef and hand-made sausage (and beer), come on by
Who am I? I've spend a career in the restaurant business and worked in/with fine-dining kitchens and fast food operations, mostly in Chicago. The last seven years I've spend with a brand you all probably know. Now I'm combing the technique of fine dining cuisine with the classic flavors of Italian beef & sausage. Nothing fancy, just slow cooked beef, gravy made from beef stock and the best spices, hand made Italian sausage (including a smoked Italian sausage), house-made giardiniera, cheddar cheese sauce, and "Beeramisu" - Tiramisu made with OIB's Barrel-Aged Stout.
Full menu below. RSVP here - Not required but appreciated
ITALIAN BEEF SANDWICHES
All sandwiches served with crispy garlic fries. Substitute a side salad (+3) or pimento mac & cheese (+4). Add cheese sauce for fries (+1.50)
Sweet Home Chicago – $15
Chicago's iconic Italian beef sandwich. Slow-roasted, thinly sliced beef simmered in a richly spiced gravy and piled on a toasted French roll. Served with a choice of house-made hot giardiniera or roasted sweet peppers.
Double Trouble – $19
Beef and Italian sausage combo sandwich with choice of house-made hot giardiniera or roasted sweet peppers. Substitute a smoked Italian sausage (+2).
How to order your beef: Dry (with a side of gravy) / Juicy (our suggested way — splashed generously with beef gravy) / Dipped (a Chicago baptism — the entire sandwich submerged in the gravy)
ITALIAN SAUSAGE SANDWICHES
Grand Ave Grind – $13
Hand-made Italian sausage, wood-fired and served on a French roll splashed with beef gravy and topped with crispy fried garlic and choice of house-made hot giardiniera or roasted sweet peppers.

Something completely different: a smoked Italian sausage served on a French roll with cheddar cheese sauce and hot giardiniera.
