Chicago Gyros & Deli 2006-11-22 13:11:00 - By: Dan
If you head North up Glenstone past Commercial, just after you pass under the railroad bridge on the east (right) side of the road is Chicago Gyros & Deli. It is in what used to be a burger drive through, and it looks pretty rough on the outside, but they make great tasting, greasy Gyros. Five bucks gets you one of these babies, and they are packed with tender lamb, big chunks of tomato, thinly sliced onion, with tasty Tzatziki sauce all wrapped in a pita to soak up all the goodness. For 2 bucks more you get a heaping handful of seasoned fries and a drink. It ain't the healthiest meal, but it is really good... and the girl that works there is cute too. If you haven't tried it, consider this my official recommendation. They also have other dishes to go that sound good, but I haven't tried any of them yet. However, I have heard from a couple reliable sources that their Bacon Double Cheese Burger is awesome.

Sounds good (the Gyro, of course, not the girl). I've always wanted to try it, but never remember that it's there.
Italian Beef is the way to go By: Ole (SGFsoccer.com) On: 2006-11-25 22:07:40.041018
Dan, this is a regular stop of mine so I can feed my need for Italian Beef. Think french dip but spiced up. When topped with giaradina relish (hot peppers) it's a great sandwich. Chicago has a place this on every other corner and I always enjoyed checking out a new place. Springfield's offering is a wonderful addition!

I wondered what Italian Beef is. I am definitely going to try that. I will give you a call this week Duane and we can meet up and go there for lunch if you want.
