Went for the first time and enjoyed it. It is really a superior burger if you are in the area. I had a burger with porkbelly, onion strings, Carolina BBQ and pickles. Loved it.

The pickles are remarkable. I think they brine them in a Sirancha solution and the flavor bursts from them. The heat is present but doesn't dominate and really enhances the flavor of the beef.

Fries were OK but stupid me thought I was getting chili cheese fries instead of chili cheese fritos on top of fries.

Thanks, gd. Glad you enjoyed it. We dab the pork belly down in light brown sugar before we finish it on the flat top, gives the smokiness a sweet counterpoint, and crisps it up a little.

My Gordon Tech-educated brother asked me to stop describing the Carolina sauce as "a little more astringent than a Memphis or Texas sauce, per se. (Go Wolfpack!)

You will dig Beefbelly, the new place at Lawrence and Central, when it opens. There will be an homage to the non-Al's Taylor Street-style beef that won't be lost on you.

It's not my place, but I am on that place.

I'm honored that you are honored, rick. Also a little relieved you didn't see the signage before we abbreviated it...

I thought BeefBelly was a little harsh to be honest.

If you could replicated Vittorri's I, and several other people I know, would fellate in the middle of Milwaukee Avenue.

Was Vittorri's still open when you were there or did the bookie, drug addicted sons destroy the family business by that time?

We don't need no fancy talk to describe our sauce. Why can't Jesuits just say what the fuck they mean?

I do in fact remember Vittori's from my salad days when I was green. I don't know what year they closed. I also didn't know any of this:
Quote:
Bartholomew “Bart” Vittori.

Bartholomew “Bart” A. Vittori, 82, of Melrose Park, IL, passed away on Feb. 18.
Mr. Vittori was born in Chicago on Nov. 30, 1930, to Italian immigrant parents, Bart F. and Virginia Vittori. He and his brother Louis grew up on Harrison Street in the Near West Side community. Mr. Vittori graduated from St. Ignatius High School in 1949 and won entrance into the Juilliard School of Music in New York. There he studied violin and piano under Mischa Mischakoff, learned concert master technique under Arturo Toscanini, and became a concert violinist.

After completing his studies at Juilliard, Mr. Vittori came back to Chicago and graduated from DePaul University. During his musical career, Mr. Vittori played with orchestras such as the NBC Orchestra under conductor Joe Galicio and the Lou Breeze Orchestra at the Chicago Theater. Mr. Vittori married Madeline Tolomeo in 1954 and became a music instructor at Rose Cushman Music Academy before opening his own Vittori House of Music School in River Grove, IL.

When his father passed away, Mr. Vittori left his music career to take over the family business, House of Vittori Sandwich Shop on Taylor Street. At Vittori’s Sandwich Shop, customers knew they would be warmly received by Mr. Vittori, and he was known for having engaging conversations with customers from all walks of life.

Bart and Madeline Vittori had been married 59 years. They had four children: Dr. Mark (Annette), Michael (Sheri), Bart (Nina), Dr. Gail (Dr. Dan DeLeon), and 11 grandchildren: Mark, Nicholas, Dominique, Bart, Michelle, Nico, Gianna, Cody, Gabriella, Christina, and Alexandra. Mr. Vittori was laid to rest on Feb. 23.

You go into the place, show the cashier the Groupon that you print off, order, then pay the difference if there is any. Its basically like a gift certificate for X amount of dollars.
