Italian Beef & Gravy – 3.5 lbs.

Italian Beef Sandwiches are as synonymous with Chicago as any food can be and for as long as they’ve been a part of the Windy City, the Buona family’s been a part of making them. Buona, The Official Italian Beef of Chicago Sports, starts with lean all-natural choice sirloin which is seasoned with Italian spices, seared at high heat then slow roasted for hours to produce their famous gravy.

The first Buona Italian Beef restaurant opened in 1981, but the Buona family has been a part of Chicago’s iconic Italian Beef sandwich business since the early 1900’s. Established by Joe Buonavolanto, Buona is the last family-owned Italian beef restaurant in the Windy City. The family’s original Italian beef recipe has not changed for three generations. Buona beef is the Official Italian Beef of the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox, and Buona’s Italian beef sandwiches are sold at Chicago Bears games.
