6" Italian Special Sub from Fontano's
Item Purchased: 6" Italian Special Sub from Fontano's
Location Purchased: Fontano's Subs / 1058 W. Polk St. / Chicago, IL
Price: $3.75 + tax
Review: If you haven't been to Fontano's deli and grocery in Chicago's Taylor St. neighborhood, go now. Drop whatever other lame excuse for a lunch you had planned and make the trek to this old-timey Italian sandwich shop where you will witness the woman behind the deli insult the customers in line who rudely talk on their cell phones. You'll see grown men without a chance flirt with the counter girl. You'll have a chance to see half of the CPD in Little Italy waiting in single file. You'll have the chance to buy a pop by the can or bottle and a nice side of fresh potato salad or cold pasta in a small plastic container. Most of all, you'll get one of the tastiest sub sandwiches on this side of the Wisconsin border.
Fontano's packs their Italian special with proscuttini, capacola and Provolone cheese. After the crusty Italian bread is filled with delicious hog carnage, a bit of pressure and a lot of knowhow and finesse makes room for lettuce, tomato and hot peppers. The final touch is a bit of salt and a lot of oil, which moistens up the bread enough to make it ready to chew. Once you do chew, you'll have a hard time believing that the sandwich you just ingested cost you less than $4.00. Fontano's deliver's quickly made, fresh italian sandwiches with a steady hand, a steady attitude and a steady reputation that has lasted since 1960. I can't think of a better sandwich joint in this city.
