Glad you weren’t silent about your appreciation for Bob-O’s and Jay’s. And happy birthday to you! I hope you get to shove the most delicious cake up your own butthole.
Hi guys - just FYI, I updated the Party Cut Map to include February and March's spots, up to and including both of these beeves. This is my birthday gift to Dannis.
The beef at Al's (at least the original one on Taylor) is much more spiced. That one seems to have clove or cinnamon in it, which makes it super different. But it also has a fresher giardinera, heavy on the celery and red pepper flakes.
My dad grew up down the road from the old Jay's location on Irving, so that's the beef of my childhood. Managed a visit just before they closed it for good.
Love Bob-O's, too--esp for the soggies on the menu.
I love Jays having discovered them when I lived in Bucktown. Agree on the two main points of the thinness of the beef and the jus, oh that jus. Worth the drive for me.

I’m 72 years old and if I’m gonna have a beef sandwich it’s gonna be a combo. Why hold back, you trying to live forever?

Happy birthday, Dannis, and happy birthday to a bigger sausage balanced out with sturdier beef.
Happy Birthday, Dickhole!

I'm entranced by both. Just wish we lived within lunching distance!!!
