Al’s claims to be the creator of the Italian beef sandwich. Texans might not be familiar with this Chicago staple, a thinly sliced beef sandwich on a hoagie traditionally submerged in “gravy” (au jus) and can make for a messy meal. Al’s is among the best, if you ask Travel Channel’s Adam Richman, who included it in a best sandwiches in America list. The company has a famous face endorsing its product: former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka, who is helping with the chain's nationwide expansion. — Sarah Blaskovich
