About this episode
Some classic Chicago foods, from deep-dish to jibaritos to Italian beef to paczki , can be found all over the city — or at least you can find several spots. But there’s one classic sandwich that you can really only find at one spot these days. Morgan Park’s Home of the Hoagy has been serving up sandwiches since 1969, including the sweet steak. The sandwich holds a special place for South Siders. Host Jacoby Cochran takes producer Michelle Navarro to try her first sweet steak and talks about how it was a childhood staple, what makes it “a meal on a bun” and why it's worth the wait.
