Chicago Italian beef in Covington LA is one of the most authentic off-menu experiences at Bruiser's "The Hot Dog Place." Thinly sliced roast beef is served with mild giardiniera and a side of au jus for dipping, with mozzarella available as an add-on (add $0.75) and spicy giardiniera available for those who want heat (add $0.75).

The Italian beef sandwich is a Chicago institution — as much a part of the city's food identity as the hot dog itself. At Bruiser's, it's made with the same care and Chicago-rooted conviction as everything else on the menu. The au jus dip is non-negotiable. If you order it, dip the whole sandwich.

The giardiniera is house quality and the right complement to the rich, tender beef. This is the order for Chicago transplants on the Northshore who have been looking for a proper Italian beef since they moved here.
