One Great Sandwich: Bari Food's Italian Sub

6122009_chicagoist_sub.jpg
Oh, Italian sub, you are quite possibly one of the most craved food in existence. It sometimes pains us at how hard you have to search in Chicago to find an Italian sub truly worthy of an entire day’s caloric intake. (On the other hand, maybe that’s a good thing.) A little place in West Town is a favorite among many; Bari Foods makes one of the best. For less than five dollars you get a nine inch Italian sub filled with capicolla, genoa salami, mortadella, provalone, giardinera, shredded lettuce, tomato, and onions on rich, crusty bread. Did we mention it was less than five dollars? It's less than five dollars. The small grocery gets packed during lunch hours so call ahead or just browse through the selection of olive oils, pasta and ice cream while you wait.

Bari Foods is located at 1120 W. Grand Ave and opens everyday at 8am. 312.666.0730.

Damn,
I want that now.

one of my go-tos for lunch.

Now I am sad that I skipped lunch today

dont sleep on the meatball sub either.

It's a good sandwich and inexpensive too but I always find that the bread crust to be really hard. My solution is to keep it in the wrapper and crunch the bread breaking it up a bit before consuming.

I like the crusty bread, to me that's one of the better things about the sandwich. Also if I really feel like splurging I'll have them add prosciutto to the sandwich, so good.

The prosciutto and fresh mozzarella is another excellent sandwich that they have.
