What is up with the South Side, man? I run a restaurant where we put polish sausage on top of a hamburger, and I am flummoxed by this.

Also, where can I get a good one?

Tzatziki and mustard??? This is obviously a deeply troubled sandwich.

That looks really good. But the name...

Well, "gym shoe" would be a very Chicago name, wouldn't it?

Stony Subs has the best one. Baba's is probably the worst. That place over on 35th is sort of a middle-of-the-road sandwich

Just a little west of the ballpark. I forget the name of the place as it's been a decade or so since I was there.

There are like 14 sandwich places within a mile west of the park. I'm not going to all of them.
