Lucky in Chicago

This past weekend, I was visiting my awesome best friend in Chicago, IL. Along with great sights to see, we also had some great food.

While most of the time it was her and her boyfriend leading the way, I discovered this place. Actually I would have to thank Travel Channel's "Man vs. Food" for finding out about this place: Lucky's Sandwich Company.

Lucky's is Chicago's home of the overstuffed sandwich. And boy, was it overstuffed and soo good. Their sandwiches are stuffed with your choice of meat, cheese, fresh cut french fries, coleslaw, and tomatoes between two slices of thick-cut French Bread. The combination was perfection. Though Im not a fan of coleslaw, in that sandwich, it all made perfect sense.

I ordered Turkey Breast with Cheese. My friends ordered different sandwiches, some added bacon along with their desired meats. I wasnt sure how to eat it at first; It was just that huge. But we all agreed it was delicious. They said that the addition of bacon made it even better. The only downfall of this sandwich was its crust. The crust was a little too hard and tough to eat but you cant deny the fact that bread has crust.
Sad that, I was only able to finish half of it. Oh well, that half was eaten the next morning for breakfast.

And I certainly dont think I could finish 3 full sandwiches in one hour which is Lucky's Food Challenge (hence the place was featured on Man vs. Food)
