Chicago Cheese Steak Co.

The place is tiny, the menu is limited, and there's no place to sit. Yet is there any place we'd rather be? Sandwiched (ha) between Merle's Hot Dogs and the Mudlounge is Chicago Cheese Steak Co., the wee purveyor of all things greasy, salty and oh so delicious. They do burgers and dogs too, but the cheese steaks, simple and satisfying, are what you come for. Philadelphia is a more obvious choice for their namesake, but no one does cheap beef quite the way Chicago does. The lunch specials are pretty impressive (wicked cheap and changing daily) as are the hours: on Fridays and Saturdays they're open until 2 a.m. Not a detail lost on those stumbling out of the Mudlounge after one too many heifeweizens.
