Hailing from the southside of town, the Jim Shoe (sometimes Gym Shoe) sandwich is one of Chicago’s lesser known delicacies. French bread, many meats, crunchy veggies, tzatziki AND mustard… strange, sure, but it’s actually bomb… trust. Today I’ll show you how you can make this local icon at the crib so even if you live out of town, you can sample some windy city good-good in the comfort of your own home. Go Sox. 🤘🏼 Adam
