Obviously, this endeavor came from watching (and loving) the FX show The Bear. Chicagoan’s, please don’t hate. I admit imitation. I have not been to Chicago yet but can’t wait to make that trip one day soon, after which I am sure this recipe will change for the better. But for now, here it is Veg-N style… A sub sandwich of sliced beets and mushrooms slow simmered in an elixir of Italian red wine and seasonings, topped with hot giardiniera or peppers, dipped in its own jus. Damn.
