I spent an entire summer slinging Italian Beef sandwiches (peppers and egg on Fridays) at a tiny place called Carm’s Beef (in Berwyn).

I havent been back to the area in a long time but was shocked to learn that Berwyn is now kind of cool. Apparently the folks who couldnt afford Oak Park realized that Berwyn was filled with craftsman bungalows that had gorgeous hardwood floors, built-ins, etc. If you’d told me that as a teenager I wouldnt have believed it.

Seattle, I’ll have to check out Lefty’s. I dont eat beef, but am always looking for good pizza. My favorite pizza in San Diego remains Bronx Pizza in Hillcrest.
