Cow + Sheep + Pig = Ćevapčići
They call it the ćevapčići- a traditional Balkan sandwich, that consists of several types of grilled minced meat and spices. Popular street-food in Eastern Europe, this flavorful little number has also made quite a name for itself as summer festival street-food here in Chicago.

Tuesday, June 9, 2009
Yes, there’s a hot dog under there. Folks, this is a Chicago Dog: boiled all-beef (most favorably, Vienna brand) served atop a poppy-seed bun, with (ready?) yellow mustard, chopped raw white onion, “Nuclear” green sweet-relish, a dill pickle spear (mine’s hidden in the photo), chopped or sliced tomato, hot peppers, and celery salt.

Thursday, April 9, 2009
We don’t like to discriminate here at Unbreaded, so when a sandwich chain is good, we’ll say so. Chicago-founded (and since expanded) Potbelly Sandwich Works makes the cut.
