The Italian Beef Sandwich

Regular

That's how we do it for most of our guests. Just enough beef gravy (the "juice") is added to make it nice and juicy, but not over the top.

Wet

Additional gravy is added to the sandwich, the juicier the better.

Dipped

The crown jewel of juicy, the entire sandwich is submerged into the gravy. Roll up your sleeves and get ready to eat! You'll need the "Italian Stance" for this one.

Dry

No extra gravy goodness but still delicious. You might want to re-think this option though. Our beef gravy is the gold. Go ahead and be a little adventurous and crazy; get it a little wet. You'll love it.
