What the creator captured

Mark Wiens visited the iconic Ricobene's in Chicago to tackle their legendary king-sized breaded steak sandwich, which he described as a monstrous and delicious mess. He was particularly impressed by the scale of the skirt steak, comparing its size to a face towel before it was submerged in marinara and loaded with mozzarella and giardiniera. Mark concluded that the sandwich completely levels up the concept of a meatball sub, noting that the experience is so intense it is almost risky to eat with your eyes open.
