Hot beef. Your house.
Any game you want.
Seventeen Sundays. Eighty-two on the West Side. A hundred and sixty-two ballgames. Somebody hosts every one of them — and the house that puts out real Italian beef stops having to ask twice.
Bears Sunday
Football. Seventeen home dates, seventeen crowds in your front room, and chips are not a meal.
Bulls Night
Basketball. Tip-off at seven, twelve people on the sectional, nobody arguing about pizza again.
Hawks Night
Hockey. Beef in the pan, three periods to go, and nobody leaves for a pizza run.
Cubs & Sox Day Game
Baseball. First pitch at 1:20, half the block is already in the yard and the cooler is full.
Twenty minutes before kickoff you open a box,
and your house smells like Taylor Street.
The beef goes in the pan with its own gravy. The bread gets split. The giardiniera comes out of the jar. That is the whole job and it takes one person ten minutes. Then everybody builds their own, standing up, over the counter, arguing about the play — hot beef, wet bread, peppers, juice running down the wrist. For the price of two large deliveries you become the house that does Italian beef, and after the second time you do it people stop asking where the game is.

We roast and pack
Seasoned, slow-roasted, cooled overnight, sliced paper thin, packed fresh with the gravy we harvested off the roast.
We ship it cold
From our South Elgin kitchen to your door. Continental U.S. Fully cooked. Heating instructions in the box.
Packed fresh. Shipped cold. Ready to heat.
This is what
shows up.
Slow-roasted overnight, sliced paper thin, and drowned in gravy we harvest off the roast itself. Fifty-two years making one thing, and this is what fifty-two years looks like.
Everything.
Nothing extra.
Fifty-two years of doing exactly one thing well. We season and slow-roast the beef, cool it overnight, then slice it paper thin. We harvest the natural drippings off the roast and cut them with our signature spice blend for the gravy. Gonnella bread, because it’s the only crust that holds up. Bari hot giardiniera, built for our flavor profile, not somebody else’s.
Fully cooked. Heating guide in the box. Warm the beef in the gravy, split the bread, pile it high. Wet, dry, hot, or sweet — you already know how you take it.

Sam G.Owner — Best Subs“The rich, flavorful gravy, the melt-in-your-mouth beef, and their perfectly crunchy giardiniera create an unbeatable sandwich. It’s no wonder Chicago is the home of Italian beef.”
Randall M.Jackson Market FoodsChicago’s original

A trusted supplier to Chicago restaurants for over 30 years, now shipping nationwide so you can taste Chicago wherever you are.
Sausage Kings
Seasoned Italian sausage, melted mozzarella, and spicy giardiniera hand-rolled in a crispy golden roll. Bold Chicago flavor you can grab with one hand — made fresh by the family that’s been perfecting it since 1973.
Straight answers.
Does Bari Beef ship nationwide?
Yes. Packs ship across the continental U.S., cold-packed from our South Elgin kitchen. Give the box a few days in transit if you are aiming at a specific game.
Is the beef fully cooked?
Yes. Warm it in the gravy, split the bread, spoon on the giardiniera. If you can boil water you’re overqualified.
What comes in the Family Pack?
3 lbs thinly sliced Italian beef, a half-gallon of Italian-style gravy, four 12-inch Gonnella loaves, and a pint of Bari hot giardiniera.
What if my headcount is between sizes?
Round up. Cold Italian beef reheats beautifully and leftovers have never once been the problem at a party. Dinner for two is the Meal Kit.
Can I visit the factory store?
Yes. 710 Schneider Dr, South Elgin, IL. Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 3:00 pm.
Do you sell wholesale?
Yes. Restaurants, delis, and catering operations in bulk. Call 847-695-7555 or use the contact page for volume pricing.
Is this the same beef you’ve always made?
Same roast, same spice blend, same slicer, same family. Since 1973. The only thing that changed is that now it comes in a box with everything else you need.
You host.
We’ll handle the beef.
