Help us decide who serves up the best onion rings or bloomin' onion in the Oak Lawn area.

It’s time for another Chowdown Showdown, our popular weekly feature that will not only give you great ideas on where to eat, but gives you the chance to rave about your favorite places in town.  The Chowdown Showdown has two components.

Where's the Beef: Who Makes the Best Italian Beef Sandwich?

This week, Patch sought out the best Italian beef in the Evergreen Park, Oak Lawn and Palos area for our ongoing series “Chowdown Showdown.”

Welcome to “Chowdown Showdown,” a weekly feature where we take one type of food and ask readers to nominate their favorite places in Evergreen Park, Oak Lawn and Palos. This week we chowed down on the South Side favorite--the Italian Beef. We tallied the votes on each respective Patch site and Facebook page. Real South Siders know their Italian beef sandwiches, and these three proved worthy competitors. Evergreen Park Patch -  All hail king of the Italian Beef! Pappys was my absolute favorite. We got a few suggestions, including Rosangela's, who was in our Patch Pizza Playoffs, and Souzy's, but this one won the crown. You want a South Sider's Beef? Chow down on Pappys beef, the way South Siders like it: dipped with sweet and hot peppers…
