Submariners and Sandwich shops

The Bridgeport-area home of the breaded steak: a huge fried cutlet in red gravy on Turano French bread, in regular or king size. Open late.

Calls itself the Home of the Jibarito: the North Center spot tied to the sandwich's invention. Also makes a sweet-plantain version, the jibarita.

The original Little Italy stand of the family that claims to have invented the Italian beef. Order it dipped, with hot giardiniera.

West Town deli and market from the family behind Nduja Artisans, stacking inventive, heavily-built Italian sandwiches.

Dedicated Rolex boutique on the Magnificent Mile in the Warwick Allerton building, carrying the full new Rolex lineup including the Submariner.

Family-owned Official Rolex Retailer on the Gold Coast, selling new and Rolex Certified Pre-Owned Submariners, with an on-site Rolex-plaque service workshop.

24-hour West Side walk-up window carrying on the old Maxwell Street market-stand style: Polish with griddled onions, mustard and fries, often with a pork chop sandwich.

Quirky basement hot dog shop in Lakeview with walls covered in customers' drawings. The Mr. Big is its Polish, piled with grilled onions.

Tiny old-school Bridgeport stand a short walk from the Sox ballpark and a classic pregame stop. Polish with a heap of fresh-cut fries.

Family-run North Side hot dog spot with the giant fork-speared hot dog sign. Its char-grilled Vienna Polish shows up on critics' lists.

Busy, music-filled Hermosa restaurant and bar with a big Puerto Rican menu. The jibarito is stacked with skirt steak; cheese costs extra.

Small, long-running BYOB spot in Humboldt Park famous for rotisserie chicken, which also goes shredded into a well-regarded jibarito.
