I miss this show. I liked just about every place they went to. Mr D’s definitely did not disappoint. It’s no wonder it’s the most commented segment on UA-cam I’ve seen. I tried them earlier this year and it is the best steak sandwich I’ve ever had. Since it’s only the husband and wife and maybe a couple other workers making your food it can’t be messed up. The steak is simple. Not too many seasonings. Those fries are da bomb. I know they have other items on the menu but everyone comes for the steak.
This Greek couple served steak sandwich for 40 years. The guy is happier than a pig in mud. He is proud of his work, loves it, believes in it, cares for it. He loves his wife is the first thing he says. To me, he is richer than these so called insatiable greedy rich people who don't earn their money honestly. It's never enough for them.
Ditto. A great team. Greek joints always rule. Here in the South, the Greek places are always the most consistent, best food, service and prices. And Chicago in a wonderful town. The hospitality here in the South is hit and miss. I've never had anything but a great time in Chi-town - nice, friendly people. Must be that mid-west influence.
Couldnt agree more,here in Australia places like these are dwindling and are getting replaced by 'tosser' restaurants with crappy food that have no love...quite sad really
Somebody please explain to me why the Greeks always run the best places to eat anywhere, doesn’t matter what food they are cooking, it’s always the best place in town to eat at! Master soul food cooks!
That's true. Never noticed that until you brought it up. We have a little bar and grill here with great Mediterranean food and regular bar food that is Greek owned
The end is hilarious. "Let's eat." "I'm in, man." "Bears.", "Bears". (chomp) I would totally go to this place if I lived in Chicago. If I keep watching more of these Chicago Best vids, I'm going to have to move there.
best sandwiches u will ever half in a small not not complicated menu right across the alley from me been going there since i was a little kid and will do so for the rest of my life
Or.... worries about stealing, overgenerous portions, language barriers or questionable hygiene practices of workers who don't care bec they're not eating the food.
Walter nailed the secret to successful food joints....you are happy when you leave.....you can have the most expensive place in the world....the most expensive food....but if you don't feel good about eating there....forget it.
I'd rather eat this kind of food than offerings in uppity downtown places costing $85 per person. Came from a humble European background that did not trust strangers cooking their food, paying ridiculous amounts for it, or care for any of the snobby elitists (or wannabes) who patronize those restaurants.
I have been eating Mikes food since I was a kid in the neighborhood. Grew up 3 blocks from there on Nashville. It was and in my memory the greatest place to grow up. Mike's food, gene and judes, armands on grand Avenue. I love it there and always will.
This place is FIRE🔥 I recommend a steak with grilled onions and mayo. Perfection 💯 and the fries are always on point. Love this place. Shout out to mikey and Anne.
omg yes!!!!!!!! i had a flat tite one day and while the guy 75 feet away was fixing it, i stumbeled upon this place!!!!! so good!!!!! i live by diversy and austin 3 blocks away and never new it was there until last year. its great.
angie that's how i discovered it too on accident!!! i was right by the brickyard and saw the line outside, i've been a fan ever since! since you're by diversey and austin that supermarket across from the church has the most unbelievable tacos in their cafe towards the back. another hidden treasure in the neighborhood!
the juice is what makes it even better and you wil find it in any souvlaki place in Greece its the juice that accumulates after the souvlaki are off the grill and they put lemon and oregano its to die for and you cant make it at home you have to grill souvlaki every day...bravo re paidia eki sto Chicago you makes us proud!💙
Not just Greeks but this family makes Chicagoans proud! I've been going here for 15 years and both my brother and dad for 25+. Some of the simplest but best food in the city.
Amen to that Greek that cooks. I live in Laporte, In.and we have 3 restaurants owned and operated by Greeks, never leave less than full always excellent eats,always.
Been going to Mikes place since grammer school . He never even bought new tables. Great place, great people, great food. Also if you ever go here notice how his son is a carbon copy of his father.
Simply the best Shish Kabob you will ever eat. I ask for it juicy and squeeze some lemon over it. The bread is soaked with the flavor of the meat and marinade juices. It come with plenty of fresh cut fries too. Delicious, and you can't beat the price! Enjoy. Opa! Thanks Mike and Ann, you are awesome.
Go Packers! But I have to admit that I love Chicago. This native sconnie has been to Burt's Place in Morton Grove, The Weiners Circle on N. Clark, and I have an autographed copy of the Berghoff cookbook. Thanks, chitown! Best rivalry in football. Keep bringing your Illinois tourist dollars this way! We have the brats on the grill for ya!
Whenever I fly into or just before I fly out of O'Hare, it's a toss-up between Mr. D's, Paradise Pup or da Superdawg........... Been to each dozens of times and always, always, always go back! D's!
Great family & awesome food. Literally the one place I crave time and time again. Their steak sandwich is the best I've ever had, but so are their fries probably. My dad and brother have been going for almost 30 years and it has stayed consistently amazing ever since. Everytime I go I get 2 steak sandwiches with grilled onions. The guy in the video who said this is living it large -- COULDN'T HAVE FUCKING SAID IT BETTER!!!
Great video. As my Italian Grandmother would say, “Oregano...ehck, it’s for the Greeks.” But they had me RIGHT UP TO the oregano. I was waiting for the defibrillator to come out for Walter.
Food looks amazing but lets be honest, we all have that "local" spot in our town that we feel is the best of the best,.. for me here in the Tampa Fl area, it's Marians Subs, they been making ONE sandwich for over 50 years and still have a line out the door on most days, places like these are staples of communities and they are AMERICA at it's core.
@@matthewtoddsr.6743 That's the life though. Why would anyone hate? Cooking is tedious, takes so much time and energy. All he has to do is show up at dinner after a game of pool or drinking beers with his buddies and come home to home cooked meals.

Well said
Ultradude as long as you got Food, Beer, Family & frienss ahhhh 😊🍻😊🍔🍝
This is really living it large in my book....well said !
Interviewer: So you're advocating overeating?
Walter: I'm advocating eating later!
Well said.
his shape suggests otherwise
@beepIL no u
I love that couple. The greek owners are a gem.
I was going there in 86 when I was a kid - never thought I’d see them on here
I'm a few blocks away on Belmont, and I grew up eating Mr. D's. the cheese burger is also great.
those fries are so long, they go on for days! That steak makes my mouth drool

Its not beef ;)
I think it’s because Greeks are passionate about food and they love company😉
Because they are spartans
Cause Greece peaked like 2500 years ago, nothing else to do

Thanks for the likes, folks :)
Hahaha me too.
Me too
Same here haha
@@mahirhussam5479 What's wrong with you?
Lived on the southeast corner of Diversey and Rutherford for 15 years growing up. Nobody makes a better kabob than Mike. Fries are awesome too.
Yeah those fries look pretty freaking awsoooommmeee!!!

Bring back Chicago’s Best. Because of the show. I have tried over 20 restaurants in the city and suburbs.
Now THAT'S the way! Do ONE thing, do it better than anyone else, and do it RIGHT! A winning strategy! Anyone else got the munchies after seeing this?
How to cut labor cost hired no one lol
Laborers destroy the business, they don't have the passion and love the same as the owners have
@@jeremyherbuela884 especially unions
@@TriangleSquare52 No union workers are more effective and generally happier at their jobs.

@@footmanjohnson5529 i respect your dedication to feet
You REALLY have to get along with your spouse to both live and work together. Not easy, few couples can withstand the constant togetherness.
Inused to work across the street. I went there at least twice per week. The food is amazing.

great steak sandwich, simple menu and the place is ALWAYS packed!!!! i've only been eating there for about 13 years, wish i discovered it sooner!

Sometimes the best things in life are kept simple. Looks fantastic😉
*Ive been here many times. I can vouch that in 2019 this place still makes great food!*
chickennsalad nomustard Enjoy my friend!
That is the best sandwich I have seen, properly cooked meat, fresh toms and onions - wow
Amen to that Greek that cooks. I live in Laporte, In.and we have 3 restaurants owned and operated by Greeks, never leave less than full always excellent eats,always.
My grandparents lived on this block for as long as I can remember and every time I visit I gotta stop in for a steak sandwich, best I’ve ever had.
This is a guy that all he makes, he makes it with love! I think thats the hidden recipe
“ I’m advocating eating later” classic 😊
Been going to Mikes place since grammer school . He never even bought new tables. Great place, great people, great food. Also if you ever go here notice how his son is a carbon copy of his father.
I think the secret is how simple the sandwich is. The main ingredient, which is the meat, constitutes the bulk of the sandwich with minimal add-ons.
That sandwich looks delicious. I want to visit Chicago.
Man I love this place miss it so much
Co-worker bought me one for lunch one time. Really good.
Sagapo me too. Great couple husband and wife. Respect for both

GOOD GOOGLEY THAT IS THE BEST LOOKING STEAK SANDWICH I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!
I'm a Grady Wilson fan too! A goofy guy with pretzel logic, who distrusted Ralo more than Fred did.
I work in the area of Mr. D's and yes.....best steak sandwich ever! I recommend to anyone and everyone to try this place.
Best food and that steak is the best and it’s truly Chicago favorites of all time !!!!!
hope this place didn't shut down due to covid...
was just thinking that
Sums it up' Happy When You Leave😁 I'll pay for that.
Chicago is the city of nice food and the sandwich seems yummyyy.....
Mr. D is The GoAT! Him and his flying Cadi!
You mean the black one always parked next to the building
Chicago IS the best city for food in the whole country hands down, this coming from a Florida boy who spent 30 years as a otr trucker no lie
John Timmins truckers with 53ft trailers are limited so truck stop food please elaborate
So delicious I love this place
LOVELY BEAUTIFUL SANDWICH THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜
Great video. As my Italian Grandmother would say, “Oregano...ehck, it’s for the Greeks.” But they had me RIGHT UP TO the oregano. I was waiting for the defibrillator to come out for Walter.
Love Greek women. He looks very happy - and why not? She very nice looking and a great partner.
My kind of place.
Food looks good. If i lived in Chicago i would get it. I like the fact they use the fire grill
THIS LOOKS AWSOME!!!!
Great woman
Walter sounds like Gabe Newell.
Looks perfect 👌
Miss this dude.
I love this place ❤
My girl and I are planning a trip to Chicago solely around this steak sandwich 😊
That guy knows how to cook a steak, he dos it the proper good old fashioned way, best of luck to him.
fresh ingredients, well seasoned, with small menu = good food
Coming from Philly home of the cheesesteak, that is a great (if different) looking steak sandwich. I would love to try one.
Jimmy Pats or Gino's
I love this place. Incredible steak sandwich.
His italian beef is great as well
Hấp dẫn ! ❤❤❤❤

"Walters over there salivating 😂

Salute to Walter...you should feature more viewers like that...
i got the munchies right now.

Looks great
cool vid...shared to the Groceryman PT Page on FB
Walter is a very cool guy! I like his philosophy.
It's the Greek oregano.
Salivating so much I almost drowned in my own saliva..
