For many years the Gym Shoe was a south side only available in black neighborhoods sandwich, usually in places that sell gyros, hot dogs etc. The Gym Shoe is corned and roast beef, gyro meat, onions and cheese, all hard-griddled dirty and then slapped in a sub roll, then dressed in shredded lettuce, tomato and lashings of mayonnaise, tzatziki sauce and giardiniera.
It is sold now at one West Loop deli, other than that few people outside of the ghetto have ever even heard of it. If you come to Chicago, you really must try it. It is the best sandwich I have ever had. https://www.theruindaily.com/menu/
