You can get an Italian Beef outside of Chicago, but it's a niche market.
There are a couple of places in Minneapolis, for instance, but I have not
tried either of them yet. The one place makes proper Chicago-style pizza
AND proper Chicago-style hot dogs AND proper cheese fries, so they're
likely to also make a proper IB sandwich.
My co-worker the Philadelphia native says that you can't get a "real"
Philly cheesesteak outside of the Philly environs.
