Italian Beef Sandwich Kit - 8 Pack
Ships Nationwide in U.S.
Not eligible for shipping to CanadaBuona Italian Beef ships its famous Italian beef nationwide on Goldbelly! Italian Beef Sandwiches are as synonymous with Chicago as any food can be and for as long as they’ve been a part of the Windy City, the Buona family’s been a part of making them. Buona, The Official Italian Beef of Chicago Sports, starts with lean all-natural choice sirloin which is seasoned with Italian spices, seared at high heat then slow roasted for hours to produce their famous gravy.
While the first Buona Italian Beef restaurant opened in 1981, the Buona family has been a part of Chicago’s iconic Italian Beef sandwich business since the early 1900’s. Founded by Joe Buonavolanto, Buona is the last remaining 100% family-owned Italian beef restaurant in Chicago. The family’s original Italian beef recipe has not changed for three generations. Buona is the Official Italian Beef of the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox, and Buona’s Italian beef sandwiches are served at Chicago Bears games.
