I have found my new number-one favorite sandwich in all of Illinois. This eighth wonder of the world is located in a small sub-shop in Elk Grove Village. The name of this restaurant is Rammy’s Subcontractors.
If my loyal readers remember, I have been in pursuit of the best sub sandwich for quite some time. A friend of mine told me about this place and said I absolutely needed to check it out because I would be blown away.
The one piece of advice my friend gave me was to get there early, as this place gets very busy. In my eyes, this is a good indicator that this is definitely the place to get good food if it’s always busy.

I arrived at 11 AM on a Monday with full intentions of getting a typical Italian sub. However, that changed when I looked at the sandwich board and noticed a sandwich called Rammy’s Radical Italian Beef. The sandwich consisted of Italian beef with pesto, garlic spread, and provolone. I spoke with the extremely friendly owner’s sister, Kathy, who suggested that I add chipotle mayo and hot giardiniera to the sandwich.
I always take the recommendations of the workers or the owners because I believe they know best. You have the option to choose what type of bread you want, and of course, I went with the Italian bread. When Italian bread is toasted, it is always the best.
