Lucky's Sandwich Co.

When the BF first told me about this place, I was a little skeptical. I mean come on - a place that serves huge sandwiches with lunch meat, fries, and cole slaw?! It sounds pretty crazy. Nevertheless, we headed up to Lucky's in Wrigleyville one Saturday afternoon. 


All the sandwiches on the menu are the same price ($7.50) and come on thick cut white bread, seasoned french fries, tomatoes, and cole slaw. Yeah...these sandwiches aren't meant to be part of a healthy diet. 


After some deliberation I chose the corned beef sandwich. Even though the place was really crowded and they only have one server, the food came out surprisingly quickly. These sandwiches are so huge its hard to get everything in one bite. Buuuuut this was seriously 


the 
most 
delicious
sandwich


I ever ate! And this is coming from a person who usually will never eat cole slaw! The meat is perfectly tender and thinly sliced and the french fries are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside -- exactly like a fry should be! I'm surprised to even be saying this but I think that the cole slaw really makes this sandwich. It really sounds crazy but the crunchiness and tangy-ness of the cole slaw goes perfectly with the fries. 

These sandwiches are so gigantic that its difficult to eat the whole thing at once, but if you are really brave you can enter the eating challenge. If you can eat three of these sandwiches within a half hour, they are free! (If you can eat all three in one hour, then one of them is free) 


Lucky's is so good I've actually gone back two times since I first went there and have been happy every time! I do have to say - my favorite is still the corned beef though!
