There are two food items I really miss from Chicago environs. First is the Italian beef sandwiches au jus with cooked sweet peppers and hot chilies served on a hoagy bun at Portillo’s, and 2nd is thinly sliced corned beef piled high on rye bread in any good Jewish deli. I have not found any thing comparable and delicious west of Mississippi.

That reminds me of how much I miss the Philly Jewish deli sandwich called a "Corned Beef Special", which is "thinly sliced (shaved) corned beef piled high on rye bread" with cole slaw right in the sandwich, as well as Russian dressing (the kind that's sort of like "Thousand Island" dressing) also right on the sandwich.
Nothing like that where we live now.

I have yet to find a decent Italian beef sandwich in Los Angeles.
Canter's and Langer's both have really really good pastrami on rye sandwiches and pretty damned good brisket sandwiches as well.
Langer's also has the best corned beef I've ever tasted. They also have great rye bread which you can buy by the loaf to take home.
I've also managed to find a decent Philly cheese steak in LA. (Philly West on Westwood near Santa Monica Blvd).
I'm sure the purists will find something wrong with each of my faves, but these sandwiches are so much better than everything else around, and so good in-and-of themselves that I have to believe they are great approximations to the "real thing".
