His family is Italian and he’s from Chicago. Now he’s brought his homemade Chicago-style Italian beef sandwich family recipe to Metro Detroit. We tried the food at Matt & Mo’s Italian Beef in Hazel Park to see if it’s as good as a place we crave when we go to Chicago, Portillo’s.

The food stand is located inside Doug’s Delight Ice Cream Shop at 24110 John R. Road. Owners Matt and Mo Marzullo said they wanted to bring the family recipe to Metro Detroit because there are not very many places you can find authentic Chicago-Style Italian beef in the area.
