Buona Beef opened THE BEEF STAND at 1750 W. Division St. in Chicago in September, offering an old-school way to experience one of the most traditional food rituals in Chicago: walk up, order an Italian beef and enjoy. While the pop-up is new, its inspiration goes back generations. Before Joe and Peggy Buonavolanto opened the first Buona restaurant in Berwyn in 1981, Joe’s brother Carl “Uncle Junior” Buonavolanto and his brother-in-law Tony Ozzauto opened Chicago’s well-known beef stand, Mr. Beef. Operating out of a walk-up window at the Original Rainbow Cone Shop, THE BEEF STAND will remain open through the fall based on demand, with plans to come back next year. (thebeefstand.com)
