When The Italian Beef Hits Just Right
Sometimes eating a big ol' sopping wet Chicago Italian Beef sandwich can have seriously adverse consequences as one box truck driver found out after his rig exploded on the suburb of Addison, Illinois. I'm kidding, obviously, and luckily there were no serious injuries, but that doesn't change the fact that a truck exploded in a nearly comical way and damaged a handful of houses. The Penske box truck popped, leaving a field of debris for over a block. The explosion also damaged four houses — leaving one temporarily uninhabitable because of the damage, according to CBS News. Apparently, one of the truck's walls hit a load-bearing wall of a nearby house, and it pushed it two to four feet inward. That is a gnarly blast (though not the gnarliest this year). The family was in the house at the time of the explosion, but they were unharmed. Somehow, the driver only sustained minor injuries, and I cannot for the life of me understand how that happened. He was actually walking around the truck when first responders arrived at the bizarre scene, before being taken to the hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Ring camera footage taken from a nearby home shows the truck driving down the road without incident and then... BANG. Police tell CBS news that the DuPage County Bomb Squad and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives determined that the explosion was caused by a leaking propane tank in the cargo area of the truck. Penske released the following statement to CBS News: "The vehicle involved in this incident was rented out to a customer who was moving household personal belongings. Penske will cooperate fully with any further investigation by law enforcement. Under Penske's rental agreement, explosive, flammable or otherwise hazardous materials should not be transported in a consumer rental moving truck." One homeowner in the area told ABC 7 Chicago that he thought people had started setting off Memorial Day fireworks a bit early, saying that "one sure seems to have a little extra punch." Yeah, man. I'd say so. Let this be a warning to all of you: make sure to take some Peptobismal before you have a sloppy Italian Beef. Want more like this?

Portillo's honors new pope with ‘The Leo' Italian Beef sandwich
(WGN) — A beloved Chicago fast-food chain is honoring the new pope with a Chicago staple. Portillo's introduced on social media Friday 'The Leo' Italian Beef sandwich. 'In the name of the gravy, the bun, and hot giard – we introduce The Leo: divinely seasoned Italian Beef, baptized in gravy,' the restaurant's post reads. Portillo's says this 'heavenly' creation is available for the month of May, which is also Italian Beef Month. On Thursday, Robert Francis Prevost, born in Chicago and raised in South Holland, was selected as the 267th pope. He will be known as Pope Leo XIV and becomes the first pope from the United States in the 2,000-year history of the Catholic Church. Since the announcement of the new pope, the internet has gone completely insane with memes of Pope Leo doing 'Chicago-like things.'

Chicago restaurant chain names sandwich after Pope Leo
CHICAGO, Il. (WSAV) — The accolades for Pope Leo XIV are pouring in. One Chicago restaurant has named a sandwich after him. The sandwich chain Portillo's introduced the new sandwich this week. 'The Leo' is Italian beef on a roll dipped in gravy and topped with sweet or hot peppers. Bruce Lemasurier, a manager at Portillo's, says the new menu item is designed to pay homage to the Chicago-area native. 'I think like the rest of Chicago, we were just thrilled and proud that someone from our great city was elevated to this wonderful position and we just wanted to pay homage to that and celebrate with the rest of Chicago. It's our beef sandwich, again the beef roasted four hours, we use this wonderful spice gravy taht we have so its double dipped so we're kind of baptizing it twice in there so that's kind of where we went with the Leo in that again in homage to the Pope. Again, it's in his honor, we're just being Chicagoans just thrilled to have this and what a thrill that our city can be involved in this, so again just something that we can celebrate with the rest of the world, our little homage from Portillo's and Chicago.' If you want to try The Leo, you need to hurry. It's only on Portillo's menu through the month of May. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
