Chicago sandwich king debuts new Italian beef collab at Time Out Market
Acclaimed Hulu series The Bear continues to put spotlight on Chicago and its iconic Italian beef sandwich, catapulting our culinary scene to new heights and creating lots of copycats. But Chicagoans know there's nothing better than the real deal — which is why we're thankful for Windy City native Jeff Mauro, and his latest creation for Stefani's Bottega Italiana at Time Out Market Chicago. The new Mauro Beef Sandwich layers slow-roasted, thin-sliced prime beef with hot peppers and tangy giardiniera relish, served with gravy. Find it at Stefani's, which opened at Time Out Market in the West Loop back in February. The Italian icon typically slings Roman-style pizzas, pastas, and schiacciata sandwiches, but we have a feeling this big, beefy number might just outdo its predecessors. Born and raised in Oak Park, chef Jeff Mauro is considered the Sandwich King on Food Network's The Kitchen, and for good reason. For years, Mauro has been on a mission to make the best version of the beloved Chicago-style Italian beef. Only now has he finally achieved his goal with what he calls 'the best Italian beef for purchase,' featuring Turano bread, gravy, and an original recipe for giardiniera. (Pro tip from chef: Don't say the 'a' at the end of giardiniera when you order.) ' It's the greatest beef that you will ever taste,' Mauro told WBBM. 'And I guarantee that. It's USDA choice or prime whole muscle chuck roll. It's not filled with anything, it's like rubbed and roasted old school, sliced paper thin.' The Food Network star's collaboration with Stefani Restaurant Group includes a plan to ship this truly famous beef across the country, giving restaurants along the East Coast a taste of Chicago. Apparently, Mauro's father grew up with Phil Stefani, making this partnership a 'super special' personal and professional experience. And if you're looking for a high-quality beef sandwich outside the immediate area, Mauro recommends looking for high-turnover locales to guarantee fresh ingredients. 'The secret key is you got to wrap that sandwich,' he said. 'Throw it in a greasy paper bag.'

Vitasana brings bold, flavorful probiotic plates to Time Out Market Chicago
Time Out Market Chicago, home to some of the city's best restaurants, welcomes yet another stellar concept from chef Jorge Kauam. This month, the creator of German-American Gutenburg and chocolate pop-up JK Chocolates adds a new outpost of his modern, wellness-focused Vitasana to the healthy options inside Time Out Market. At Vitasana, chef Kauam works alongside nutritionist wife Adriana Freytez, bringing bold and sometimes surprising flavors (like apple-celery tajín) to a holistic menu of what they call 'craveable clean eating.' The duo's nutrient-dense, often probiotic-rich plates include house-made ferments (cabbage slaw, pickled onions) and from-scratch dressings (confit garlic tahini, mango-habanero) that cater to all diets, including vegan, keto, and gluten-free options. 'At Vitasana, we're creating dishes where gut-healthy meets deeply satisfying,' Freytez says. 'We believe eating well shouldn't mean sacrificing taste.' With twists on classics like a truffle Caesar salad loaded with pepperoncini, Vitasana could quickly become one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Chicago. But you can also expect to see slow-roasted meats on the menu, including a Persian brisket bowl studded with carrots, peaches, kalamata feta, dolloped with eggplant cream and drizzled in sumac sauce; as well as curried lamb meatballs over a bed of brown rice and arugula, laden with chickpea-pico, cashews, and spicy broccoli. Inside the bustling Time Out Market Chicago (located at 916 West Fulton Market), Vitasana's inviting counter and colorful plates stand out for anyone looking to eat well and feel great. Stop in for leisurely lunch or healthy bites on the go!

The European city that feels like an outdoor art gallery with ‘rollercoaster' trams and riverfront rooftop bars
THE mark of a good trip for me is the answer to the question: Would you go back? And after spending a mere 24 hours in Lisbon two years ago, I've been desperate to return. Advertisement 5 Emma at the supremely instagrammable Bica funicular Credit: Supplied 5 The 16th century Belem Tower is stunning architecturally and historically but wait times can hit the two-hour mark Credit: Lisbon Tourism On our first trip we barely scratched the surface of the city but we ticked off some of the star attractions, like St Jorge's Castle and the neo-gothic Santa Justa elevator, which whisks you vertically from the lower streets to those above. This time, bearing a Lisboa card, which gives access to 51 museums and galleries, my husband and I were keen to see more. Our fab hotel, the Hyatt Regency Lisbon, was based in the Belem area so we started exploring there after visiting Pasteis de Belem for one of the city's famous pastéis de nata. Forget the cold, stodgy British custard tart, this is something else. A light, creamy filling in a sticky filo pastry case, best warm, straight from the oven. Advertisement READ MORE TRAVEL NEWS This patisserie is the home of the original tart, based on a secret recipe from nearby Jerónimos monastery, and has been churning out millions of them since 1837. It's a short walk from there to the 16th century Belem Tower. The Unesco heritage site is stunning architecturally and historically but wait times can hit the two-hour mark. The incredible structure seems to float on water when the tide is up.

The Portugal village dubbed the 'Hamptons of Europe' Many top chefs have stalls in the Time Out Market in Cais do Sodré, so you can try their top-notch food at a fraction of restaurant prices. I had a huge, steaming bowl of feijoada de gambas (prawn bean stew) from acclaimed chef Susana Felicidade for just £13.50 and my husband had a cod sandwich, which he declared the best ever. Advertisement We toasted those brave fishermen with a glass of Portuguese vinho verde. It translates as green wine but refers to the young age of the grapes, not the colour of the drink. It's slightly effervescent and lower in both alcohol and price. Refreshed and refuelled, we spent an hour or so wandering the streets and ended up at the Tile Museum. The blue and white tiles that decorate many of the city's buildings are so beautiful, this is more art gallery than museum. Don't miss the panorama made of hundreds of tiles on the top floor. Our next excursion was a trip on Tram 28. Lisbon is famously hilly but has a network of trams, buses and funiculars to whizz you up and down the inclines. Tram 28 follows a 7km route up, down and round the city streets, like an urban rollercoaster. It still uses the original 1930s yellow carriages and gets very busy, so join at either end of the line and stand at the back for the full teeth-rattling experience.

We took the supremely instagrammable Bica funicular, which hauled us to the top of the street in the time you can say 'shall we take a selfie?' Advertisement Having done our exploring for the day, we got back to the hotel in time for Gin O'Clock, a tasting session that pairs infused drinks with gourmet snacks. Who knew beef tartare and caviar went with juniper and grapefruit gin? Later we ate at the hotel's Viseversa restaurant, dining on more local fish, this time delicious turbot and sea bream. Then there was one last treat, a nightcap at the Icon rooftop bar. Judging by the amount of instagramming going on, it's the place to go for a drink. Advertisement We sipped espresso martinis as a DJ played and night fell over the river. Best of all, we only had to jump in the lift to get back to our incredibly luxurious room. The next morning, with only a few hours before our flight, we had a leisurely breakfast and some time in the Serenity Spa. My husband relaxed in the pool , Jacuzzi and steam room while I was treated to a Feel The Algarve massage — 80 minutes of blissful indulgence. We left feeling like VIPs. Advertisement So I guess the question is: Would we go back a third time? The answer: Yes, without doubt. I'd gladly take another helping of pastel de nata, and of the city itself.
