I remember the one in Palatine, loved those lunch runs from Arlington Federal S & L and back again. Hot cheese sub was the best. Italian wasn't too bad either. Why do the good chains close up? Too too tired of McDonalds, Burger King, etc....

Same memories here. Living in Phoenix now, but my 2 best friends & I happened upon the best sandwich of our lives! Those were great days!! Let's find somebody who worked there with the recipe. Come on, pleeeeease?

If any fast food chain should have ever been franchised it was The Italian U-Boat. The sandwich oil concoction they used alone should have been marketed nationwide. Does anyone know what was in it?

It was a franchise, I know someone that lost their a$$ in trying to operate theirs |
I worked at the U-Boat as a teenager. Absolutely loved those sandwiches. Went to Augustino's when it first opened and was at the original location next to a Chinese restaurant in a strip mall. The older Augustino himself made the sandwiches, and he remembered everyone that came into that store. They were the BEST. They were so loaded that they were difficult to bite into. They don't make them quite the same anymore. Another place I have grown to love is Berto's in downtown Downers Grove. They are different, but ever so good. I know you're a sandwich perfectionist, by what you've written. |

And such was the fate of all of them I guess. It's a shame. Great product. |

I used to live across the street to one of the "Original Italian U-boats" in North Riverside off of Cermak Rd (22nd street). THE BEST EVER!!!!!!! The only thing I could find close to them, is ELIOTS DELI in Oak Brook Mall (BUT DIFFERENT BREAD). I would order the sub from there, and gret the TURANO Bread from Mr. Subs and transfer the meat and contents over to the Turano bread. It was pretty close. But no cigar. Will never forget those Original U's.

Daily Horoscope for May 22
Libra
Be very careful when handling financial matters today because not everything is as straightforward as it seems. For instance, someone may tell you about a fail-safe way of making money but neglect to mention all the reasons why it's totally illegal. There could also be mistakes if you're spending money, such as being short-changed or overcharged. So watch out!
