THE BEST ITALIAN BEEF sandwich in Chicago will be decided November 14, in WLPN 105.5 FM Lumpen Radio’s first annual BRIDGEPORT’S GOT BEEF competition, a live broadcast BEEF BATTLE in front of a studio audience.

Eight local beefs will be judged by celebrity judges including 11th Ward Alderman Patrick Daley Thompson, Michelin-Starred Chef Kevin Hickey of the Duck Inn, Bridgeport Food Critic Chuck Sudo, 9th District Police Commander Daniel Godsel, and Vanessa Sanchez of Yollocalli Arts Reach.

For too long, Bridgeport, the birth place of the Italian Beef, has been left off haphazard “Best Of” put out by clickbait journalists. This disrespect will end November 14, when BRIDGEPORT’S GOT BEEF, hits the airwaves.

The evening will be hosted by the Host of Radio Free Bridgeport, John Daley. The live broadcast will feature music about beef, live judging and more.

By donating to Public Media Institute you will be able to taste each of the beef sandwiches, enjoy complementary beverages by Marz and Filbert's Soda, and cast a vote to decide who makes the best beef sandwich in the neighborhood.

Participating restaurants include: Phil’s Pizza, Ricobene’s, Soluris, Johnny O’s, Kathey De’s, Fabulous Freddies Italian Eatery, Turtle's Bar and Grill, & Mangia Fresca.

Proceeds of this event go to Public Media Institute, the organization that manages WLPN 105.5FM, Chicago’s newest independent radio station.
