Original Luke's - Harlem
Inducted on 3rd Jun 2014

Enhancing the image, quality, and iconic status of an Italian Beef and hot dog stand around Chicago for over four decades is no small project. Following the success of those first two decades, Steve DiSilvestro has taken on that task, quite successfully, for nearly 20 years now. He has done just that in stepping up all business niches, from dine-in to delivery, carry out and drive-thru. Steve and his loyal staff have perpetuated The Original Luke’s on Harlem as a fast food icon in the heart of a great restaurant laden area on Chicago’s northwest side.

Featured in the print media, as well as on WGN-TV’s Chicago’s Best, with Brittany Payton and Steve McMichael, The Original Luke’s has been recognized for their fabulous food fare; excelling as a traditional quality ‘beef stand’, with Vienna hot dogs and Polish sausage, their own charbroiled burgers and homemade Chicago style pizza, and much more. Steve and the Original Luke’s team are deeply involved in the community, their schools, many charitable events and even the Franklin Park Ice Arena.

Now, its Vienna’s turn to acknowledge and thank this great beef and hot dog icon, and welcome The Original Luke’s on Harlem into the Vienna Beef Hot Dog Hall of Fane. From all of us at Vienna Beef, we congratulate Steve and the DiSilvestro family and their great staff and look forward to continued success.
