Our Senior VP of Operations has been with Vienna Beef for nearly 30 years. He's seen the launches, discontinuations, accomplishments and failures of every recipe our company has produced over the course of his oversight, and has orchestrated the success of some of Vienna Beef's most iconic and delicious food staples (like the Jalapeño & Cheddar Franks and BagelDogs). A critical piece in Vienna Beef's foundation, MC is looked to as a trusted, knowledgable advisor and friend.
In short, he's a man who knows his ish, and we were lucky enough to have his feedback on the day we built this recipe in our office kitchen:
"We can make that," he said. "Vienna Beef has the resources to make that, package it, and share it with people, and we should."
Developed by our in-house chef, Greg Kuczaj, this recipe is a surprisingly delightful twist to your typical Italian Beef sub.
Happy Italian Beef Day from the marketing department (who doesn't gatekeep, but can totally relay the message if you desire to pick 20 of these up at the store and stockpile them in your freezer).
Yes, it's that good. MC said so himself.
