Dubbed "The Leo," the sandwich features Portillo’s signature Italian beef, dipped in gravy and topped with a choice of sweet peppers, hot giardiniera, or both — a nod to what the company calls "the holy trinity of peppers."

What am I missing here? This just sounds like a beef sandwich to me.

You and me both.

They're not using the good marketing words. The beef has been divinely seasoned, and baptized in gravy.

Also it's national Italian beef month.
