Monti's Induces Drooling with Live Cheesesteak Demo

Weather experts found the cause of Tuesday's high humidity, and it had nothing to do with nature. 

Chicago residents collectively started drooling when Monti's chef James Gottwald made a cheesesteak live on air. The additional moisture left the city in a sweltering—not to mention hungry—condition. 

Gottwald appeared on WGN's Lunchbreak to talk about his restaurant's authentic Philly sandwiches Tuesday afternoon.

James Gottwald and his wife Jennifer Monti both came to Chicago from Philadelphia and took with them the secrets of the centuries-old cheesesteaks. The two still import their bread from Philly, although their meat is Black Angus Ribeye from the Midwest.
