(upbeat rhythmic music)
We know you guys
love your brew pubs.
- [Man] Yeah.
- Some of you like them a
lot more than others do.
Like Kathleen.
Who wrote in not once, not
twice, not three times,
- [Woman] Blimey.
- [Marley] But five times.
For the love of all
that's holy, Open Outcry.
Well guess what Kathleen?
We're here.
(upbeat rock music)
So we're down here
on the south-side,
we're at Open Outcry
brewing company.
John, tell me a little
bit about the brewery.
- We are a seven-barrel
brewery with a full kitchen.
We have a wood-fired pizza oven.
We're a community brewery.
Our tap room has become a place
that the community can come,
hang out, have a beer
and I really believe in that.
(upbeat rock music)
- We have a lot of
bars on West Avenue.
We don't have a lot
of brew pubs though
that serve really good food,
where you can sit and bring
your family and everything
so this definitely
a different feel.
- Very inviting as soon
as you walk in the door.
Feels like you've been
here a hundred times
the first time you show up.
- Everybody is welcome here.
You can bring your family here.
You can bring coworkers here.
- It's just opened up a whole
different kind of aspect
for Western Avenue.
(rhythmic music)
- I think it's about
time we take advantage
of that south-side hospitality
and hit up the wood-fire oven.
Let's cook.
Alright Chef Cesar.
We're in the kitchen.
I see dough, I know
that means pizza.
- It means pizza absolutely.
We're gonna make
the Chi Town today.
- [Marley] The Chi Town
is Open Outcry's homage
to the Chicago-style
Italian Beef sandwich,
on a pizza.
- And we're gonna
have you make some.
- [Marley] First
step, work the dough.
- With our thumbs, kind
of at the 12 o'clock.
We're gonna pick it up.
- Feel like I'm in Driver's Ed.
(tires screeching)
Next up, the sauce.
The whole thing?
- [Cesar] Sure,
right in the middle.
- [Marley] Load up on the
giardiniera and the beef.
- Go ahead and--
- Alright.
- [Cesar] Yourself up.
You want about four ounces.
- I have no idea what
that means, four ounces.
An of course we top with cheese.
- [Cesar] Now we're
gonna pop in the oven
and while we wait I'll have
some fries cook and a garnish.
- I'm gonna go head
out and grab some beer,
and I'll see you in
a bit with my pizza.
- Salud.
- Salud.
(upbeat rock music)
Alright John, Chef
Cesar finished our pizza.
It looks awesome.
I had no idea the
fries would be on top.
- That's something that
Cesar's done since day one
and everyone seems
to really enjoy it.
- And what kind of beer are
we having with our pizza?
- So we're drinking Open
Interest which is our hazy IPA.
The citrus notes in that IPA
will contrast really nicely
to the savory and saltiness
of the pizza and the fries.
- Alright I can't just
take your word for that.
We're gonna have to test it out.
- Sounds good.
(upbeat rock music)
- [Marley] Mmm, it
actually really tastes
like an Italian beef.
- And the giardiniera on there
gives it a nice kick too.
- It really does.
Italian beef's so Chicago
but the combo with the
pizza and the beer,
makes it so south-side.
- [John] And Italian
beef sandwiches
are not just a Chicago thing,
it's a quintessential
south-side experience as well.
- South side all the way.
- [Man] Yes!
(upbeat rock music)
(whooshing and banging)
