KALAMAZOO, MI-- If you are looking for a taste of Chicago without the drive, Ray Ray’s Italian Beef and Sausage can provide.
When you walk in the door of the Kalamazoo eatery, you are greeted by memorabilia from Chicago’s sports teams like the Bulls, Blackhawks, Cubs and White Sox.
With a customer-first approach, owner Luis Aljona has been setting higher standards for not only his food, but for the small team of employees at Ray Ray’s over the last year since he took full ownership of the restaurant.
The bread and meat at Ray Ray’s come from, you guessed it, Chicago — giving the food a more authentic taste. The baby back ribs, rib tips and chicken are all barbecued on-site, with the ribs smoking for eight to twelve hours.
Address: 1715 Miller Road, Kalamazoo
Type of food: Sandwiches, hot dogs and ribs
About the restaurant: Founded in 2010, Luis Aljona has owned the shop for about one year.

Those looking for a little adventure could try the Ray Ray’s challenge: Randy’s jumbo 26-inch sandwich with Italian meatball “sweetness” and beef and sausage combo, plus one pound of fries.
The colossal meal costs $50, plus tax. But if you can finish it all within an hour, the victorious diner receives a free T-shirt, gets their photo on the wall and their meal is on the house. One more added perk to Ray Ray’s challenge — winners also get to rename the sandwich.
