The completely random picture of a guy enjoying a delicious fish sandwich really is out of place, but I didn't have the heart to remove it. It's so random it's funny. PeteJayhawk18:06, 22 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
I have heard this, but it was not used ubiquitously and I can't find a link to anywhere it's been used in the media or literature. I believe it came from the demographics of Maxwell Street in the 60s and 70s, which included a number of Jewish people. BlueGranola (talk) 20:29, 7 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

I've never seen a Maxwell style Polish that wasn't all beef. Since Vienna Beef is the nearly ubiquitous brand and theirs is all beef and since the citation for "beef & pork" is a dead link, I am changing the first paragraph to reflect "all-beef." Highnumber (talk) 14:15, 21 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
The link is dead, but one can still track down the Sun-Times piece, and it does mention pork and beef. (If you have a Chicago library card, you can access the newspaper's online archives to take a look.) Zagalejo^^^03:06, 22 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
I accessed the archives with my Oak Park library card. :) The source may say that Maxwell Polishes are made from beef and pork, but experience tells me that they're very nearly always all-beef, not to mention nearly always Vienna Beef brand. The only places I can think of that sell sausages labeled "Maxwell" that contain pork are Polish deli/butchers, like Bobak's (interestingly the sort of place the article is about), and those are sort of a second hand take on a real Maxwell. Not sure where and how to source that yet. I'll be back! Highnumber (talk) 19:20, 25 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
While I do realize this is an old post, just an FYI -- Bobak's is not a 'second hand take' on Maxwll Polish. Jim's Original uses Bobak's (and doesn't advertise 100% beef on their menu), while their neighbor uses Vienna Beef. At any rate, 'Maxwell Polish' is a style of presentation invented in Chicago for a kielbasa on a bun, with grilled onions, yellow mustard and sport peppers (or not). Aside from the opinion of sausage snobs, the actual brand and/or meat used in the sausage itself, while seemingly important, is still irrelevant to the actual composition of the sandwich.

This article has a picture of the components, before being put together, and for some reason multiple photographs of signs from places that sell these things. But there's no picture of an actual Maxwell Street Polish. Could someone take/source one that can be added? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.174.238.109 (talk) 17:57, 28 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
