Prime rib sandwich in Downtown Chicago?

Last week I overheard a conversation on the bus about where to get lunch near Northwestern University's medical school in downtown Chicago (in the Loop). One person mentioned a sandwich place ...
From what I recall, he said that you went upstairs and you had a choice of two sandwiches. One was prime rib, the other was the special. He said it was expensive: $14, but that the sandwiches were so big that you could share them between two people.
I can't seem to find anything like this on Google! Does this sound like anything people have heard of?

The "going upstairs" part is really throwing me off. The only steakhouse where you go upstairs that I can think of is Gene & Georgetti, which is not near the NMH campus and I don't believe they have a prime rib sandwich. The closest prime rib purveyor that I can think of is Rosebud Steakhouse, but their lunch prime rib sandwich is a french dip.
Other places you might investigate are Lawry's The Prime Rib and Miller's Pub, which does have an upstairs and serves a sizable open-faced prime rib sandwich (but is nowhere near Northwestern) that could feed two people. At $16.95, it's a fair deal. Get their egg-lemon soup, it's the best.
If your primary interest is in giant sandwiches that feed two people, check out Perry's Deli.

"Upstairs" makes me think of the Grand Lux Cafe, where although I can't recall
a prime rib sandwich per se, they have wonderful BBQ, wonderful BBQ sandwiches, and a
wonderful short rib sandwich, all of gargantuan proportions. 600 North Michigan Avenue at Ontario, just a short walk from Northwestern University's medical school.

Best answer: Rosticceria at Eataly. They have two sandwiches a day-- $14 prime rib and a special, as you can see on the menu. And it's on the second floor.

Response by poster: I think acidic has it, though thanks for all of your suggestions for places to eat!
