| - Chicago transplants... Go for the dog.
After leaving Chicago over thirty years ago, and with just a couple of visits back since then, I missed a true "Chicago Hotdog", and Portillo's filled the bill with a perfect dog, including the poppy seed bun, sport peppers, kelly green relish, and a taste of celery salt. The service was quick, the restaurant clean, and prices were appropriate.
The Italian beef however left a little to be desired. We requested the beef dipped, and even with it dipped the beef was dry tasting and over salted. The roll was great, and the amount of meat in the sandwich was alright, but not "piled on". The sweet peppers on top were very tasty.
5 star dog, and 3 star beef.
After a day, I'm already craving another one.
