| - I was actually nervous that this Portillo's would be a disappointment. Nothing beats the original, but this location is still fantazmic. And I don't even have to catch a flight to Chicago!
My heart started beating faster as soon as I walked in. The anticipation for the Portillo's Dog had me smiling giddily, like a little school girl on Puppy Day. Is Puppy Day a thing? If not, it should be.
The hot dog was great, just like it was in Chi-Town. I'm no hot dog expert, but these are still the best I've ever had.
If you don't like hot dogs, there are plenty of other offerings. The Italian beef sandwich is Great, tender beef, and dipped in gravy to your liking (Dry-light gravy, Extra gravy or totally Dipped in gravy). I like the beef sandwich with sweet peppers added, and I don't really even like peppers.
They also have chicken sandwiches, fish sandwiches, a veggie sandwich, burgers and even..... salads.
Most importantly, if you do like hot dogs... you have to get here as soon as possible to do work... Joey Chestnut style.
