I'm from Chicago and while in Chicago I actually prefer a less expensive a simpler dog & fries from Gene and Judes. However, Portillo's has always had great hot dogs, beef sandwiches and chocolate cake. Needless to say, in Phoenix, when I need a hot dog fix, the next best thing to making my own is to head over to Portillo's. Today's visit didn't disappoint with hot dog, fries and chocolate cake shake. This was my first chocolate cake shake and while I'm not a chocolate ice cream fan, I've read great reviews about this shake so I decided to give it a try. It's delicious! I just needed a vanilla shake afterward to wash down all that chocolate! Just kidding, I drank a ton of water afterward though.
