When Dick Portillo opened his first "Dog House" restaurant, I'm sure even he did not realize that his restaurants would become a Chicagoland institution.
The Beef and Cheddar Croissant is the best item on the menu, hands down. If ya ain't had it, then have it. If ya don't like italian beef sandwiches, then go see a doctor and then have it!
And their Chicago dog is one of the best in Chi-town, so try it... you'll like it.
With multiple locations opening here in Phoenix, it sure helps me to get over my longing for food from my ol' home! Sweet home, Chicago... er, Phoenix! Yeah, babyyy!
