I'm from Chicago but live in Atlanta now I used to go to the Portillos in Bolingbrook!!! I lived there too!!! Truly miss the Italian Beef dipped with peppers amd the Chicago hot dog and the onion rings, Fiiieee!!!❤❤❤❤
I moved from Chicago to Atlanta last year and I just couldn't do it with their food scene compared to Chicago's. So I moved back to Chicago yesterday lol
@shakeydadon lived there too, in fact they had 3 restaurants, sold 1 built another across the street, sold that building and built the one they're in now by rt 53 in the closed grocery store parking lot! The only thing I don't miss is the overpriced beer mugs that only held 8 oz?😅
Went to graduate school in Chicago and also lived there for approx. 15 years. Didn’t really eat many Italian beef sandwiches when I was there. But the other day I saw that there was a Portillo’s that opened up in my new city (Denton, TX) and decided to go. I got one of those beefs with the sausage. It was delicious. Now I regret not having more of these when I lived in Chicago.
I visited Portillo's in Scottsdale, AZ. Had to laugh as half the cars in the parking lot had IL license plates on them! I love Portillo's, and Al's Beef and Buona... Great stuff!!!
Aww... poor guy... it is terrible to live away from Chicago restaurants... I send everyone lots of love who don't have chicago restaurants nearby... my heart goes out to those poor souls
Hello Lamar. I'm also from Chicago and you should try their Char-Boiled Burgers. Trust me it so Worth it. Idk if you already had it but it my 2nd best burger in my life. 1st place is Five Guys ❤
@@uniontown1I have always said it's one one the best burgers you can get ...and for the price a hamburger is like 550 and a cheese burger is 6 something ...that's crazy cheap for that delicious burger
You needed a piece of cake and milk shake. When I go to Chicago, this is always the 1st and last stop to eat. So happy there's one in California. Thank you.
The Portillos is not technically in LA but in OC (Orange County) i wish we had a portillos in LA but portillos is worth a drive and also right across the street from Knott’s Berry Farm so you can ride some rollercoasters and hit up portillos after for a complete day in case you don’t want to drive in 1 hr traffic just to to eat 😂
They recently opened a Portillo's by my house. Order delivery from them all the time. Place is always busy, they have to use employees in the drive through to call in orders to the kitchen way in advance just to keep up with the take out window
I've had Portillos in California Arizona Indiana Wisconsin and they all taste the same . That's what makes it a great restaurant. The hotdogs are great the Maxwell street polish is pretty good nothing like a original one from JT/Jim's JT is a Chicago thang ! The burgers are char broiled and good honestly don't sleep on da ribs either . Best deserts are all of them imo and gotta get a chocolate cake shake . Oh and get a combo too ! Italian beef and Italian sausage omg extra dipped sweet and hot with a splash of marinara
@@UnkSilkSavagE1373 folks said the quiet part out loud lol JT lmao 🤣 gotta have extra onions and cheese on dat polish and pork chop definitely agree grape or Tahitian fruit punch pop
A little tip about Portillo's, order the beef and Italian sausage combo, get red sauce on the side, and for 50 cents you can buy a additional bread roll! You now have 2 sammich's 😅
Very cool 🤠 That has to be Orange County “Not LA County” in the city of Buena Park California not far from Knott’s Berry farm. I have family in that city even though I live in heatwave Arizona lol 😂
I live about twenty minutes from that location and I drive forty minutes plus the time to get my order for the Italian beef. With mozzarella dipped with extra hot peppers and three sides of gravy is my order.
Portillos does not make the best Italian beef or Chicago hot dogs in Chicago, but they are reliably good, which is why they are everywhere. It's a chain and those restaurants are seemingly on every street corner. Every Portillos has a huge line at the drive through that moves incredibly fast.
The food will always be better anywhere near the great lakes because water is used to cook all food directly or indirectly. Eat an egg from a chicken raised on sulfur water in Florida and youll know what i mean.
Italian beefs are ny favorite. Im from Atlanta andnnever had one until i kived in South Florida. There were a few places that had them but one stood out above the rest Tony's in Venice Florida is the shiznit. I started getting fat eating those damn thing lol.
I'm originally from Chicago as well I now live in Texas and I MISS MY ITALIAN BEEF 😢!! they don't even know what that is down here OMG!! All they know is that damn brisket which is good but there is nothing better than a Italian beef sandwich from Chicago. I WANT TO GO HOME just to get that doggone sandwich!!! I have bought the meat and had the butcher slice the meat for me and made my own it was very delicious I must say but it's nothing like the real thing. Somebody please send me one!!😂
i’m so sorry you had to eat Portillo‘s🫣😵 I live in Chicago and one just popped up in my neighborhood and Logan Square. But you have to think there’s so many traditional Chicago bodega places to get Italian beef that are packed with beef and flavor..$9 with fires and a pop👌🏽 always hit up the hole in the walls if you’re trying to get an Italian beef and Chicago
If I remember correctly, the last time I saw you eating that sandwich, was the first time I actually heard you swear *UNCENSORED* when you called it ‘the shit’ xD
I live in Chicago right now and my girlfriend lives in North Carolina! But she did tell me that she’s gonna be moving to Chicago to see me and I’m actually nervous because I finally get to see her beautiful, cute and pretty face in person and she gets to see my handsome face in person! She told she’ll be moving to Chicago to be with me in a week. I’m so nervous I don’t know what to say when we finally meet! Although she sent me a video saying “can we hug like this when we meet?” And I said “of course babe! I can’t wait to see you next week!” And she said “me too because I felt so lonely and alone but next week I’m gonna move to Chicago to be with you so when it’s time for us to sleep, we can cuddle. Anyway, I gtg bc packing will take about 5 days. Love you babe” and I said “love you too darling” I love her so much💖💝💗💛❤️🫶🏻💍💎🤍🥰
“Look at this Portillos, I’m about to get hit by a car hold on😂”
I’ve never left Chicago so I understand those tears. Love this brother!
The Italian beefs always hit. They are the best!! Especially with a side of fries. Their chocolate cake is also good.
The strawberry shortcake 🍰 even better.
@@magallon643Fr
Ask for cheese to dip your fries in. 😉

After almost sixteen years of being away from my home city of Chicago, I imagine that the smell of Italian beef would probably make me cry for real!
Beef Sandwich dipped with peppers, jumbo chicago dog & cake shake is my go to order
The walking out the door crying...that's ME...everytime I eat...RIP food😞😂
Aww... poor guy... it is terrible to live away from Chicago restaurants... I send everyone lots of love who don't have chicago restaurants nearby... my heart goes out to those poor souls
Wow, its been 11 years?! I remember when you moved to L. A.!
I love Portillos! I live very close to one, and their chocolate cake shakes are the REAL DEAL.
The FBG Butta special is crazy😂
Only thing he was missing was that ice cold Pepsi 😂

I hear you but by the time I drive my butt all the way there (an hour) all I want is the Italian beef SAMMICH! 😅
5 Guys overrated
i concur alot of people sleep on that burger
@@uniontown1I have always said it's one one the best burgers you can get ...and for the price a hamburger is like 550 and a cheese burger is 6 something ...that's crazy cheap for that delicious burger
I love Portillos!! We found some in Florida when we visited and had to stop!

Oh man I haven’t eaten Portillos since I left Chicagoland in ‘11!!
Same. Been about the same time period and I live near Philly. Gotta say, while a cheesesteak is mighty tasty, Italian Beef is where it's at
They recently opened a Portillo's by my house. Order delivery from them all the time. Place is always busy, they have to use employees in the drive through to call in orders to the kitchen way in advance just to keep up with the take out window
I've been to Chicago twice and I've eaten at Portillo's on both trips! Good stuff.
I’m from Chicago too bruv love our food, fw portillos
Went to chicago last year n i had to stop at portillos for the chocolate cake shake. Im now pre diabetic but it was worth it
😂
Unos pizza.....your welcome 😂😂😂 Might have to wait a bit though, some of the best in The Windy.
That's the chi and their beefs
That’s how I felt when they opened a Portillo in Tucson last year! ❤️
Yes baby!! Shout out from da Chi🙌💕💕💕
Absolutely the king of sandwiches
I've had Portillos in California Arizona Indiana Wisconsin and they all taste the same . That's what makes it a great restaurant.

4Sho Joe the whole menu hit, but the original JewTown polish and porkchops and a grape wildwood never fails😊😊😊❤

Chitown here all day 🍕🌭🍗🚃🚌
Food was so good that he left crying lol
I said it when you used to do all those oreo vids in the past and I'll say it again, you would make a great "eating food in car video" guy
Literally got myself a Portillo's Big Beef Sandwich now🥪
The Maxwell Street Polish is fantastic along with that decadent chocolate cake, yummy!!
Love me some portillos, so dang good
I’ll have to check it out. Hey, I’ve passed there many times!
Portillos is amazing. Try thr beef combo, dogs, and cheddar beef crossaint
This is gold!!
Portillos there is amazing
The beef is alright. The chocolate cake shake is where it’s at!!!!
You should try Al's Beef Taylor St Chicago
One of my favorite places to go in Chicago! ☺️
Not all Portillos have it but their meatball sandwich is super underrated. I order it with giardanera and mozzarella.
Yea I don't think they have it at the Buena Park one.
Very cool 🤠 That has to be Orange County “Not LA County” in the city of Buena Park California not far from Knott’s Berry farm. I have family in that city even though I live in heatwave Arizona lol 😂
Nailed it!
I love that restaurant 🥩🥖🇮🇹🇺🇸
Midwest native im a Portillos guy my wife loves Culvers it's an ongoing war!
GOTTA GET ONE TO GO BROTHER!!!!!😎😎😎😎😎
You should try the Char-broiled burgers they're really good🧡
Best food ever and thats my favorite location
I live about twenty minutes from that location and I drive forty minutes plus the time to get my order for the Italian beef. With mozzarella dipped with extra hot peppers and three sides of gravy is my order.
They open one in Denton Texas ❤i love it my sister hates it lmao 🤣
LOL Love it
Lived in Chicago for 45 years and Portillo’s was a staple! An Italian Beef - dipped, of course was perfection!
He says Portillo wrong, it sounds poor-te-low- Portillo. Never is an s in Italian, which comes from Latin or Latino.
I always grab 2 extra dipped
I love Portillos Italian beef its so rich and delicious 😋
Fantastic

That IS the face ya make with your first bite of Portillos Italian Beef sandwich.
Omg I grew up outside of Chicago and my daughter and I have driven 3 hours to eat here lol
I feel ya, brother. I live in Houston, another Italian beef desert.
The food will always be better anywhere near the great lakes because water is used to cook all food directly or indirectly. Eat an egg from a chicken raised on sulfur water in Florida and youll know what i mean.
That’s how food, when you really want it😅
The one in Forest Park is always on point.
Italian beefs are ny favorite. Im from Atlanta andnnever had one until i kived in South Florida. There were a few places that had them but one stood out above the rest Tony's in Venice Florida is the shiznit. I started getting fat eating those damn thing lol.
I’m definitely going there on my next trip to LA!
Can't believe you went to the Portillo's that's 10 minutes away from my house.
FYI. It is actually in Orange County in the city of BUENA Park. And the food is great and reasonably priced.
I live down the street from this place in BP! Sooooo good
You got that FBG BUTTA SPECIAL

Portillos lemon cake FTW!
Enjoy life 😃🤗
Man i felt that first bite lol i miss the soggy bread, the dripping meat *PAUSE* but you know what i mean
I know the feeling
Yesssss I drive a hour and 30 minutes to get this sandwich
Everything he said and did is 100% accurate. That’s how it feels, how it tastes, and exactly what to order.
Oh yeah Merrillville Indiana not far from Chicago's got a Portillo's it's very good
He definitely from Chicago. Sweet and hot peppers…dipped
i’m so sorry you had to eat Portillo‘s🫣😵 I live in Chicago and one just popped up in my neighborhood and Logan Square.

Don’t cry because it is over… smile because it happened.
I need that Italian beef & Pepsi combo
You gotta try the chocolate cake shake when you go back
I am actually upset that we dont have any of these here in Ohio. That Italian beef looks SO GOOD
I'll make sure to eat Portillo's once a week for you Lamarr. Chicago will take you back though ;)
wow what a tease!
“It’s just been 30 seconds, 30 seconds”
My dad is from Chicago
Lamar don't cry❤❤❤❤❤❤
We have a few portillos out here in phx az they hella good
Oh hey the first ever Portillos was made in the town I grew up in
Better than most burger joints in California.
If I remember correctly, the last time I saw you eating that sandwich, was the first time I actually heard you swear *UNCENSORED* when you called it ‘the shit’ xD
yeah that was about 9-10 years ago!
Nice!
We have one in Detroit and it's close I door dashed all the time
Elmhurst Portillo's?? They have one of those old school looking ones
I live in Chicago right now and my girlfriend lives in North Carolina! But she did tell me that she’s gonna be moving to Chicago to see me and I’m actually nervous because I finally get to see her beautiful, cute and pretty face in person and she gets to see my handsome face in person! She told she’ll be moving to Chicago to be with me in a week. I’m so nervous I don’t know what to say when we finally meet! Although she sent me a video saying “can we hug like this when we meet?” And I said “of course babe! I can’t wait to see you next week!” And she said “me too because I felt so lonely and alone but next week I’m gonna move to Chicago to be with you so when it’s time for us to sleep, we can cuddle. Anyway, I gtg bc packing will take about 5 days. Love you babe” and I said “love you too darling” I love her so much💖💝💗💛❤️🫶🏻💍💎🤍🥰
