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'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
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 😂
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
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
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
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.
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!!!
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
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.
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.
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.
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
“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!
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!
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.

Ask for cheese to dip your fries in. 😉

The walking out the door crying...that's ME...everytime I eat...RIP food😞😂
That’s how I felt when they opened a Portillo in Tucson last year! ❤️
Wow, its been 11 years?! I remember when you moved to L. A.!

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

@@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! I live very close to one, and their chocolate cake shakes are the REAL DEAL.
I love Portillos!! We found some in Florida when we visited and had to stop!
Chitown here all day 🍕🌭🍗🚃🚌
I've been to Chicago twice and I've eaten at Portillo's on both trips! Good stuff.
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!!!
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

Food was so good that he left crying lol
Yes baby!! Shout out from da Chi🙌💕💕💕
Absolutely the king of sandwiches
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🥪
Love me some portillos, so dang good
One of my favorite places to go in Chicago! ☺️
I’ll have to check it out. Hey, I’ve passed there many times!
Portillos there is amazing
This is gold!!
The Maxwell Street Polish is fantastic along with that decadent chocolate cake, yummy!!
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 🥩🥖🇮🇹🇺🇸
Portillos is amazing. Try thr beef combo, dogs, and cheddar beef crossaint
I always grab 2 extra dipped
That’s how food, when you really want it😅
Fantastic
LOL Love it
They open one in Denton Texas ❤i love it my sister hates it lmao 🤣
Best food ever and thats my favorite location
The beef is alright. The chocolate cake shake is where it’s at!!!!
The one in Forest Park is always on point.
I feel ya, brother. I live in Houston, another Italian beef desert.
I’m definitely going there on my next trip to LA!
You got that FBG BUTTA SPECIAL
You should try the Char-broiled burgers they're really good🧡
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.
I live down the street from this place in BP! Sooooo good
Omg I grew up outside of Chicago and my daughter and I have driven 3 hours to eat here 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.
That IS the face ya make with your first bite of Portillos Italian Beef sandwich.
GOTTA GET ONE TO GO BROTHER!!!!!😎😎😎😎😎
I love Portillos Italian beef its so rich and delicious 😋
I know the feeling
Midwest native im a Portillos guy my wife loves Culvers it's an ongoing war!
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.
We have a few portillos out here in phx az they hella good
FYI. It is actually in Orange County in the city of BUENA Park. And the food is great and reasonably priced.
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.
Can't believe you went to the Portillo's that's 10 minutes away from my house.
Yesssss I drive a hour and 30 minutes to get this sandwich
You should try Al's Beef Taylor St Chicago
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.
Enjoy life 😃🤗
He definitely from Chicago. Sweet and hot peppers…dipped
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.
“It’s just been 30 seconds, 30 seconds”
You gotta try the chocolate cake shake when you go back
Portillos lemon cake FTW!
I need that Italian beef & Pepsi combo
Man i felt that first bite lol i miss the soggy bread, the dripping meat *PAUSE* but you know what i mean
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
Nice!
Barkley 😂😂😂
My dad is from Chicago
We have one in Detroit and it's close I door dashed all the time

No chocolate cake shake for the go?!?!
not a 1! too old for all that sugar lol!
Oh hey the first ever Portillos was made in the town I grew up in
Elmhurst Portillo's?? They have one of those old school looking ones

yeah that was about 9-10 years ago!
I drive from Vegas to Cali every now and then just for that
What's the prices like out there for a beef combo? I'm from Chicago as well but like in Dallas. I pay $22.00 w fries and drink
Lamar don't cry❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am actually upset that we dont have any of these here in Ohio. That Italian beef looks SO GOOD
You should have came back home to try that and rep.
Don’t cry because it is over… smile because it happened.
I feel your pain..... ❤
😂😂😂😂
I had portillos for the first time a week ago... I understand his feelings OMFG
I'll make sure to eat Portillo's once a week for you Lamarr. Chicago will take you back though ;)
wow what a tease!
Make a video of this restaurant
Better than most burger joints in California.
