    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.

    The Italian beefs always hit. They are the best!! Especially with a side of fries. Their chocolate cake is also good.

    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 😂

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

    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.
