You found a great guy and foodie to hang with Adam. I love how you review what you think of the foods over 30 days. The street mans views and oddly living in Barstow Ca. and can't get out i have tried food from every place you have gone to so far and some of them from take out people bring me :)
Okay excuse me while I totally fan girl here. Portillo’s was created & founded by my grandfather and I’ve watched you for YEARS and this is just too cool to me! I’m glad you enjoyed your visit!!
well your grandfather is a legend. I am going there tonight to get my burger fix. I have eaten so many times there I lost count. Adam, come to Chicago some time for a food tour.
I went to Portillo's for dinner last night. What a neat place! I've driven by it so many times but never ate there. The Chicago dog, onion rings and cake shake was about $10. Really good!
I loved today’s episode. I am a native Chicagoan, but moved to Florida 20 years ago. I missed Portillo’s big time until they opened one near me in the Tampa area a few years ago. Their Chicago dogs are good but my favorite Portillo’s item is the Italian beef and sausage combo sandwich. Their chocolate cake is also very good.
I'm thoroughly enjoying these food vlogs! Not only do you get to see awesome food you get to see the amazing buildings and scenery all around. Love it!! Thanks!!
that was actually fun watching two distguished gentlemen munching on good food got me hungry and the trees were interesting ,,,love seeing big trees its a great thing to see and it gives me a little faith on the human condition not destroying everything in its path...
Thank you Adam, you are my eyes to see what is happening in the world! Some day soon I pray I will be able to experience the same joy exploring life out in the real world like you do!
Takes us 4.5-5 hours to get to Chicago. We still go once a year for Portillos, Superdawg, and pizza(varies on where we get pizza). The food at those places are so good. Try Portillos italian beef sandwich too.
That place is great. Decor is great. Building is great. Vibe is great. Food is great. Service is great. Everyone who goes there is great!! Fun video...looks so good now I’m craving it!!
We live in L.A. and have family in Chicago. They always talk about Jimmy's hotdogs and Portillo's. We are definitely going to stop by the Buena Park Portillo's to see what they have raving about all these years. Looks delicious! 😋
Woo, this Series means alot to Me. I spent the 1st 65 yrs of My life in SoCal. Been up in NorCal for 6 Yrs now. It's so great to see the Cities,Eateries and Parks fm the old stomping grounds. Thanks for sharing!!!
The chocolate cake is amazing at Portillo's. Didn't know you could get a shake version. The lemon cake they do seasonally is the best cake I have ever had, no joke. The strawberry shortcake is amazing, as well.
Chicago in da house 😎. Those are sport peppers Adam. Good choice on the Chicago style hotdog. Try the "big beef" sandwich next time 👌. Love your vids buddy
Vanilla seems to be a taste for the mature taste buds. I now love it myself and always thought the same as you when I was younger. A vanilla shake can be perfection.
And celery salt on top. They're called sport peppers and no KETCHUP on any dogs in Chicago is the rule...actually some dog stands don't have any ketchup on the premises. Next time you should try the Maxwell St Polish w/mustard & grilled onions:) Also they do ship nation wide!
Sport peppers are the actual peppers name. Probably isolated from Tabasco or some other Southwest, NA variety. In Southwestern and TexMex cooking it would be used as any other mild heat green or red chile.
The quote at the 8:18 mark had me laughing and is also relatable: “that I know nothing about food...other than the fact that it tastes really good.” Lol.
From Chicago here and the Italian beef only resembles a French Dip in the fact that both have shaved beef. The seasoning is very different and Portillo's is the best when it comes to Italian Beef Sandwiches. If you like peppers get the sweet peppers with cheese and get it dipped. It's an experience!
I just have to say your food series has been VERY entertaining! I have not kept up on each and every one, but I will go back and view the ones I missed. Rule of thumb on chili: on hotdogs, no beans. In a bowl, beans. I love it both ways as well.
Dear Mr Woo: I love your new series on food . Today I was driving past Portillo’s. I had a chili dog and it was good although I do prefer their beef dip. A place I may recommend is Carneys on Sunset. They have the best chili burger around . Thanks Mr Woo.
It’s 0930 and I’m hungry for a hot dog, shake and onion rings now! Thanks ATW! 🤤😁. Side note-I wonder if you can add a chocolate cake slice to a strawberry shake?! Too much?
Adam the usual Chicago way to eat an Italian beef is to have it dipped. The whole sandwich is nice and covered in the beef juices. The soggy bread is one of the best parts.
The second Portillo's in California is in Moreno valley. We have two Portillo's in the Phoenix AZ area. You had two of my favorite items. The chili dog and the chicago dog. I lived in the Chicago area for 30 years so I have eaten at Portillo's a lot
Grew up in Addison, IL the birthplace of Portillo's, ate many hot dogs and Italian beef dipped with sweet and hot peppers. I lived near the Portillo's family residence and have been to a couple parties back when they still lived in Illinois. Still live very near a Portillo's and still visit regularly.
Adam, ! When u talked of a ""Chicago dog"""I started listening! Portillo's is da' best! Italian beef with sweet peppers, next time for your pleasure. Super vid...
Ya ain’t a kidding, the food locations look good, but I wanted to go sometime anyway for the theme and old timey fun stuff (haven’t been to California in years)
This was fun to watch your review and made me want to drive to a Portillo's as I watched. Been a patron since I was very young. There's 44 locations in Illinois. His first location was a trailer without a bathroom or electricity. Expanded quickly to a couple of small buildings and the business grew very rapidly from there and is now internationally famous. Seems every country wants Portillo's restaurants of their own. One little known aspect of their menu is that whoever their bun supplier is has figured out how to make them so they don't disintegrate with the wet condiments and sauces, which is always the case at other restaurants.
👋 Hey Adam! Another Nice Picnic w/a new guest. Beautiful. Either/OR me too. Oooohhh! Chicago Dog! Mmmm. When I Lived in Mission Beach, older couple opened a Chicago Dog Restaurant right across the street. We’re In the Money! Ehhh eh. Classic. Nothing Wrong with Vanilla. I Go Mostly For Strawberry. But My Favorite is A Chocolate MALT with 🍌Banana! Yesterday was Crunch Crunch Crunch. Today was a Snap!!! Thnx! CJ
Lead on big the foot 👣 Italian beef is GOOOOD. Ah. And Chicago dogs... yep, I lived near Chicago and in ILLINOIS too. Yep. I moved around AloT. Miss the traveling. Another good food review. Loving the Trees❣️😉🙏😎🧚♀️
Been to Portillo’s in Chicago and loved it. Just got notice that we will be getting one in my neighborhood later this year. Sadly, Jay Leno won’t be there
Best chili cheese dogs hands down!! Pretty much best hot dogs around too. Also love the sausage and beef sandwich. AWESOME interior / decor. Love vintage signs and this place is packed with them!
What what what!? I didnt know there was a Portillo's in Cali! Yum, one jealous Oregonian right here. My hubby's from Chicago & we go there as much as possible when we visit family. We've had it flown in for a couple of super bowl parties too.
I love the architecture of the restaurant and theming inside. I have eaten at one of those before in the Chicago area. Just went to the website and noticed there are a couple not too far away from me here in Florida. Maybe I will have to go eat there again soon.
Hey 👋 Adam! I just found the “Wacky Woo” Live from Old Town Car Classic!!!! That was great 👍 ! & that Beth Vandal is a lot of Fun! I just watched 3 of her episodes. Easy on the Eyes Yada said. One thing leads to another. I love the Collaborations. Chicago 🐕 Dogs? It’s Go Time!!! CJ
i didn't think I would enjoy watching someone eating fast food for 30 days. But I have watched every one and want to go to Southern California and check out the fast food. Thank you, Woo.
I'm from Illinois and boy do I miss Portillos - Best Italian beef with the peppers and the au jus is to die for!! The classic Chicago hot dog, oh YUM! Now if they would open a location in New England, I'd be a happy camper!
Chicago transplant in Arizona here! They're slowly expanding to other states. I know they've got I think two in Florida and there's also a couple here in Arizona, one of which is in Mesa, just 3 miles from Sloan Park, otherwise known as Wrigley West, where the Cubs play spring training. Also, pro tip: June 16th they're launching a limited time Strawberry Lemon Cake Shake. Strawberry milkshake, with a slice of lemon cake blended in.
OMG... Adam, When you go to Portillos you must get an Italian beef. Ask for it "wet"! When I lived in Chicago, I ate there at least 2 times a week or I went to Johnny's when I wanted a beef. Portillos literally dip the whole sandwich in the auju. And if it's done right, it isn't soggy. Also the peppers they put on them are called Giardiniera peppers! I am soooo jealous right now! Makes me want to drive to south Florida just to get one!

Ken’s voice and demeanor is very calming! I’ve loved these last 30 days of SoCal food reviews. Thanks Adam!
He’s a no drama, go with the flow, type of guy 👊🏻
Agree, perfect eating partner and guess
Ken seems like such a mellow and nice person. I always appreciate how nice of a dude he seems to be!
He’s a great guy

R U from Illinois sarah carmen I live 15 minutes from gurnee Illinois , I have been there 5 times so far
Your grandfather would be proud I bet Sarah...look at these hella good sandwiches Adam and his cohort are enjoying..awesome grub
it’s so ass i just go to get water
well your grandfather is a legend. I am going there tonight to get my burger fix. I have eaten so many times there I lost count. Adam, come to Chicago some time for a food tour.
@Sarah Carmen you're a LIER!
Your friend seems like such a nice guy! He should come with you more often. 😊
I went to Portillo's for dinner last night. What a neat place! I've driven by it so many times but never ate there. The Chicago dog, onion rings and cake shake was about $10. Really good!
We love our portillos here in the Chicago area. I usually go with a Chicago dog and cheese fries
That or Italian beef. We go to Chicago once a year for Portillos, pizza, and Superdawg. It's about a 4.5-5 hour one way drive.
This makes 30 straight days. Which means we're officially back to " it's his 2nd channel, daily vlog channel, it's the Daily Woo!!"
I remember how dumbfounded I was on the final vlog.
Helll yeah!!
It's technically his main channel now...
OMG! I love Portillo’s, Chicago dogs, Italian beef, so yummy! Thanks for sharing 🌭👍

From Chicago, here. Italian beef with hot peppers dipped is the way to go. Dang this made me miss it!
Agreed, just missing the giardinara! I'm craving Portillo's from Oregon now.
And no cheese!
that was actually fun watching two distguished gentlemen munching on good food got me hungry and the trees were interesting ,,,love seeing big trees its a great thing to see and it gives me a little faith on the human condition not destroying everything in its path...
Aw, Portillo’s. One of the few things I miss from Chicago living 💞. Your video made my mouth water because I know how good it is.
Glad you went all of Portillo's food is fantastic!
That chocolate cake shake sounds amazing! I'm glad to see you guys enjoying life.
Mary, it is a very good shake that I get everytime there.
Thank you Adam, you are my eyes to see what is happening in the world! Some day soon I pray I will be able to experience the same joy exploring life out in the real world like you do!

Thanks for the video I’m from Chicago and now live here in California. I didn’t know Portillos being out here until now. I will be going ASAP
That looked so DELICIOUS. YUMMY YUMMY... It looks like you and Ken enjoyed, Adam... What a great series.
🤠🤗😊👍
We live in L.A. and have family in Chicago. They always talk about Jimmy's hotdogs and Portillo's. We are definitely going to stop by the Buena Park Portillo's to see what they have raving about all these years. Looks delicious! 😋
Every day when I watch these I get so hungry.
Woo, this Series means alot to Me. I spent the 1st 65 yrs of My life in SoCal. Been up in NorCal for 6 Yrs now. It's so great to see the Cities,Eateries and Parks fm the old stomping grounds. Thanks for sharing!!!
Heck yes! There’s one in Tampa and supposedly one being built by WDW
The chocolate cake is amazing at Portillo's. Didn't know you could get a shake version. The lemon cake they do seasonally is the best cake I have ever had, no joke. The strawberry shortcake is amazing, as well.
The reason the chocolate cake is so moist is they add mayonnaise to it, no joke.
Chicago in da house 😎. Those are sport peppers Adam. Good choice on the Chicago style hotdog. Try the "big beef" sandwich next time 👌. Love your vids buddy
I love Portillo’s. My daughter came home from Texas the other day, the first thing she wanted is Portillo’s
My favorite place in Chicago land for Italian beef sandwiches and Chicago style hot dogs . You’re welcome California 😎
Vanilla seems to be a taste for the mature taste buds. I now love it myself and always thought the same as you when I was younger. A vanilla shake can be perfection.
Oh man, every time I go to Chicago for work, I get off the plane and head straight to Portillo's! Awesome VLOG Adam!
Heck yea
I miss Portillo's Italian beef. Went there alot when living in Chicago.
And celery salt on top. They're called sport peppers and no KETCHUP on any dogs in Chicago is the rule...actually some dog stands don't have any ketchup on the premises. Next time you should try the Maxwell St Polish w/mustard & grilled onions:) Also they do ship nation wide!
At Portillo's the little green peppers are called "sport peppers."
And you have to be a good sport to want to eat them because they're so dang hot!
@@davidwatts4517 Nah
That's funny, in gardening, an unusual (shape, size, etc) vegetable is called a "sport"
Sport peppers are the actual peppers name. Probably isolated from Tabasco or some other Southwest, NA variety.
In Southwestern and TexMex cooking it would be used as any other mild heat green or red chile.
Sport peppers are less spicy than any type of jalapeno... Super
"birds in the tree up there"... Adam, I was expecting, "Hitchcock would be proud!".... Enjoying the streams, keep it up :)
You've done this 30 days....non-stop. Hard work and very entertaining!
Thank you it’s been fun

Orlando Florida will be getting a Portillo's Hot Dog some time this year,so I have something to look forward to also a White Castle
Be better than anything in OC CALI
California doesn't have a White Castle and it really peeves Me
There's one in Brandon Florida if you can't wait
Chocolate cake shake, cheese fries and a beef with mozzarella and peppers!! Yumm!!!
I live less then a mile from the Elmhurst, IL location. Beef and Cheddar Croissants and Chopped Salads are awesome!
Yes! They have one in Maple Grove, Minnesota. Very delicious food. The atmosphere in the place is so cool and fun!
Thanks, Adam! Can’t wait till you visit Jimboy’s!
The Italian beef with Italian sausage is the BOMB. Had several of them while visiting Chicago.
I miss Johnnie’s in Elmwood Park.
Oh, yeah, I was hoping you'd go there...I love the Italian Beef and Cake Shake.
I just have to say your food series has been VERY entertaining! I have not kept up on each and every one, but I will go back and view the ones I missed. Rule of thumb on chili: on hotdogs, no beans. In a bowl, beans. I love it both ways as well.

Ken’s awesome and a great cameo guest star. So I’m coming to SoCal in August. At least gimme your top 5 must eats while I’m there. Please!
🤩😎🌭🌭🍦🍰🥒love Ken saying lifting the shake is excersising.
Best part, @19:32 - - - > "I'm a sucker for a good shake"!! Lol You go, Adam!! Love it...pun intended.
I say "I shall" every time.

Love your shows brother. Look forward to seeing it every night.
Wisconsin, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, California, and Arizona are where you can find Portillo’s. TEXAS needs one!!!

I want to try Portillo's. The park your at,my granddaughter skateboards there. Back in the back is a skate park.I really love this series!💖
I remember year ago that being a nice park , we stopped to eat in the park a few times
Thanks to this food series, am totally back to everyday viewing of The Daily Woo! And I couldn’t be happier about that :)

Always good to see Ken in your videos
OH MAN - time for lunch :) !!! Thanks for taking us along on your little trips, Adam - well worth it :) !
I've actually never wanted to go to California until now. This series makes me want to go just for the food. Lol
This is just the drop in the bucket
Ya ain’t a kidding, the food locations look good, but I wanted to go sometime anyway for the theme and old timey fun stuff (haven’t been to California in years)
There are plenty of portillos in other states. No need to come here just for them.
@@trdrav4 I think that she was referring to the series as a whole, not just Portillo's.
@@SmokyMountainBlessed You have a California Soul, maybe.
You must if you're named Joy Blessed Life.
I love portillos from Chicago here I miss my big beef, dipped, w/ peppers
My go-to at Portillo's is a Combo Sandwich (Sausage and Italian Beef) with hot peppers, Dry dipped and small fry. We have 3 Portillo's in Phoenix now.
You know it’s a dang good dog when Adams head banging after every bite. Haha
🤘😎🤘

Looks delicious! Adam have you tried Chronic Tacos? I know you like Tacos!
Really enjoyed the daily food reviews! Loved each one! Very interesting 30 days!
My family and I used to go to their as we lived in 1 town west of Villa Park, IL. I would get the polish sausage, my brother loved the Italian Beef.
There is one in Davenport, Iowa, the food is outstanding.
