- Portillo’s is a fast-casual restaurant chain that many call the one-stop shop for iconic Chicago foods. It has a world-famous chocolate cake, an Italian beef sandwich, cheese fries, a chicken croissant, and a chopped salad. The most popular menu item is the restaurant’s Chicago-style hot dog, topped with mustard, relish, onions, sliced tomato, pickles, peppers, and celery salt. Insider's Herrine Ro visited the downtown Portillo’s location to learn about what goes into the hot dog and find out from customers why they think the Portillo’s hot dog is the most legendary in the city. Herrine ate some of the most popular dishes and invited her friends Alana Yzola and Kyle Desiderio to try out the dishes.

Why Portillo’s Has The Most Famous Hot Dogs In Chicago | Legendary Eats
Their burgers r so good, the cake shake is incredible as well
very much so.
And the Italian beef
@Kevin Prima i love their hotdogs
They need to stop putting mayo in them.
The fat is also amazing
I work at Portillo's since August 2018 and love hearing the positive responses to the food. Thank you all!
You guys are great! Thanks!
Legit great food
I work at Portillos too, it sucks
What has changed since the new owners took over in your opinion
I love the Mary Ann poppyseed buns you use!
Portillo’s burgers never get old. Cake shake is so good too
Burgers are the best thing they have. The cake sucks compared to what it once was.
Is the cake had mayonnaise??
So. Dang. Good.
Aries G. Raymundo yes
Lawwwwwwd!
2 weeks ago I went to Portillos and ordered a whole Chocolate cake. No joke I ate it alone it lasted 3 days!! Bomb 💣
Lol beast
Dave Z Lol it was fun.
Yes ma'am. That's how you live. I drive 30min just for the chocolate cake shake, here in So Cal
It sounds like you are lonely
They changed the ingredients in that cake around when they sold the chain. I don't like their cake anymore. The taste is off. I don't even want the free cake slice for my birthday.
Last time i ate at Portillos was in 2008, sending love from Aguascalientes Mexico 🇲🇽, wishing someday to go back to the BEST hotdogs the I’ve ever had in my whole life
Girl im going to eat one for you and ill report it back on here
Es Muy Delicioso!😂
Let's switch places come to Chicago and I'll go to Calvillo 😂
Hot Water, Mexico lol
Their cake shake though ❤️
What I love about the Hot Dogs in Chicago is that Dark Green Relish they prepare!
@3:44 her face when she eats the fries... I felt that
I went there for the first time last year. Great food. Awesome atmosphere.
you gotta get the Italian beef dipped
I go with both!
The only thing mentioned here that I’d remotely consider eating, it actually looked alright.
That’s what she said
Al’s Beef all day
1st time seeing such a wholesome Hotdog
We have a Portillos here in Cali. I’ve been to the one in Chicago. Exactly the same. Great hot dogs and awesome mud cake is awesome!
Originally from NW Indiana but now in Boise. Nothing here compares to the Portillo’s experience. The dogs are fabulous. When I go back to Chicago, I go to Portillo’s.
Idaho? You have my sympathy.
The host looks just flawless.
I found a Portillo's location in Gurnee when I visited Six Flags Great America in June and had my mind blown by the beef dip and cake shake. I thought it was so good, that I went and got it again a month later when I visited amusement parks in Minnesota. I can only wish that they expand to put a location in Nebraska some day so I don't have to drive as far to find one.
something id eat when im baked.
i droold!
im so honored to have one in moreno valley california
We have one here in Buena Park California . Such a blessing lol
lmao the dude who made it graduated from our school so when we have big evens or sometimes dueling football games he gives us free hotdogs
I love Portillo's and I think it is worth the 45 minute drive for me to go, glad there are a couple here in Cali!
I drive for 45 min each way too. Every Sun night.
I move to Phoenix, AZ from Chicago 6 years ago. I am so glad that since that time Portillo's has built 3 new restaurants near me.
2022: my wife just picked up our chopped salads from here, today. I LOVE it!
Perfection is an overstatement. Standard is more appropriate.
The reason I have for disliking Gordon Ramsay is that everything he 'approves' of is "The most Amazing." I don't know if the bar is low or if he's just a goof.
Cafeteria food, more like sub par.
@@alecnolastname4362 Ramsay has pretty high standards, but whenever he's on camera, he has a habit of overstating things, be it positive or negative.
For example, anytime he'd flambé a dish with alcohol, he'd say " the alcohol LITERALLY just burns off". Which is false, because alcohol never completely burns off.
Then he'd say something like "fillet mignon is packed with flavors", which is also false. Fillets are very soft, but they don't have much flavor, because it's a non working part of a cows body.
Gene and Judes has the best Chicago Hot Dogs.
@@chitownp1noy Jimmy's > Gene and Jude's
I looove Portillos, Chicago dog is 🔥🔥🔥, complete it with a chocolate cake shake or the strawberry shortcake. 🤤🤤
It's unreal!!!!!
I’ve made myself a Chicago dog a few times before and I will admit, it somehow just works, love them.
All the food looks delicious 😋
There's nothing like it! I had one 15 years ago and I still remember it!
I'm from Chicago born and raised. The hot dogs are the best,the fries are delicious and my favorite the Italian beef sandwich to die for. Now I live in Tampa, Florida so happy when they opened one chain here. I'm getting my groove on its taste the same as when I use to enjoy it back home. PORTILLO,S you need to open more chain food places here in Florida.
Beef, hot, sweet, and dipped or soaked. One of the first stops that I make traveling from ORD on the way to visit many relatives in the Chicago area.
Try Full Circle Chicago Pizza in North Tampa.
@@ToddTinley thx will do.
Oh, WOW! Wish we had this in Vancouver, BC!
Thank you for video
1:04 the amount of mustard he put was a disgrace
What was that ..
you speak the truth
Dont get the (artificial) neon green relish 🤷🏽♂️.
That's some hella food coloring to get it that color. Plus anything more than a teaspoon overwhelms the flavor of the dog. Maybe that's the point.
i disagree, i mean look at all that other good stuff that's on there.
@jwka2001 Excuse yourself for your white privilege when it comes to hotdogs please.
Portillo's in Buena park CA and Moreno valley CA if you are in SoCal
I work at the one in mishawaka since 2020. youll prolly see me as i stand out (I wear a silly hat for different occaisions, this month i'm the april fool!) it warms my heart seeing the positive response we get, as our foods great.
Love them!
finally y'all did my favorite restaurant
Portillos is THE best. My favorite restaurant too
Omg I miss this hot dogs so much, they're Italian Beef is great as well!
Went there yesterday for the first time, everything was amazing.
Bought some today. DAMN good!
Look I truly believe that you can find much better hot dogs than Portillos in Chicago. Like going to any Vienna Beef stand.
Ben Haushalter that is true!
The title doesn't say best, it say's the most famous which means it's correct due to the fact it's a chain.
I know I’m just trying to show the tourist that there are better options.
I totally agree
True
Love the dogs, Italian Beef with Hot and Sweet peppers dipped, chocolate cake and shake. The food is fantastic ever time.
looks great
Mediterranean hot-dog style. I love it!
Love Portillo's!! I've only ever had the Italian beef and hot dog. They are so good, that I never want to experiment with something else. I had a cake shake once. It was good, but put me into a sugar coma.
Get double cheeseburger,not regular,DOUBLE. Amazing!
Italian beef from Portillo’s
Hot dog from Jim’s Original
Cheese fries from Culver’s
Cake slice from Molly’s
Beer from Lagunitas
Food is amazing here so good 🔥
Looks so goooooooooood!!!!!
Try the Maxwell Street Polish or the Italian Beef and Sausage with Sweet Peppers...you won't regret it
"There are people who eat at Portillo's 7 days a week". 😳 Those people want diabetes. I love Portillo's but it's definitely a sometimes treat.
Diabeetus
Canadian here 🍁 , portillos still is in my dreams! The Italian Beef was magnifique
Always good ..never a bad meal ..I'm hungry 🎃🤘🍻
I go to the one in Buena Park, CA religiously. The best hotdog I've ever had. It's so tasty. Italian beef sandwiches are amazing as well. Might have to have it for dinner tonight.
It's perfect after a late night at Knott's
Pinks in LA I'm sure beats it no problem.
It’s perfect late night after Disneyland or Wondercon.
Do it! I miss that place soooo much!
@johnm188 I didn't know about the ones in Buena Park!!
And of course Pink's are great 👍
I truly love this place.
WOW~ That's delicious.
Currently eating Portillos while watching this. I'm in heaven
One of my all time favorites!! If I had a big enough stomach and wallet catch me eating the cheese fries, beef and cheddar croissant w/ hot peppers (dipped in the cheese fry cheese), chopped salad no blue cheese, Chicago dog, chocolate shake, chocolate cake (but never the chocolate cake shake) all at once. Though consistency of quality has def gone downhill w/ new owners :(
Welcome to chicago, I go there way too often, 2 hot dogs and a large fry is almost exactly 10 dollars
was there back in may 2019 get that chocolate cake shake. It's wicked good kid lol
I miss these so much ahhhhhh
damn i want one so bad lol
Biker mice from Mars approved! 🐭🐭🐭🌭♥️
LOVE. I understand they are coming to Dallas soon.
I went to the one near Tampa and had myself a polish sausage with sautéed onions and cheese sauce. It was divine.
If she cant eat a hot dog with one bite she isn't the one
The one for what?
@@TykoBrian7 the one for this episode is what was meant.
😂
"If she isnt a glizzy gobbler, I dont want her 🤚😡"
@@corgiwithabowtie1230 words to live by.
I loved Portillos sooooo much. Haven’t eaten them in 4 years and now I’m homesick thanks
Make a Portillo's Road Trip 75 Locations in 9 States. I'm Making One Houston to North Dallas, TEXAS.
looks good..............hope this food chain will become big in the USA in the future
Delicious looking. Yummy
The best hot dog I’ve ever had
jwka2001 how do u like ur hotdogs
jwka2001 actually I’ve eaten more hotdogs than any normal human should consume, and Portillos is still the best one 😋 Love going there so much
The cake shake is the best part
These look delicious
One jumbo dog with everything contains 87% of the recommended daily intake of sodium.
Ah, some summer B roll to tide us over through the new year.
If I ever visit Chicago I will be stopping by here first!
Это определённо должно быть очень вкусно 😍😍😍👍👍
AND WAT IM REALIZING IS THE RESTAURANT BALANCES THE VEGETABLES WITH THE MEAT WHICH IS THE SMARTEST THING A RESTAURANT CAN DO NOT ONLY FOR THE TASTE BUT FOR THE HEALTH 🤔
Um. Are you red tartered?? That thing is not healthy.
c k I DIDNT I SAID FOR THE HEALTH WHY TF DID U COMMENT
@@cellthegreat4365 why are you yelling
c k 🤣🤣🤣YEA U A TROLLER JUST CUZ I TYPE IN ALL CAPS DOESNT MEAN IGAF ABOUT ENGLISH CLASS NOW U PROLLY GOIN SPEAK ON HOW I SHOULD FOH YOU NEED TO GTF WITH YOUR BULL ALL YAA TROLLERS BE DA SAME😂
@@cellthegreat4365 English.
The cake shake is the BEST hands down
We just got one in TX! Excited to try it out! 🙌🏽😊
California too. They’re popping up like mushrooms.
Take the cheeseburger and dip it into the cheese that comes with the cheese fry. It’s absolutely amazing.
Superdawg for dogs! 👍 Portillo’s (or Small Cheval) for 🍔
@Miguel Paiz your trippin superdawg is the best
Superdawg the best
@@CookingwithVROY1790 They used to be great when the hot dogs contained meat....but I am impressed at the wonderful creative ways that soy meal can be flavored and texturized.
Portillos May serve great burgers, but I will forever go there for their hot dogs 🌭 I’ve never had Superdawg before, I’ve heard mixed reviews
Jimmy's in grand for hotdog's
My first job, Had to learn to tie a tie! Good memories!
Portilla's has a good hot dog & Italian beef, but truly Chicago is fortunate to be home to 100's of great hot dog and Italian beef stands. ❤️ from Chicago!
Def not just a tourist trap… the dogs are great. And brought some deconstructed dogs back to San Diego for the family and they loved them.
Yo I can’t keep watching these videos if she is the host, her voice is so grating
Actually her vocal fry is not too bad. Surprisingly.
Looks good to me! 😍
So lucky to have one of these 10 mins from me in California. Their chili cheese dogs are out of this world good.
If you’re ever in Chicago, you absolutely MUST go to Portillos, it’s SO DELICIOUS!! I can’t go near the city without wanting to go. If you’re going, I recommend the fries, the hot dogs (obviously) and the cake. So delicious. You HAVE to go if you’re in Chicago
Kyle: This is one of those regional restaurants that defines a city
Also Kyle: When you think of Whataburger you think of Texas
Last time I checked, Texas was a state...
It’s a overpriced, suburban chain place. It does not define Chicago AT ALL!!
Portillos has to be the most consistent fast food restaurant EVER. Been to over 5 different locations and it’s the exact same every time. The famous 5 are definitely staples.
The sandwiches are also amazing
Love hot dogs 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The best hotdogs I ever eaten
As much as I love Portillos, the hot dog isn’t that special. You could literally get a dog like that anywhere in Chicago. That being said, their food is fantastic.
I firmly disagree! I've had probably 5000+ dogs in the Chicago area (lived there 34 years), and Portillo's makes a flawless one. Ever try SuperDawg?
True. That Nathan's in New York looks different and very promising.
The food is *chefs kiss*
I agree. Their dogs are good, but by no means the best hot dog!
To be honest you can get this exact dog anywhere that sells Vienna Beef. That being said... It's still one of my favorite hot dogs I've ever had. Especially with sauerkraut, fries dipped in thousand island.
We were supposed to have a Portillo’s in Orlando this month but they have not open yet
Great 😋😋😋😋😋😋😊😊😊
I don’t like fresh tomatoes but I’ve had this several times in my life and it is a mind melting taste
Sh*t up and take my money!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It really is the best hot dog! I was there just yesterday in Buena Park!
Glizzy gladiator
Best ever!
I love how the one girl is just snacking on cheese fries🤣🤣🤣
Btw any other Chicagoans here? Portillo’s is one of my favorite fast food joints!👌🤗❤️
Went to Chicago last summer and loved the hotdogs. Is this place better than Devil Dawgz? Plan on visiting again.
💯
The best chain in Chicago, without question. Stellar, consistent quality.
Born and raised in Illinois and I get Portillos all the time. So good.
@@rickmanalwayss I've also been born and raised here in Illinois, chcagonis great, just not as good as the country side
I feel bad, I love mustard and onions on a hot dog but everything else on a Chicago hot dog...I'd eat the pickle on the side but that's it...
@Miguel Paiz I'll take that up one day then haha
@Miguel Paiz Wait...warm beer?...
Grew up with Portillos. It’s the best!
Just found one near me in Florida. Im so going
The “food insider” crew, in the us and the Uk are incredibly dull. They really are
Hotdogs, cheesed out fries and chocolate cake, sounds like a healthy diet.
Incredibly healthy
