Chicago Street Food Chain Portillo’s May Open First Michigan Restaurant | Eater Detroit

"A Chicago-based street-food chain has submitted a site plan to Sterling Heights proposing a drive-thru restaurant as a 230-seat metro Detroit outpost. The chain is best known for Chicago dogs and Italian beef and operates more than 60 locations nationwide, though the closest sites to Detroit are currently across the Indiana state line. It registered as a business entity in Michigan in January, and the city is expected to review the proposal in March. The plan cites 14425 Lakeside Circle as the potential location, but company representatives declined to confirm concrete plans." - Brenna Houck
