"I compared Portillo’s at 100 W. Ontario Street to Al’s and ordered a double-dipped Italian beef with hot peppers and cheese sauce for $8.20; someone initially forgot the hot peppers so my first bite earned a 3/10, but once the peppers were added the sandwich improved to a 5/10. There’s some confusion in the video about calling this the “OG location” even though the clip shows the large River North outpost rather than the original suburban founding site." - Naomi Waxman
