Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef & chocolate cake shakes
"What To Get: Char dog, cheese fries, chocolate cake shake. What To Know: The original stand opened in 1963, the River North location opened in 1994, and now Portillo's is a national chain. It's a tourist-filled restaurant with indoor seating and a drive-thru, but it’s a classic." - adrian kane, john ringor, nick allen, veda kilaru
"You can have Portillo’s delivered. Or, you can experience the thrill of having an Italian beef thrown in your car while you speed through the drive-thru." - adrian kane
"Portillo’s can do no wrong. This is our go-to spot in River North for hot dogs, Italian beef, and cheese fries. Don’t skip the chocolate cake shake." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"There’s a reason the chocolate cake at Portillos is unironically served at rich-people’s weddings. It’s delicious. And it, plus an Italian beef and a side of crinkle fries covered in cheese sauce, makes a pretty perfect birthday meal." - adrian kane
"Portillo’s has some of the best Italian beef in Chicago, and if it’s ever on your lunch short list, you should probably just forget about whatever else you were considering and come here. Get an Italian beef and a Chicago-style hot dog, and spend the rest of your $15 on chocolate cake shakes." - adrian kane
