    Thank you for reminding people that Chicago isn't just a Midwest city that eats hot dogs all day. People forgot that we're the third largest city in the country and a huge international hub, which means we have such a vast array of food options and things are super fresh since they are coming off planes hours after being caught or harvested. My previous job included planning events for international business owners who were looking to put an American location in Chicagoland, and they were always shocked at some of the authentic cuisines we had. My favorite was the man who had actually cried because the Chinese restaurant in the suburbs I took them too was close enough to what he grew up eating that it reminded him how much he missed home.

    I wish I could like this multiple times, just for Portillo’s! :) Note for when you are refilling your freezer: Portillo’s ships kits for hot dogs, beef sandwiches, Italian and Polish sausages, and more. (I’m from the Oak Brook area and was raised with Portillo’s as a weekly dinner out. Now that I live in a completely different state, I order Portillo’s shipments 1-2 times a year.) I’m so happy you enjoyed their food so much!

      he pulls it off. it seems like with gym effort, so maybe cutting calories isnt the answer for you and maybe the answer is less sedentary living. imho it makes you healthier mentally and physically to compensate via kinetic energy when maintaining weight as opposed to reducing intake. obvious outlier exceptions to this opinion exist and i recognize that.

    I'm shocked you never had portillo's. Best Italian beef ever! So disappointed you didn't get it with pepper! I was surprised how slow it was too, Usually there's like a line of cars at the drive thru. Go try Joy Yee Noodles, Best Asian fusion place in the city!!!!

    Fun fact: One of the secret ingredients used in that chocolate cake at Portillo's is something that most people wouldn't ever CONSIDER putting in cake.
    .
    .
    .
    It's MAYO!
    Mayonnaise, simply put, is a pre-made emulsion of oil, eggs, and an acid, and the texture helps keep the cake moist but retain it's shape.
