  • Portillo's of Kissimmee just reopened and as avid hot dog fans we've been excited to try out this Chicago take on a classic New York staple. We try out some of their most notable items like The Chocolate Cake Shake, Chicago Hot Dog, Chopped Salad, and Hot Beef Sandwich (w/extra gravy!). The décor of the restaurant is reminiscent of the 1950s, with era accurate music playing in the background as well as artifacts that reflect the time period on the walls. There's even a car on the ceiling. As usual, we rate what we ate from 1 to 10 and see if this new Chicago establishment is our new go-to hot dog spot.

      That's such a cool fact! Thanks for sharing 😃. Definitely pinning this comment. With a chain as good as this I'm sure the yacht and house were massive 😆.

    Portillo's is just about the only chain I've ever seen that keeps the quality absolutely top-tier no matter where they are located

    • @ThemeParkFoodies
      @ThemeParkFoodies  Рік тому +2

      We've gone back multiple times since this video and can attest to the quality not slipping over time too. I actually had the chance to speak to the GM who told me they relocate and train all managers at another location before opening a new one, then staff is trained for weeks before opening. It really is incredible how quality and efficient everything is here.

    This place looks so fun! Love all of the theming. I’ve never heard of it before but this looks fun and nice and close to the parks. That salad looks good! Definitely a good portion. The hot Italian beef looks good! I loooove pickles so sign me up for that pickle hot dog haha. Mayonnaise in the cake/shake?! Hahaha! Never heard of that before lol but if it makes it good LOL! Awesome that it really does take like chocolate cake and not just a chocolate milk shake. Looks like an awesome spot! Thanks for sharing you guys! 😊💜 another great video!

      Thank you 😃, Portillo's is more so a Chicago staple. Honestly, I(Jay) wasn't really aware of it before moving. It was so good. We've actually been back twice since this video and after a few tries are considering here our favorite local spot for a quick bite. This particular location is really convenient to hit up since it's really close to Disney. Great portion sizes too!

    We love Portillos! We live in Michigan and they opened one here about 2 years ago. It's always busy. I'm glad you guys get to enjoy it now. I know they opened a Jollibees near you, have you tried that yet?

    • @ThemeParkFoodies
      @ThemeParkFoodies  Рік тому +2

      We’ve already gone back since our first visit! We’ve been wanting to try Jollibee for awhile, they were opening one in NJ when we’re still in NY but it got delayed and we didn’t get to go. Excited to check it out in Fl 😎

    Born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago. Salad is usually go to to. But the onion rings, mostaccioli, bacon burger, chocolate cake & chocolate cake shake is amazing.

    I just came here to say yes to all of it. I want all of it. 🙈 We finally got to try this place in September and OMG the hype was real for me. We need to try the hotdogs next time but the hot Italian I had was so flavorful! That chopped salad looks legit! And I'm so glad they opened one up by property. That means we could prob door dash it to the hotels 😂 I used to make my brownies with Mayo and it does indeed make them super moist and soft. And the little Frank dog mascot is super cute. ❤️

    • @ThemeParkFoodies
      @ThemeParkFoodies  Рік тому +1

      I am a believer in mayo induced desserts now. That cake shake was next level. We were seeing Door Dashers there so it definitely sounds logistically possible to get that sent to a Disney hotel! Margaritaville is literally within walking distance. The hype was real to us too 😆. Everything was so good. We recommend getting the Hot Dog next time. That was my favorite. Frank as the mascot was the cherry on top. They earned our business 🐕.

    My uneducated non-foodie self thought that Portillo’s was a Chicago ONLY chain until this video! 😂 We tried it when we were in Chi-town for a wedding and thought it was terrific, but we had to eat it in the car because the dining rooms were still closed during peak COVID. If this new location is anything to go by, I feel like the interior decor is half the experience! 🤩 I’m intrigued by any salad that clears a 7. Crinkle cuts are the second best fry after curly fries, imo, but to each their own lol Mayonnaise in cake and milkshakes? 😱 Jay’s reaction was on point! Great video, guys. Can’t wait to try a Mayo shake sometime! 😂

    • @ThemeParkFoodies
      @ThemeParkFoodies  Рік тому +1

      I have a fued with crinkle cut fries man ☠️. The best crinkle cut anyone has ever had was when they were between the ages of 7 and 10 with dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets. They're pre-frozen nostalgia and have been coasting off their legend. Steak, curly, shoe-string, wedges, fresh cut; all are superior. But I'm happy you enjoy them and accept that we all have different flavors. Portillo's does in fact live up to the hype. To be honest, I didn't know they existed outside Chicago until this one was built 😆. Although I may have seen Adam the Woo's Orlando vlog. The decor here was definitely a trip. Worth a stop if you guys are ever in town. Mayonnaise desserts are apparently great. Thank you!

    If you want really good chicago style hot dogs, you have to goto "Navy Pier" in Chicago, you won't regret it. Now, while at Portillo, make sure, your guys try the "Maxwell street Polish Street hot dogs", it's really good. I use to live in Illinois. :)

    • @ThemeParkFoodies
      @ThemeParkFoodies  3 місяці тому +1

      BTW, there's a secret trick for getting free drinks if you guys decide to go inside Disney World. Don't tell anyone. If you bring empt bottles inside the theme park, you guys can get "free ice water" at any of their restaurants instead of paying $5 or $6 bucks for soda at their rip off prices. :)@@ThemeParkFoodies

    Portillo's beef should always be dipped! A couple sides of gravy is a must!! They also have great onion rings! 😊 The mayo is in the cake... Mayonnaise is made from eggs and oil, also in cakes.. 😅

    Portillo’s for life! Living in Chicago suburbs, I go multiple times a month as there all over here. Best Chicago dog and Maxwell St. polish, chopped salad is amazing, onion rings and cheese fries are the bomb and you haven’t lived until you had their chocolate cake washed down with a vanilla malt. Nothing here is bad! Theming at all locations by me is all 1930’s Chicago speakeasy Al Capone mob stuff with model T inside

    • @ThemeParkFoodies
      @ThemeParkFoodies  3 місяці тому

      Honestly I did ask for peppers on this one but I think they made a mistake. Usually I don't eat peppers because my stomach can't handle them but I make exceptions for the vlog. When it came without I figured it was best for me anyway. Although I have had it with peppers since and I agree it's 🔥.

      try Al's beef if you ever get a chance in Chi.. Funny thing is I thought Chicago food was everywhere and then my gaming friends are telling me they don't know a lot of foods we eat here.. Then I go to other cities and man some of them I feel like don't know what spices do to your taste buds to help bring out more flavor out of other foods.... I would also get gravy on the side and added to each bite.... sorry just thought of that... Take care bud@@ThemeParkFoodies
