Re: #32: @eastunder - Interesting. Thanks!

No problem. The website doesn't really do them justice. The newer restaurants are massive and all decked out on the inside with memorabilia and neon. They staff probably 20 people inside most of the time but the kitchens are so large that everyone has room to move and do their job.

When I go next time I'll remind myself to snap some pictures inside for you. There's one a couple miles from my house that I drive by sometimes depending on where I'm working that day. I'll get you some drive thru shots too.

The only out of state location I've been to was in Wisconsin and it was the same routine there except, they had bratwurst and cheese curds on the menu along with all the other Chicago style goodies. It wasn't as busy as the ones around here but was still humming better than the McDonalds. That was also a couple years ago and the store was only a few months in so, who knows by now.

It's how it has always been. They started as a carry out place so they probably just kept the tradition.

Most of the smaller hot dog/beef places around here do the same thing, though nearly not on the scale that Portillos does it on.

yes. Even when you dine in the restaurant they wrap the sandwiches, serve the food in to go containers and bagged up just like it would be at the drive-thru. You could carry it right out the door if you changed your mind and decided not to sit.

Always a big line. Then you pull up to the drive thru and see employee on top of employee in masks... and you know what?

We just want good junk food.

If this is dropping on pandemic fears then it's a really good buy here. The drive-thrus and carry outs are where the action is at. I've seen them 50 cars deep at non-peak times but they take your order while you're in line and it's ready by the time you get to the window so the wait time would be normal for a freshly prepared meal, or maybe a little longer if you are the last in line, but people don't seem to care..

The dine-in is nice but it's not a big loss if they have to shut that down. The people will just be in the line of cars or order ahead and pick it up curbside like I did during the first outbreak. Their alcohol sales are marginal so no loss there.

Once again, not going public but the food literally kicks ass. Don't be ashamed we're all gonna get fat at some point. I just run too much to give a shit.

Re: #19: @eastunder - 4th on the list?

Well, I live around this city so it's not a prayer from me. There are other beef sandwiches that I throw into the bath water, but like I said, I grew up here so I'm a little judgmental.

I'm still kind of pissed that my local beef stand got canceled but I still enjoy Portillo's and I'm hoping that others enjoy it too.

I wouldn't have kicked in a bunch of dough if I thought it wouldn't make a Chicago style pizza. We're all here just sharing.

I'm glad you love portillos but there are smaller places that do better. I'm just a homer so I don't care.

I have the best and there's no hitch. Porty comes in at number four but I still bought their stock. They do really have good hot dogs, but I can't stand those fucking things so I bump them down the list.

I wish they were a franchise. I'm in a giving mood and my son and Law probably would have enjoyed that gift! ;)

I do like the look of their beef bus.

Now that's a concept. It even has its own instagram

yes, I was waiting because I knew the IPO would have its dips. I had an order in and it got filled much like my beef sandwich and chocolate cake. smile

They are going to be a hit, regardless of what my hillJack brother in law thinks.

I'm still a little uneasy but I think I did good without having to dip into the IPO. They have some really kick ass hot dogs too. Nothing like anyone else gets to taste. It's one of a kind and that's a businesses that I'm glad to put my money behind.

No shame, full bellies.

Re: #2: @bowlfan912 - Place is a gold mine in illinois. Good

I've been to a couple outside of Illinois in the midwest and they are booming there too.

https://www.portillos.com/locations/

I'm kind of spoiled growing up around Chicago with all the mom and pop shops so I think that they are overpriced for their portions but the food is outstanding and they never seem to not play to a packed house.

I also like that they suit their menus to a little homestyle flair. For instance, the Wisconsin locations have a pretty kick ass bratwurst that you can't get here in Chi-town but they still bring our home cooking with them.

I hope they do well. I've been going there for the better part of 25 years and my only complaint is when it's time to open my wallet lol, which is good for a shareholder as long as the consumer is willing.
