Portillos blows.

Plastic fries. Burgers that are cooked harder than hockey pucks. dried out beef.

It's a place for tourists that dont know where to get a good Chicago dog

Except they have very successful stores in non-tourist areas so that makes you wrong on yet another level.

NOT REALLY. Portillos has suburban stores filled with people that dont know a Chicago Hot dog.

Notice that the only city of Chicago stores they have are in downtown tourist areas. They have no stores in the Chicago neighborhoods where authentic burger/dog shops are located. Wonder why? Cause a Portillos would die in the neighborhoods cause there aren't any tourists. Idiot

Like Elgin?

They are all over the region and in 7 states. They are obviously quite popular and successful. You might not like them doesn’t make them bad. And you are making a foolish argument. Go away.

White castle is popular too doesnt mean they are good

I learned many years ago not to confuse popular with good.

Again, ask yourself why Portillos isnt in the Chicago neighborhoods?

There is one in elgin because there isnt another similar place within 5 miles. DUH

Triggered by a fast food restaurant? I never said they were good I said they were popular and successful. I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat there but would prefer it to something like McDonalds or BK. The fact that you don’t like them isn’t going to change anyone’s mind once they consider the source. I realize these places are at your limit of culinary understanding and appreciation.

Edit: Go away.
