I always thought Portillos was way overrated myself, but my experience with Orlando was the only place to get good food was at Disney World...so Portillos is easily Top 5 there.

I think its like a comfort food for people that dont have access to it every day like us. I honestly dont even remember the last time I dined at Portillos.

That's actually not true at all. Orlando has a really good food scene, you just need to know where to look. It's not Chicago, but it's WAY better than people think.
Hey out-of-town dumbasses, Orlando actually has great restaurants

Also, re the original topic, I'm glad a Portillos is opening up, but wish it wasn't all the way down in LBV.
These have been my go to hot dog places:
There are a few, but far between. @Jamais Vu is right, you get spoiled seeing Vienna signs hung out literally everywhere. Definitely comfort food for me.

The Orlando Weekly actually printed that article with the title "Hey out-of-town dumbasses, Orlando actually has great restaurants"That's actually not true at all. Orlando has a really good food scene, you just need to know where to look. It's not Chicago, but it's WAY better than people think.

Speaking of dining in Orlando, I stupidly went online to see if my wife and i could do the whole eat with the Disney Princesses with our daughter. I signed up for 2037. She will be 30 then and maybe have her own daughter???That's actually not true at all. Orlando has a really good food scene, you just need to know where to look. It's not Chicago, but it's WAY better than people think.

Yeah, it's insane. I knew the waiting list was long for that, but not that long.

Portillos is alright. When we land in Chicago later and are heading out to be with family it's an easy stop for a beef and a dog.
Certainly there are better spots but it'll do.

It's not too pricey. I think i saw like 50 for adults and 30 for kids. So added inflation for 2037, that'll be 95 for adults and 55 for kids.

LMAO @ that article title....like they knew I was talking smack a thousand miles away.
I should have added that my Orlando experience was over twenty years ago...so WTF do I know. I made some bad assumptions that it was still wall to wall chain joints and for that I apologize, Orlando.
