Portillo's overrated??

Blasphemy!!!!

Not really....there's nothing incredibly special about it. It's basically a gigantic indoor hotdog stand with some other things on the menu. I'm not saying the food isn't good. I'm just saying it's not some Chicago institution. If I'm going to Chicago and looking for places to eat to get the Chicago "experience" etc, Portillo's isn't on the list. I basically just use it as hangover food after a wedding.
