Portillio's Hot Dogs and Fries

What: Portillio's Hot Dogs and Fries
Why it's my one of my favorite things:  In my many moves, I have searched and searched for place to buy a "real" Chicago hot dog like Portillio's, however I have been unsuccessful. A real Chicago hot dog includes: poppy seed bun, mustard, tomato, peppers, pickle, onion, and relish. While many have tried by topping a hot dog with all the correct ingredients, the key to the best Chicago style hot dog is the DOG! At Portillo's you will find the dog is perfectly prepared and is slender. The fries are outstanding!  A taste you will not forget!

Pros: Tastes great. Excellent price and filling.
Cons: Mostly in the Chicagoland areas. Dogs can be shipped and they are good, but not the same as the actual dogs at the restaurant.
How: Visit one of the Chicagoland (a few stores in IN and CA) locations or visit http://www.portillos.com/ to find a location near you.
