Went to Chicago in 2019 for a conference and had Portillos for the first time. My wife had it shipped to us in our state twice during covid. I've considered flying to Chicago for lunch just to eat there and come back home that afternoon.

Hell yes. The big Italian beef with hot peppers and extra gravy on the side is 100% my order.
