It is my tradition to visit Portillo's for a Hot Dog and Italian Beef Sandwich every time I visit Chicago.  While my Wife is not a fan, I crave the warm Italian Beef with Spicy and Hot Peppers and then the bite and flavor of a Chicago Dog.  A perfect harmony of flavors and textures.  I already want to go back for more!

Whenever I visit Chicago there is always at least one stop at Portillo's.  I love the Italian Beef Sandwich and Chicago Style Hot Dogs.  We learned that they opened a location in California so I made it a point to drive to Buena Park to introduce my Wife and Daughter to one of my favorite restaurants.  While it did not blow away my Wife and Daughter, I thought the food was great.  Only complaint that my Italian Beef had very little Hot Peppers.  I would have liked much more and next time I will ask for double the Hot Peppers.  Flavor of the Beef was excellent and the bread was worth the carbs.  The Chicago Style Hot Dog was PERFECT.  Loved it and so did my Wife.  My Daughter got the Plant Based Garden Dog and was amazed that she could not tell the difference from a regular Dog.  My Wife took a bite and agreed.  The Plant Based Hot Dog got rave reviews especially when paired with the Sport Peppers, Pickle, Tomato and Green Relish.  While this did not rock my world like when I eat Portillo's in Chicago, it was darn good.

Portillo's has become a must go spot when I visit Chicago.  The Italian Beef Sandwich here is one of my favorite sandwiches on the planet.  I was forced to visit Portillo's twice on this trip.  The first time I was waiting in line for about half an hour.  An employee came up and took my order in line and wrote it on a bag.  I ordered an Italian Sandwich and a Hot Dog.  After waiting another half hour to get our food, we opened the bag and found an Italian Sausage Sandwich and Hot Dog.  No Italian Beef!  Rather than wait in line again we just ate what was given to us even though it was the wrong order.  The Italian Sausage with Hot Peppers, Dipped and Mozzarella Cheese ($5.90) was good but kind of depressing because I was craving the Italian Beef Sandwich so much.  The Chicago Dog with Everything ($3.09) was delicious.  One of my favorite dogs in Chicago.  Love the soft Poppy Seed Bun.  This was satisfying but not having the Italian Beef made this visit a bummer.  So what to do?  Go back on another day - Wait in line again and get than damn Italian Beef.  I did....

The Italian Beef with Hot Peppers, XT Gravy and Mozzarella ($7.14) delivered on every level.  Wow..what a sandwich.  Every component is delicious.  Plenty of Beef drenched in Gravy with a load of Hot Peppers and topping of Mozzarella Cheese.  I sat alone on the patio and savored each and every bite.  Surrounded by tourists and locals I was in a zone with me and my Italian Beef as one.

There seemed to be no-one around me, no cars and no sound.  Just me and my Portillo's Italian Beef.  One of the best sandwiches on the planet.
