Portillo’s Hot Dogs

I’m a Chicago tourist pure and true.  For Chicago-style hot dogs, I had two places on my list of possabilities, and SuperDawg was too far away. The other one was Portillo’s.

Well, my Chicago lunch companion approved, and thus we dined.

Order at the counter, scoot over to pick up area and loiter around until the numbers are randomly called. The number caller will serve up an extra side of sass if you don’t *race* up and grab your food within microseconds.

I have an odd fascination with both hot dogs and cheese sauce, and coincidentally I ordered the all beef dog and cheese fries. I had no idea I’d get a little tub of cheese sauce just like the kind I normally fawn over. This was a match made in heaven.
