There are two locations somewhat equidistant from me (further west into the Chicago suburbs), and it is so tempting... every time...
One of these -- the closer to me -- has twin drive-through lanes and, a few weeks ago (while I sat inside), I watched an incredibly coordinated team of servers tirelessly deal with the seemingly endless two lines of cars. They did an amazing amount of business while I was there .
Yeah, Ed and I had lunch there every day during the Meet! Their chili dogs and onion rings were awesome! And the drive through line ups were nuts, I've never seen anything like it!

It was a little strange to not to hit Ted's on the way home, but Three days of Portillo's Hot Dogs were more than good consolation.
I always get the Maxwell Street polish sausage. I first found out about Portillo's when I went to my first Kane county toy show over a decade ago. They have several locations around the Chicago area. I was elated to see one by the hotel!!!!
Slowly, but surely, Portillo's is expanding. About a year ago, they opened one up in the Phoenix area. My best friend from childhood, who has been living out there for about a decade, nearly wept with joy.
Right now, it's mostly Illinois with a couple in CA, AZ, and IN. Good, reasonably priced, and fast. Definitely lucky to live within 5 miles of two different ones.
