About Portillo’s:
Established in 1963, Dick Portillo invested $1,100 into a small trailer to open the first Portillo’s hot dog stand in Villa Park, Ill., which he called “The Dog House.”
Today, Portillo’s is a beloved restaurant concept with more than 60 locations across nine states.
Portillo’s is known for its famous Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, chopped salads, cheese fries, homemade chocolate cake, and shakes.
Portillo’s Italian beef is slow-roasted for four hours before being thinly sliced and served on freshly baked French bread. Guests can then opt to have it “dipped” in hot gravy made with Portillo’s homemade blend of seasonings that they have been perfecting for 50 years, or have it served “dry” with just a hint of gravy.
Italian beef tastes best topped with Portillo’s homemade, oven-roasted sweet peppers or hot giardiniera peppers.
Portillo’s famous homemade, fluffy chocolate cake is baked fresh each morning in the restaurant. Each double-layer chocolate cake is generously iced with two pounds of rich, chocolate frosting.
Portillo’s offers a one-of-a-kind Chocolate Cake Shake that combines its delicious, thick shakes with an entire slice of its decadent chocolate cake.
