"Technically Portillo’s is a chain that exists in six other states. But it started here in Chicago, and there’s a good chance your cousin (and hopefully future on-call babysitter) doesn’t have access to this delicious Italian beef where they live, not to mention the Portillo’s chocolate cake. Take them to the one in River North with a drive-thru and use the wait time to demonstrate how to secure the car seat." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
