Portillo's has a large menu. I would not consider it fast food, but yet in a way it is. Chocolate cake is made with mayo, that's why it's so good. They will do a huge business once people try them as they are a Chicago tradition. Started from a food truck and grew massively. They had a food truck at Edna's for a couple of days but were called back to Chicago because the pandemic was heating up. Most people in line were familiar with Portillo's and loving it. Others ate at the Mexican food truck because they weren't sure what Portillo's was. I was elated and the sandwiches large and filled with tasty thin sliced beef, great Italian style au jus on Italian style bread. They can be ordered juicy for extra flavor with sweet green peppers or hot Italian peppers in oil which are not readily available in Fl. Try it - much better than anything around trying to replicate Portillos.
