But you keep buying those $9 hot dogs. We deplorables will save our money.

Zero interest in a loaded hot-dog.

I just checked - a hotdog with chili, American cheese, and onions at Portillo's is $5.49. It's steamed, and the bun has poppy seeds on it, which I'd have to scrape off because they get stuck under my dental bridge. And American cheese with chili? That's - pretty gross. So yeah I'll stick with my grilled dog with chili and cheddar cheese and onion and no seeds that's closer to home.

We visited the one in Claremont last week and were underwhelmed. It wasn't worth the ride.

I don’t get it. It’s fast food, with menu items from $3-16. It not a sit down venue. If one isn’t happy with most fast food, this venue may not be for you.

I grew up with Portillos, and they were fantastic. They were also a great catering option for informal parties and bbqs. I haven’t had their food since old man Portillo sold it a few years ago. I heard the quality isn’t quite the same since they went national, but we are still excited to try this new location when the hype dies down.

Anyone remember when Portillos had a food truck down at Edna’s? The line was about a block long and they ran out of food early in the day. The other trucks had virtually no business.

Do you really think changing food intake at late stages of life will increase lifespan?

If one has alway enjoyed moderation of foods, occasionally fast food isn’t going to kill you.

We rarely eat processed food, but those who only grew up with processed anything, its still their choice.
