pleeeeaaaase don't play with us here.... Will it be next to the new White Castle and Cosco? When reading this, my mind immediately went to an image and taste of their 'combo' - italian sausage with italian beef in that great italian bread, I always got extra juice/gravy to dip every bite in.

Hmm, think I just gained a 1/2 lb....

If this IS true it will be a huge moneymaker. ciao'.

Default Hot Dogs

For my 70th birthday my wife ask me what I wanted. I told her I wanted a Chicago Hot Dog, and go to the Shedd Aquarium. She bought plane tickets and off we went. Best Portillo's Hot dog I ever had. Standing in front of the big tank at the aquarium always makes me feel young again. Best Birthday ever. I hope you're right about Portillo's. Len

Why didn't you just stop and ask them what is going in there?

We have been to the Portillos in Tampa and Brandon and they are great. A new one has been built in Orlando, but they keep pushing out their opening date for some reason.

Have been to the first Portillos (many years ago!) which was just a few miles from where I grew up in Villa Park. Just....run it through the garden!

Please don't let it be a Portillo's... much rather have the Ford's Garage. Portillo's, while good, is just a fast food restaurant with no beer and no live music. It would a waste of a perfect setup to put a fast food restaurant there.

FYI, I sent an email to Portillo's regarding a new restaurant in The Villages. Here was their reply:

Hello,
Nothing official has come about for that area. If it did, we would send out a press release through our website and social media sites.
Thank You,

Mike

Sounds like you don't really need food

Never been to a Portillo's without an ice cold beer.
