We had a production near Six Flags and we decided to treat the crew to a good old fashion Portillo’s dinner!

Friends gave me significant side-eye for traveling to Chicagoland, hitting up a famous *hot dog* joint and … … ordering a burger. A *rodeo*/bbq burger, at that. 🤣(We’re from Texas (sorry) )
Your loss, friends - that burger was a banger! 😍 13/10 would order again.
MY only mistake was not leaving room for chocolate cake/shake.
NO RAGERTS!!

I don't like on the order machine you can't upgrade your drink to a shake and just pay more. So I had to cancel my meal and order the fries separate and than the shake. So you don't get the deal.
