    OMG - I saw this post and it stopped me in my tracks!!!

    I haven't lived in Buffalo Grove, IL for 13 years BUT I literally can taste the italian beef (double dip), a hot dog (love the "snap") and those great fries RIGHT NOW - I am salivating.

    I have lived all over the world and NO place has had a beef sandwich that compares to Portillos or Mr. Beef - I would blow all my calories or run for miles to have an Italian beef right now!!!

    Thanks for the memories :flowerforyou:

    I'm aware of the badness that Portillo's offers me nutritionally, but oh my, it still makes me drool to think about it. Mmmm.

    My sister and I ate at the Patio in OrlandPark I wasn't as strong as you I ate the fries love them, the Patio has the best fries I can't say no but it was a Birthday treat.
    OMG love the Patio too! Agree on those fries:smile:

    Had the pleasure of watching my son wolf down his chocolate cake shake. Don't even want to think about that nutritional info :-)

    aha I've gained 12 lbs working at the patio for 2 years! :drinker:

    that chocolate cake shake looks like diahhrea :sick:

    I hit Portillo's about twice a year for an italian beef, dipped, cheese, no peppers.

    It's worth every. freaking. bite.

    I live in BG and get the chopped salad (no cheese) regularly but I do miss the beef and cheddar croissant and cheese fries. I haven't checked the calories for both because I don't want to know how many I consumed without even a thought :ohwell:
