    Went to graduate school in Chicago and also lived there for approx. 15 years. Didn’t really eat many Italian beef sandwiches when I was there. But the other day I saw that there was a Portillo’s that opened up in my new city (Denton, TX) and decided to go. I got one of those beefs with the sausage. It was delicious. Now I regret not having more of these when I lived in Chicago.

The hotdogs are great the Maxwell street polish is pretty good nothing like a original one from JT/Jim's JT is a Chicago thang ! The burgers are char broiled and good honestly don't sleep on da ribs either . Best deserts are all of them imo and gotta get a chocolate cake shake . Oh and get a combo too ! Italian beef and Italian sausage omg extra dipped sweet and hot with a splash of marinara

    Portillos does not make the best Italian beef or Chicago hot dogs in Chicago, but they are reliably good, which is why they are everywhere. It's a chain and those restaurants are seemingly on every street corner. Every Portillos has a huge line at the drive through that moves incredibly fast.

She told she’ll be moving to Chicago to be with me in a week. I’m so nervous I don’t know what to say when we finally meet! Although she sent me a video saying “can we hug like this when we meet?” And I said “of course babe! I can’t wait to see you next week!” And she said “me too because I felt so lonely and alone but next week I’m gonna move to Chicago to be with you so when it’s time for us to sleep, we can cuddle. Anyway, I gtg bc packing will take about 5 days. Love you babe” and I said “love you too darling” I love her so much💖💝💗💛❤️🫶🏻💍💎🤍🥰
