When it comes to the Chicago-style hot dog, one of the most popular places to take a bite is Portillo’s. In true Chicago form, Portillo’s proper hot starts with a Vienna beef hot dog, which is covered in a savory salad of traditional toppings, including mustard, relish, freshly chopped onions, peppers, sliced ripe tomatoes and a pickle, and then stuffed into a steamed poppy seed bun. Burgers, fries, chicken sandwiches, shakes and malts round out the nearly encyclopedic menu.
