Where's The Beef
I did the unthinkable Thuesday. I stopped at Portillos before our volleyball game. I didn't have the beef sandwich or its artery stuffing cousin the beef and cheddar croissant. I didn't have a Maxwell style Polish sausage. I didn't even have the hot dog which is where the whole franchise began.
Nope, I had a burger. A double cheese burger to be exact. I've been told they have great burgers. In fact, IIRC, some organization ranked the Portillos' burger in the top 5 in Chicago.
It was a good burger, a pretty darn good burger in fact. But as I was eating it I kept thinking, this is a double Whopper w/ cheese. If you're in a burger mood it is a fine choice when you're at Portillos but I can think of a lot of places that have a better burger. It certainly wasn't a top 5 burger.

Why can't there be a Portillo's here in the middle of nowhere?
Iwanski would disagree with you. Portillo's burger might even be his #1 choice.
As for me, I've tasted the burger there, but I'm far too healthypants to eat a whole one by myself. *smiles*
