I saw “chocolate cake shake” and immediately thought Gabriel Iglesias
-
I work at Portillos. The amount of cake we put into the shake depends on the ounce size- 16oz gets half a slice, 32oz gets a full slice. Maybe too sweet because you put too much cake/syrup in for how big the glass was? Anyway, great recreation. Mayo was a great catch, you guys do your research.

this milkshake has lived rent-free in my head for years now, appearing occasionally in the summer when my brain is crying out for a big load of sugar. the idea of gulping down an entire slice of chocolate cake just appeals to me
-
Honestly you could do a series on Chicagoland foods. Jibaritos, Maxwells, like four kinds of pizza unique to the city that nobody ever hears about, chicken vesuvio, rib tips, cake shakes, Italian beef, flaming saginaki, mild sauce chicken, the gym shoe, the rainbow cone… It just goes on and on.

As a Chicago native and a former Portillo's employee, this episode brings a tear of pride to my eye.
-
Fluffy’s standup routine on the chocolate cake shake is the whole reason I had to go visit Porrillos the first opportunity that I had.
-
One of the underrated things about Alvin's videos is when he splits it with everyone at the end so they can take home a piece. Idk why, but I love it
-
I always love that the end of Alvin's videos is just "I made sure everyone got some." I know you all work together and thus everything is up for grabs once filming wraps but it is just such a great moment to include.

During the summer they do a strawberry shake with lemon cake and it is DELICIOUS
-
7oz of 70% chocolate - "Some will be used in the cake, some of it in the frosting" (the rest in Alvin)
-
PORTILLOS!!!!! Every time we go to Illinois, nom nom nom!!!!!!!!
-
I prefer it when Alvin has guests like Andrew on his channel.
-
I saw "chocolate cake shake" and immediately thought, "Heck yes, Portillos!"
-
“I’m tired of chewing but I still want to eat this cake so I’m gonna make it into a drink”
-
They do this sorta thing at an ice cream shop in Philly called the Franklin Fountain. It’s their “Hot Milkshake” selection, served from late fall to spring.
-
This is just like Gorbino's Quest. This is the Gorbino's Quest of Babish.
-
In the original video at 1:24 there’s a gold medal brand chocolate cake mix in the back, and they use store bought fudge frosting, so if you want to make it at home and similarly to to the original, you can
-
Alvin with an all time episode idea
-
Ah yes, the cake shake. As if a normal milkshake isn't indulgent enough. But man is it tasty!
-
“I have now made another mess.” This is also me in the kitchen. 😂
