    I love how they say “so fresh” like this shit didn’t just come from a jar
  • Born and raised in Chicago, moved away a decade or so ago. I was never a Portillo's fan while living there, I would always just go to a neighborhood place and grab one. That being said, once you move away Portillo's tends to be one of the few places that you can get a taste of home and it not be butchered beyond belief.

    3:45 Why does that sound like p hub music? Don't ask me for knowing it.

    I just came back from visiting Chicago for the first time. I never understood the appeal of the Chicago hotdog with all those ingredients, but after taking a bite, I have converted.

    “That dog, was the snappiest snap I’ve ever had.” That just about sums it up.

    Johnny NCT said that Chicago people eat their hot dog with everything else except ketchup and he’s right 😂 this is new for me

    Dec.1998. I got married and me and my Wife ran out of food during the reception, so her and I went to Gene and Judes. She could not get out of the car due to her wedding gown so I went in wearing my Tuxedo. Everyone stared and I said that we ran out of food at our wedding. Folks in line and the Manager were so cool that they let me in front while waving at my wife. They gave us 8 hot dogs on the house. We went to our apartment so hungry that we ate so fast that we realized we still had our wedding clothes on. Thanks, Gene and Jude's!

    I'm so hungry rn and its 2 AM for me.
  • Fun fact: Superdawg was displayed in a report about Hot-dogs by PBS about 25 years ago. And the 2 dawgs on the top were already there. Amazing!
