I've never heard of Portillo's but would certainly give it a try if it ever came to Austin.

I can't keep track of all the places you can go to. IMO, the best fast food burgers are freshly griddled, with a slice of cheese. A good pickle is the best topping. Griddled onions also acceptable. A good sauce is a nice option but not mandatory if the cheese is melty enough. The bun should be griddled, hopefully in butter. Missing any of these components and your burger is second rate at best.

There are some things that are very Chicago-specific to look for, if you have places local that specialize in Chicago foods. 

I can't vouch for this place but it looks to be close to you: http://www.wiseguyschicago.com/menu1.html

The options to try would be:

  • Italian Beef sandwich (preferable to order "wet" w/ hot giardinera instead of sweet peppers, cheese or no cheese per your preference)
  • Maxwell Street Polish
  • Chicago Dog
  • Italian Sausage sandwich, or even the combo beef & sausage

Yeah, good show! Looking forward to Season 2. 

For those who haven't watched it, for some reason Hulu used the word "comedy", and it is absolutely NOT a comedy. There is some darkly funny stuff, but it's a drama.

Yeah we've had some Chicago-specific eateries in the past, although they haven't seemed to make it for long. 

I've had Italian Beef for sure, and I do like it.  

If I order a Chicago Dog sans relish, pickle spear, and sport peppers, is it still a Chicago Dog?  Because I loathe pickles and consider sport peppers to be pretty much a waste of time.

There was one across the street from where we stayed in Orlando, so we tried it, it was OK.  Didn't go back though.

Hot dogs in a restaurant are incredibly expensive today.  The below is like $9 and isn't anything special at all.

It's a quasi-Chicago Dog then I guess. 

However, if it touches ketchup, then it is disqualified completely.

I was thinking of the crack comment yesterday when we had lunch at Mukja (Korean Fried Chicken).  Their chicken is awesome.

No.

A Chicago dog must have all of the ingredients to be so.

A Depression dog has mustard, relish, onions and sport peppers.

A Maxwell Street Polish has Polish Sausage, grilled onions and mustard.

And don't ever mention ketchup. You will lose a kidney.

Yeah I do mustard on hot dogs, never ketchup.

But pickles and relish are disgusting, and sport peppers are a waste of time, so I'll pass on the Chicago dog and the depression dog.

I like dill relish, but it's scarce.  I have no clue how people enjoy sweet pickles/relish.
