We Chicagoans take our Italian beef and deep dish pizzas quite seriously. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] </div></div>

Mike,

In your review you failed to mention.....Portillo's very famous Chocolate Cake and Chocolate Cake Shake [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

Dan </div></div>

Yes, GREAT chocolate cake! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

My brother's Akita swiped an entire Portillo's cake off their kitchen counter one day, wolfed it down in about 2 minutes while my brother's back was turned. That much chocolate could have killed a regular dog, but the vet said it was a good thing that puppy weighed 128 lbs. A smaller dog would have died.

I joked that his dog probably weighed 135 lbs after eating an entire Portillo's chocolate cake. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

My aunt lives in the Chicago land area. She owns a bathtub and appliance refinishing company. I moved up there and worked for her for a few months after high school, summer 1993. I was introduced to the Chicago style pizzas which are awesome and eat at what everyone referred to as the Barretto King though I don't think that was the name, but I don't recall Portillo's. I'll have to check it out when I can get back up that way.

DP just sold his home down the street from me.
Looks like he may have found a buyer for his business..

Is the Daily Herald the former Palatine Herald newspaper?
