Portillos

Man,does sure feel great to get my appetite back again. I've been sick for about a week,and after living on a liquid diet of Nyquil,water and soups,I needed to eat some real food for a change. So after doing a few errands, I had to grab some lunch and there's a place I've had my eye set on for a while now.
Portillos is one of those places that has a vintage but yet familiar atmosphere to it.  A Chicago based typed of diner/ eaterie that's decorated with old photos,bright neon lights and signs and serving up good food with great service.
Their menu has expanded a lot since they first opened,which now sells pastas, burgers,desserts,salads and of course hot dogs. I was interested and tried  a Italian beef sandwich, a nice portion of sliced  Italian Beef dipped again in natural gravy served on a French bread with sweet peppers and mozzarella cheese.
Definitely was as mouth watering as it sounds. As I finished up eating I just kicked back and enjoyed the environment all while listening to the music of the oldies that was playing throughout the place. If you love good food and looking for a new place to try,this place I definitely suggest you give it a try.
Well in a few days I'm heading again to California to see my family and besides good times,laughter and memories, well you know we'll find a few good places to dine at too.. So stay tuned for that, and aloha for now
Love, peace and feast(m0de)
