Hot dog lovers, rejoice! One of Chicago\u2019s longest running and best-loved restaurants is coming to Madison. According to the Wisconsin State Journal<\/em>, Portillo\u2019s is planning to open its first location<\/a> in the city next fall.<\/p>\n

Construction is scheduled to begin this spring on a new 9,000-square-foot, 200-seat Portillo\u2019s near East Towne Mall that will also feature 26 seats on an outdoor patio as well as a drive-thru window for those of you who like your dogs on the run.<\/p>\n

Opened in 1963 by Dick Portillo as a cart called \u201cThe Dog House,\u201d Portillo\u2019s<\/a> has since expanded to 50 locations nationwide. The Oak Brook, Illinois-based fast casual dining chain is probably best known for hot dogs, but the menu is pretty diverse. A different Chicago staple \u2014 the Italian beef sandwich \u2014 is another specialty, as well as salads (but if you\u2019re getting a salad at Portillo\u2019s, you\u2019re doing it wrong). And while the East Towne location will be Madison\u2019s first, it isn\u2019t the first in the state. A Portillo\u2019s opened in Brookfield in the summer of 2016.<\/p>\n

Side note: If I see any of you putting ketchup on a Chicago-style hot dog, I\u2019m coming to your house and writing \u201cDO BETTER\u201d on your driveway in assorted condiments. Pulling a stunt like that would get you laughed out of any Chicagoland location.<\/p>\n

Hopefully more Chicago favorites join Portillo\u2019s in making the trip up I-90. I\u2019ve got my fingers crossed for Al\u2019s Beef<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
