    Portillos makes the best dogs, beef, Polish. Why ? It's consistent at all their locations. Sorry Johnnies.

    Johnnies only has 2 locations and both are good. Portillos is still very good, but I think since dick portillo sold the chain quality went down a little. I think portillos has the best overall menu including their barnelis locations, but johnnies has the best beef and gene and judes hotdogs are the best. The problem is they are not chains and they both have very limited menus.

    When I lived in the West Loop my favorite thing to do was go to Maxwell Street Polish by UIC and get their burgers and beef hot dogs. Cheap and full of onions.

    Are they still there? I forgot about that place. I went to UIC for a year and went there all the time.

    This thread hijack is sponsored by the Greater Chicago Beef Council, reminding you to eat beef, or we'll kick your ###. That's the Chicago way!

    Google is funny. I decided to see if there really was a Greater Chicago Beef Council. There's not but the "related searches were, to say the least, odd.
