Portillos

I love food but then again, who doesn't?

Rockford is home to two of the most popular fast-food chains that fans believe need to cast a wider net.

To say I was surprised to see Illinois' top small restaurant chain just so happened to be a place that doesn't include a location in Rockford would be an understatement.

Portillo's is now in the spicy chicken sandwich war and it appears they came to 'light us on fire', with a very Chicago-esque spicy and creamy sauce.

Summer = Hot dog season! I think my favorite summer phrase is "Burger or hot dog?". What's your go-to? Personally, I always opt for the hot dog.

Even though it's the beginning of November, if you didn't know any better, you might think it's late December. From commercials, to retail giants, to menus at your favorite restaurants, it looks like Christmas time. So we really have no choice but to indulge in celebrating the holidays early...

You'd think if it really is Illinois' most popular sandwich it would be on menus everywhere.
