Portillo's Delivery Service is Not What We Were Hoping For

There aren't even any cheese fries.

When I learned yesterday that Portillo's was debuting a subscription service, I thought, this is a game changer.

But... it's really not.

My dream of Portillo's delivering me a multitude of chopped salads (with no cheese) and cheese fries throughout the entire year was crushed when I read the details of this new subscription service.

'Portillo's 365' costs exactly $365, which includes 2-day shipping. That's not bad for a whole year of food. But here's where my issues begin.

The "whole year" really means half a year, because you're getting a shipment every other month: January, March, May, July, September and November.

Unfortunately, you don't get to pick what you get, it's all outlined for you and there are no cheese fries to be found.

Portillo's website lists the following as the subscription foods:

January Shipment:
One Italian Beef Sandwich Deluxe package, slow-roasted, thinly sliced beef cooked with Italian spices and served on French bread.
March Shipment:
One Chicago-Style Hot Dogs (10 pack) topped with customary mustard, onions, relish, sport peppers, tomato, pickle, and celery salt.
May Shipment:
Two full slabs of Portillo’s award-winning Ribs, tender baby back slabs marinated in Portillo’s house made sauce
July Shipment:
One Italian Beef Sandwich Deluxe package, slow-roasted, thinly sliced beef cooked with Italian spices and served on French bread.
September Shipment:
One Chicago-Style Hot Dogs (10 pack) topped with customary mustard, onions, relish, sport peppers, tomato, pickle, and celery salt.
November Shipment:
One famous Portillo’s Chocolate Cake. Two layers of chocolate cake, plus frosting and a spatula, so you can frost your own famous Portillo’s chocolate cake and enjoy with your family and friends!
