Portillo's! According to MSN, Portillo's has the best chili in Illinois, specifically the chili dog.

If you're looking for some chili that's not from a chain, then you might want to hit up Wisconsin's best chili spot. In Wisconsin it's at the Drift Inn in De Pere.

Either way, it's Chili season, so treat yourself.
