Born and raised in Chicago don't go to portillos for beef. Al's, jonnies, Scatchell's, Tony's, and Novi's all better than portillos and that's just off the top of my head.

When I lived in Los Angeles I got Birria as often as I could, which seemed to be made on Fridays. No matter how big or small the eatery was, they Always made their Birria in the traditional way: they dug an earth-pit, filled it with burning charcoal, laid down a layer of three or so banana leaves, nestled the whole cleaned goat down into it, laid a few more banana leaves on top, then covered the whole thing in more burning charcoal, and finally buried it all in earth. Then it roasted for almost a day. And Every Birria I ever had that was made this way was juicy, sticky & delicious. Then on Saturday morning my family went to Dim Sum in the 626, and on Sunday, it was all about Menudo. As an Angelino, you live a Mexican, Chinese, & Korean culinary life.

Franks and pizza are the best. He of course thinks Illinois has the best. You’re sorta kind of a tie breaker, because you live in N.Y. but travel off and on to Illinois. Aww come on I can’t believe you like the Chicago dogs the best! 😳😂 The Franks( or dirty water dogs) with the red onions and mustard are the tastiest!
