Chicagolanders in North Texas take heart: You left Chicago, so now Portillo's is coming for you. And even before their actual brick-and-mortar location, which is slated for later this year.
Chicagolanders in North Texas take heart: You left Chicago, so now Portillo's is coming for you — evenPortillo's first opened in a small trailer in Villa Park, Illinois, in 1963 and now has more than 60 locations across the U.S. They're popular for their Chicago-style hot dogs made with Vienna Beef franks"dragged through the garden" , Italian beef sandwiches, cheese fries and chocolate cake shakes.
In March the company announced they're opening a North Texas outpost as part of a massive expansion across the US. Ahead of that, they're sending down their Portillo's truck, which is called the Beef Bus and unfortunately isn't anything like the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, but we imagine many will still flock to it.
It's still yet to be decided if North Texas can support a stand-alone hot-dog restaurant. We don't have a great record; Luscher's Post Oak Red Hots, Wild About Harry's and Hoffman Hot's all opened and closed rather quickly . But perhaps the long-standing fame of Portillo's will see it through.The Beef Bus
is scheduled to land at The Grandscape in the Colony, 5752 Grandscape Blvd., from 1:30 to 5 p.m. Monday, July 11, directly across from the future Portillo's Restaurant, which is scheduled to open sometime this year. Then that weekend, July 15 - 17, they'll be at the Summer Truckin' Nationals at AT&T Stadium, so you'll likely need tickets to the event to try them there.Thursday, July 21, they'll head back up to from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.KEEP THE DALLAS OBSERVER FREE..., it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we'd like to keep it that way. With local media under siege, it's more important than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
