Look Who's Come to California: Portillo's!

From H:
Portillo's has its first location outside of Illinois ... in Buena Park, California!

(Not altogether surprising, there is a "California menu," which basically consists of the same food at higher prices. And I thought that only happened in Hawaii.)

I was just telling some folks how I missed Chicago dogs and Italian beef sandwiches. If we can just get a Buona Beef, a Potbelly, and (please please please!) a Papa Murphy's in SoCal, ah ... life would be a dream.

I always liked the chocolate cake, and it was pretty cheap, too (in comparison to the $6 desserts at most restaurants). I've never had their strawberry shortcake, and with a warning like that, I never will. :)
