Oh, my, Entropy12...don't get me started....I would give my right arm for a Portillo's magnificent Chicago-style hot dog with everything - including the celery seed.....or one of their incomparable Italian Beef sandwiches (to die for)...or to dine tonight at the peerless Bohemian Crystal Restaurant in Downers Grove (roast pork, delicious dumplings, boats of steaming hot pork gravy, sauerkraut, real crusty Bohemian rye bread...and homemade kolaky or apple strudel).

Nothing here in my area of Florida even comes close, sigh.

Oh yes, Italian beef smothered with hot peppers...actually every item at Portillo’s is oh so good. Every time I visit Phoenix, I never fail to drive down to Scottsdale and dine at Portillo’s there. It is as good as the Chicago joints, larger and organized well for fast service.

If you ever visit St Augustine, be sure to try Pizza Time on St George street. Only problem is they only take cash, and I am now part of the cashless society. So have to visit the bank first. Another favorite is Prohibition Kitchen, also on St George street.
