There are places where you can get a good hot dog for a buck.

McD quality control has gone downhill last 10 years.

On Saturday I was close to a Portillos from the hotel so I grabbed some beefs for lunch for my little pod. When you have not been in Chicago area for 2 years it is the best damn beef you ever had. I would have gone Tommys or Buona or some other small place had it been closer. One thing I did not like was they make the giardinara too hot. I like there to be a mild in between sweet green peppers and lava sport peppers in the giardinara. Pops does theirs 'okay'.

miss yankee doodle dandy, arthur treacher's fish & chips and shakey's pizza.

do not miss jack-in-the-box. not enough long john silvers around and arby's potato cakes; best fast food potatoes out there.

prefer jay's beef and sausage to portillos. one thing about jay's, they employ lots of tough guys.

Wendy's doesn't belong in the same class as McDonald's or Burger King

The original owner was a shitty high school basketball ref who seemed to have a thing against some teams. I'm not saying he was dishonest, but he may have had some friends who were a little shady.

Buona's not a small place, it's a chain. And a god awful one at that. Their beef is much worse than Portillo's.

Made a lot of cash selling weed and tickets to sold out concerts as well.

Portillo's never did Polish Sausage right. They use the wrong type of onions. I'm sure they've been told this through the years but never change. I haven't had Portillos since 2017 but assuming its not changed.

But the best hot dog in town is always your hot dog vendor on the corner. Not sure what they do but their hot dogs can't be beat. And of course, at the ballpark.

it's the water. we get the best water in the nation from the great lakes. successful ex chicagoan fast-food owners who move/semi-retire and open up a new place in phoenix, las vegas or tampa..can't duplicate the taste because the water is not the same.

So because you are 433, You are Some Kind of FAST FOOD EXPERT??? LOU"s in PHOENIX doing QUITE well?? PIZZAS JUST FINE! lol

Lou Malnati's is overrated shit in Chicago.

Made a lot of cash selling weed and tickets to sold out concerts as well.

LOU"s has an actual kitchen in Arizona, just saying! they arent shipping frozen pizzas and when they did if you think it was by truck, then your stupidty facter is EVEN higher than we all thought!

I am just surprised that with all the alleged intelligence between guys like you, FARNK, and FARVEFANEn (how would you like to be stuck with that group for a weekend?) that they Have't found a way to combine There IQ's and get jobs at Staples or The Taco Bell???

that's all great, but, my question still stands: how long does lou in phoenix boil his pizza in arizona salt river water?

in the QCA we have a few places that do italian beefs and its just ok. they are the places where they have all the chicago food supply signs in everywhere and they make a decent gyro but their beefs are just ok. when we got our portillos, it became where i go get beefs. and i've always said its a good representation.
