We use the large air fryer we have and many times it is very good.

Where's the beef? What does Portillo's do well? The lines don't match the quality of the product.

He's mined the Grand Canyon one time too many.

They make a legit cheesesteak. But I always tell people, if you’re in Philly, go to Tony Luke’s or some place like that for a cheesesteak. To Nas’s musing on Portillo’s, the quality doesn’t match the line for Geno’s or Pat’s.

CUT THE MUSIC!!

Now what I'd like right now is for all you fat, sweaty, leftover fry eating losers to shut your mouths, while I show Chet something that really belongs in a big & tall store.

HIT THE MUSIC!!

They have a very good char polish and I like their fries. I had a pretty good chili dog a few weeks ago. So, I guess in regards to Portillo's, my answer is:

The Chocolate Cake shakes are good.

it's pretty hard to fuck up a milk shake. mcdonalds milk shakes are acceptable and they are the lowest quality around. havent tried a weiner circle chocolate milkshake yet

I still contend this is the dumbest concept ever.

I forget who posted it, but somebody called Portillo's a baseline beef. If its better, its a pretty damn good sandwhich. If worse, its Arby's level. Hard not to argue. Portillo's is acceptable, but I won't go out of my way to get it.

For people that actually have a palette, this sums it up perfectly. For Millennial white girls like me step-daughter who Marketers love and target, Portillo's is the Greatest ever.


I get this....my wife was not crazy about it either. I think it's fine for a different flavor of baseline beef, but even in the suburbs there are far better independent options. If I had to pick between Buona and Portillo's I'm taking Buona.

What? Rosatis cheef sandwich completely blows portillos out of the water, and I don't consider rosatis the best I've ever had. But it's close.

Yeah, isn’t mayo the secret ingredient to their cake? If so, is there mayo in the shake too? Yuck.

It is, but cake essentially has eggs and oil anyways, so I guess it makes it more moist? I wouldn't drink that shit in a shake if you paid me. Might as well just drink an entire box of sugar.

Mayo is an emulsion of oil eggs and an acid. If it's used in a cake it will lighten and make the cake moist. It adds air and the emulsion helps to more evenly distribute the fat to coat the flour particles. In a sponge cake there are whipped eggs, in a regular cake they are more just beaten in. The fats are added usually added at the end in a sponge cake and in most regular cakes the fat (oil, butter) are usually combined with the sugar. The mayonnaise just kind of rearranges the process a little bit. The addition of acid will give a foamy or spongy texture because they help produce air.

Chefy chefs hate this type of thing. There is really an art, talent, and science to baking and it bypasses some skills. Most people only care about if they like what you put in front of them. It works. I've thought about cheating like using a mixer when adding flour to a sponge cake because I can't fold for shit. Mayonnaise in cake became popular in the 30s and 50s when ingredients were scarce or expensive.

You can also use mayonaise for sex

I have a feeling anything, including hot peppers, can be used for sex if you are involved.

That makes sense. I think mayo is gross, but in a chocolate cake, there's no way of knowing it's there.

I picked up a Big Beef today for lunch. I couldn't have been happier with it.

Good portion and the sandwich was covered with sweet green peppers. Delicious!

The stock is up today but down more than 5% since I made the original post. It's now $9 and change.

No wonder you're so god damn fat.

Maybe it’s an AZ thing but I doubt it — their sweet peppers aren’t that sweet. They need more brown sugar. The peppers are also too crunchy.
