From $1 dogs to Chi-conic partnerships with Lou Malnati’s and Local Style, fans nationwide have multiple ways to honor the legendary Chicago-style hot dog.

“At Portillo’s, Chicago-style hot dogs are more than just a menu item – they’re a part of our DNA,” said Vallory McCormack, Director of Marketing for Portillo’s. “We started as a hot dog trailer, and it’s been a signature of our brand ever since.
