Come back for Comeback Sauce
To further celebrate the record-breaking number of comebacks this season by Chicago’s legendary football team – including the history-making overtime win this weekend – Portillo’s is launching a new dipping sauce in January. Aptly named the “Comeback Sauce,” this creamy, tangy dipping sauce features black pepper, garlic and paprika. 

“With our new Comeback Sauce, we’re giving our guests another reason to celebrate this unforgettable season and come back to Portillo’s for unrivaled food. This new dipping sauce is the perfect complement to our crispy chicken tenders, crinkle cut fries, and golden onion rings, or as a topping on any sandwich,” added Lauer.
