The Windy City has two more restaurants that are making waves within the business as they were ranked among the top 50 new restaurants in all of the United States.
I've lived in Kalamazoo for more than three decades, but for anyone like me, you can't take the Chicago out of me. Many Chicago food places here have come and gone in those 35 years, but this news is big. Chicago "food" restaurant chain, Portillo's is going public, and the plan is to eventually expand to 600 locations.
Well, this is the cherry on top of the whip cream. I know I'm mixing too many metaphors, but this news item is the exclamation point on how incredibly unlike any other year 2020 has been: a Chicago eatery - Chicago hot dogs, and Italian Beef - is opening up in Detroit.
