You don't miss Filibertos until you move out of state and can't have it anymore...

That’s what happened to me with Portillo’s twice because I used to live in Phoenix and Chicago.

Last time I was in the valley I made a bee line straight to Portillo’s for an Italian beef dipped and with sweet and hot peppers. Valley folks are spoiled and don’t even know it. Lol

The Arizona Cardinals
100 days a year of 100 plus degree heat
No fine dinning...just Long John Silver's
Yep, I sure feel spoiled...LOL

They are supposed to be building three of those in the Denver area, including one about 20 minutes from me. I can't wait.

I don’t get the attraction to Portillos at all.

It’s not like it’s Johnnie’s or A1 in Chicago. It’s the McDonalds of Italian beef.

Oh no, don't you remember how this thread got started? There was some comparison of fine dining and Long John Silver's
LOL

OG moreso than Downtown location but yep. That and some duck fat fries with rosemary, and a good IPA and you're good to go.

You have some wild takes. McDonalds of Italian beef? Get outta here with that nonsense.

Yes they have great burgers but also pricey for what you get.

Have you been to Johnnie’s Beef or A1?

 

[ASUCHRIS]

Most any of them? Look, I get the Chuck Box nostalgia, and it's a great grilled burger, but any of the three I offered clear.

FWIW, I think Luke's of Chicago is far better than Portillos, but that was a debate in another thread. This thread is dangerous - makes me too hungry!

I think I have been to Johnnie's in Arlington Heights before.

No just no.
And we agree on Luke’s and Portillos.

I’ll try La Hamburger this week. Looks promising. Food trucks are novel but there is a reason they don’t have a physical location.

Bullhead City though I’ll have to wait another 20years when I have a walker and oxygen tank.

Who the frick goes to bullhead city?

I have and I’ve had Mr. Beef a lot as well. I love them all. It’s like pizza to me, they are all good.

Back in the day for me....mid 80's, you went to party on the Colorado river during the holiday weekends and saw some....let's say various levels of nudity...and the food was fantastic..

I'm sorry, that's a lie....I have absolutely no memory of what the food tasted like

Any weekend in the summer you can rent a boat at lake pleasant and see the same.

Boat + Lake = Naked Women

I spent some summers out there on Lake Havasu, zipping up and down the river.
I concur.
