ABOUT PORTILLO’S HOT DOGS: In 1963, Dick Portillo invested $1,100 into a small trailer to open the first Portillo’s hot dog stand in Villa Park, IL, which he called “The Dog House.” Years later, Portillo’s has grown to include restaurants in more than 60 locations across several states. Portillo’s is best known for its Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, char-grilled burgers, fresh salads and famous chocolate cake. The Portillo’s brand also includes Barnelli’s restaurants that serve award-winning ribs, pastas with homemade sauces, and fresh salads. Portillo’s ships food to all 50 states via Portillos.com. Portillo’s Home Kitchen is the company’s fast-growing catering business. In addition to great food, Portillo's is also known for its great people. In fact, the brand believes people are the heart of Portillo's. Family is a top value for Portillo's, and it led the company to create its own 501(c)3 in 2020, called The Heart of Portillo's Fund, which was developed to support and provide assistance to Team Members facing financial hardships due to unavoidable situations. In 2021, Portillo’s was recognized by Forbes as one of “America’s Best Midsized Employers,” and was named the top-rated company within the restaurant industry category.
