Big Beef Runners
A big beef from Portillo’s recently found its way into my home. I Grubhubbed the BBS (big, beautiful sandwich) with hot and an order of large fries.

Immediately, we cruised towards the Portillo’s on Randall Rd. for a drive-thru experience. My nephew Justin prefers the ribs at Portillo’s – an aggressive order I can appreciate.
