Beef is Portillos or Mr Beef.

I do not like the beef at Al's, mainly because I hate the hot peppers they use on them.

        this place is a lot more mainstream too. I think everyone could get something they like. -- nm - diva Jul 6, 11:11
  - a tad pricey, no? -- nm - groiny Jul 6, 11:00 2
    - seems moderate to me for what you get. *shrug* -- nm - diva Jul 6, 11:05 1
      - oh, I don't know, I have never been there, I assumed they were high end. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 6, 11:06

- we met dogbert there once. it was ok. -- nm - diva Jul 6, 10:54

this is where my sister goes every time she visits. -- nm - diva Jul 6, 10:50 14
- there is a hot dog joint by O'Hare, which is just a little dumpy joint, that is the shit. - groiny Jul 6, 10:51 13
  - what is this place (I'm sure you told me) but I'm right close to O'hare -- nm - oblique Jul 6, 11:03 12
    - if you ask them for ketchup, they will literally dump you in the Des Plaines river. - groiny Jul 6, 11:04 11

        it is hot dog heaven. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 6, 11:25 1
        
        I trust your true Chicago ways - oblique Jul 6, 11:27
      - Don't they have it for fries? You grab a bunch "for the fries" and put it on the hot dog. -- nm - spamlet Jul 6, 11:08 5
        
        but then you have to ask for it "plain" which is probably just as bad -- nm - oblique Jul 6, 11:09
        
        NO FUCKING KETCHUP!!!!! - groiny Jul 6, 11:09 3
        
        do you jam your fries in your shake too? -- nm - oblique Jul 6, 11:09 2
        
        they don't have shakes either, fatass. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 6, 11:10
        
        Only after a few drinks. -- nm - Shaun Jul 6, 11:10
      - What if I ask for the Des Plain? -- nm - oblique Jul 6, 11:05
      - all they serve there, is hot dogs, tamales and fries. - groiny Jul 6, 11:05
I was new to the city at the time, so I have an excuse :) -- nm - ty97 Jul 6, 10:48 1
- you always have an excuse. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 6, 10:49
