Everyone is really hyped on Portillo's coming to the QC. As a Chicago area alum, I could tell you first hand that it isn't bad. I personally don't get the hype about it, but I could under stand why people are so excited. When I eat at Portillo's, I make it a point to not count the calories I'm eating. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know you are putting down you recommended daily intake of calories in 1 meal, but after seeing this I know why I have man boobs.

Get this: The average customer at Portillo's ingests about 1300 calories in one sitting! That's just the average. I've definitely done more damage than that on a good night. That includes beverages. I mean, it does you no good to get a "diet" soda when you're eating half a cow for dinner. That's if you decide to get a soda. If you're like me and have to have their Famous Cake Shake, you can add anywhere from 850-1500 calories just for the shake! On that note, I'm going to the gym. Diabeetus. That is all.
