Portillos Inc (PTLO)

I've been to a couple outside of Illinois in the midwest and they are booming there too.

I'm kind of spoiled growing up around Chicago with all the mom and pop shops so I think that they are overpriced for their portions but the food is outstanding and they never seem to not play to a packed house.

I also like that they suit their menus to a little homestyle flair. For instance, the Wisconsin locations have a pretty kick ass bratwurst that you can't get here in Chi-town but they still bring our home cooking with them.

I hope they do well. I've been going there for the better part of 25 years and my only complaint is when it's time to open my wallet lol, which is good for a shareholder as long as the consumer is willing.
