Dining
Portillo's is a Chicago-rooted chain famous for its Italian beef sandwiches, Chicago-style hot dogs, and chocolate cake shakes. Like most sit-down and counter-service spots, a tab here codes as dining or restaurants, so the smart move is a card that earns a bonus rate on dining rather than a flat-rate everyday card.
