Portillo's breakfast menu starting launches at select locations. Here's where you can find it.
Portillo's promised testing out of a new breakfast menu has begun at select locations in the Chicago area.
The iconic Chicago chain known for its hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches launched its brand new breakfast offerings in five restaurants Tuesday morning.
The new breakfast menu includes Polish sausage, egg and cheese and pepper, egg and cheese sandwiches, a loaded breakfast scramble, hash brown bites with a cheese cup, and a collaboration with Stan's Donuts for a Portillo's Chocolate Cake donut that's finished with Portillo's chocolate cake frosting.
Breakfast will be served between 6:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. at the following locations:
- Niles: 8832 W. Dempster Street
- Chicago - South Loop: 520 W. Taylor Street
- Shorewood: 1155 Brook Forest Avenue
- Elmhurst: 155 S. Route 83
- Tinley Park: 15900 Harlem Avenue
Only breakfast menu items will be served during those breakfast hours – but don't worry, the company says the Italian beef counts.
The chain is also partnering with Metropolis Coffee for classic and specialty coffee offerings.
This isn't the only instance of Portillo's stretching beyond their traditional lunch and dinner targets. Earlier this year, they announced plans to bring "Hot Dog High Tea" to New York City and Los Angeles, which includes a miniature version of Portillo's classic Chicago hot dog, cheese gougères filled with Portillo's cheese sauce, a petite Italian Beef & Truffle sandwich and various other sundries.
Portillo's came within a whisper of being named Chicago's Top Dog in the CBS Chicago bracket-style hot dog challenge.
