Portillo's Hot Dog Kit & 2 Lou's Pizzas

I send my sister this package. She had had a taste for chicago-style hot dogs. She absolutely love them she was a static to get them. Totally reminded her of home.

Very happy

I had recently visited Green Bay/Milwaukee and had a Lou's, which we thoroughly enjoyed with all of that freshness and strining cheese. While out visiting my kiddos in CA, I wanted to share that yumminess with them too. The pizzas were very good, but not quite like fresh out of Lou's oven, though not complaining! The Portillos hot dogs were excellent, with that snap heard and felt with every bite. Would definitely reorder both again. Packaging and shipping couldn't have been any better, with everything still very much frozen when received.

very good products, will order them again

I called on the proposed delivery of this item when I saw that the original delivery date was changed and that it was shipped five days before it was to be delivered. I called and had a great experience with the support person who understood the issue, cancelled the order and refunded my purchase.She was excellent. however the package was still delivered to my 95 year old mother 5 days after being shipped -and luckily my mom remembered not to open it. Additionally, when looking back through the correspondence on this transaction, I see I was given a $40 gift certificate after all the issues trying to get this delivered while I was at my mothers in Kansas. (She loved Portillos hot dogs when I lived in the Chicago area). That gift certificate was mailed to an old address in Naperville even though my current address is in Massachusetts, so it hasn’t been received. I realize the delivery problem could be more a UPS problem than Taste of Chicago but this was a very disappointing experience. I have received multiple Taste of Chicago gifts from others as well as sending multiple gifts and this was definitely a different experience. Pat Bridger Patbridger@me.com This was a fun gift for my moms 95th birthday celebration- something she needed to get while we were there to unbox it etc. And I really couldn’t understand why a product such as this was shipped on July 20th with a delivery date of July 25. Clearly the product wasn’t going to be fit to eat.

The only way to get poppy seed buns where I live.

Great

I doubt I'll ever get around to visiting Chicago to try Lou's & Portillo's in person so it's great to be able to try this at home, everything was delicious. My one minor complaint is the packaging. The mustard and celery salt bottles were packed on top of the buns, crushing them.

Due to illness, my dad can't taste much any more, and lots of things that used to taste good just don't taste good any more. One day, he said he wished he could have Chicago pizza and hot dogs again - something sorely missing in the south. As a surprise, I ordered this gift pack. He loved it. For the first time in months, if not years, he was excited about eating something. The only negative thing I can think of is that competing web sites offer full containers of condiments with their Chicago hot dog packs, rather than smaller packets, but competing web sites also don't offer discounts for combining packages like hot dogs and pizza.
