Have been away from “home” - aka Chicago - for almost 20 years and decided to do something different for Christmas dinner. I ordered the Portillo’s Italian Beef Kit & 2 Lou’s Pizzas for the occasion. It could not have been better ! People who had not ever had either couldn’t believe how delicious it was and those of us who had reveled in the memories it brought back. Will definitely be ordering again and not just at Christmas time.
Wow! Blown away at the quality of the pizzas and Italian beef kit. I live in North Carolina and everything arrive still frozen. I followed the online instructions and it was all delicious! You’ve earned a customer and I will definitely try other items that you offer.
I have been looking at the Italian Beef for a few years now and this Christmas I pulled the trigger on it. I just finished the fourth sandwich from it and it was very good. I added a little bit of provolone to it which I’d recommend. The au jus gravy was so tasty I saved it after making the sandwiches. I heated it up to a boil, stirred in a cold water and cornstarch mixture and lowered the hear. Good on noodles. I think it was 1/3 cup cold water and 3 Tablespoons cornstarch stirred up until dissolved. I sent several kits out to family and they all seem to be happy with it. Ohh and if you put the dry ice in the kitchen sink, use a hot water bath to get the best fog effect.
Next best thing to being in Chicago.
I got the pizza/Italian beef combo and it brought tears of joy to my wife and I. Felt like I was back in Chicago!
Really enjoyed this combo kit as the bread was legit and the sweet peppers were fantastic. We will order this same pack in the future.
We order something from Taste of Chicago every year for our Christmas Eve dinner. We miss the great food in Illinois.
Great Christmas present enjoyed by all.
The Italian beef is excellent. If reheats beautifully and tastes like you are In Chicago. The pizza is good just not great.
