Portillo’s, the beloved Chicago-based restaurant chain, has been around since the 1960s, and while they offer a variety of food and drink options, they’re most famously known for their perfect Chicago hot dog.
Portillo’s has just announced that they will be adding a new item to their menu nationwide: the garden dog, which will surely excite vegetarians! This new hot dog is made with 100% plant-based protein and comes with Portillo’s signature Chicago-style toppings, like mustard, onions, relish, pickles, and a poppy-seed bun.

We had the chance to try it, and it was delicious! Honestly, we could barely tell that it was a plant-based hot dog and can’t wait to go back for another! Other menu items not to miss are the chocolate and vanilla shakes, crinkle-cut French fries with the cheddar cheese sauce, and the chocolate cake for dessert!
