Chicago’s Famous Cake Shake Is A Portillo’s Staple | Legendary Eats | Food Insider

By



Portillo’s is a fast-casual restaurant chain considered a one-stop-shop for iconic Chicago foods. Founded in 1963 in the Southwest suburbs of Chicago, Portillo’s is known across the country for its hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, cheese fries, and chopped salads. But its best-kept secret is the restaurant’s cake shake. Insider’s Medha Imam visited Portillo’s Summit, IL location to learn what goes into making the iconic cake shake. Rumor has it they put an entire slice of chocolate cake into their milkshake, making it a must-try dessert.

    The video was so great that I was so worried. So when i almost finished the video, I hurried to see comments if there was anyone who discussed "diabete".
    I'm glad there are lots.

    I had one just today and oh goodness, it is rich and chocolatey…. you can taste the bits of the cake as you sip it through the straw.

    I feel this is an accurate word and it isn’t far away. We have been so tested. This is us 🙏🏻

    I see this and I realize now why America has some crazy clueless man saying make america healthy again.

    Yea well, one could get diabetes by just looking at that food. everything about food is perverted over there with a sick relationship to it.

    ive been to this paticular portillos many times as a kid with my family. watching this brings alot of good memories back alive.

    I can see how this can be useful if you live in a very cold environment and you need to build up that fat for the winter, but does it always have to be so damn sweet?

    I can’t have chocolate so I had another of their cake shakes and it was so good! The entire meal I ate was greater than I expected. Don’t know when the next time I can go to a portillos is but I want to go again asap!
