Portillo's is a Chicago institution that most of us grew up on. Hot dogs, burgers, Italian beef - it's dad food and we're here for it. But these days lots of us are vegan for ethical reasons or plant-based for health or environmental reasons - meat alternatives are a $3.3 billion business! We're not asking Portillo's to go vegan (although that would be rad) but we are asking for better options! Why not with with a local meat alternative brand like Upton's Naturals for a vegan Italian "beef," or hot dog? If you make them, we will come.
