  Lol nice. Yeah the portillos on ontario is nice. Good luck parking around there thigh. Probably be best to just buy a parking garage spot for ~40 bucks good for the day. They bumped up street parking recently around there to about 8 bucks for 1-2 hours.
  
  You're about a 20 min walk or a train ride away from the lou malnatis if you're going to the one on state and division

  Just drove by the Lou's on state Street, making our way North, haha. I figured parking would be a bitch so hopefully we get something decent.

  It exists. It's Vince Vaughn's favorite hot dog stand. I think on Clark street. Their chocolate shakes have a dry unique flair to them.
  
  Hot dogs are money also. Portillos hot dogs are better though.

  You live in Chicago and have never been to the Wiener Circle? It's like 2600 N. Clark.
  
  Conan and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog even did a bit on it.

  Wiener Circle isn't a "great" place to eat, it's more of an "experience". Decent late-night drunk food.

  I will.
  
  Still though, basically every late night place in Chicago that is at least semi-popular is crazy fri and sat nights.
