portillos is over priced beef sandwiches IMO and their fries suck
lol
BUT as for ice cream
hello--Culvers taste so much better
We rarely eat beef outside of our home anymore. DH has a friend who owns his own meat company. We get the beef sliced fresh....so good!!!!!
my sil just catered portillos this weekend--it came in the same type of vacuumed sealed bags the beef I get from restaurant depot does..
That is too funny because I can't stand fresh cut fries. They are always so flimsy and soggy and usually have a burnt taste to them. My all time favorrite fries are Checkers. They are covered in seasoning and they taste so good. All the Checkers closed around here and I was so sad. I only get my fix when we go to FL. Speaking of which, Steve...please go get my fix for me this year as this is the first winter we won't be heading down there. out:
Why are you moving to Phoenix? Job opportunity?

As for Culvers vs. Dairy Queen, I do like Culver's custard, but also have enjoyed a PB parfait in the past.
My first job was at DQ (I was 14). If I want a soft serve, that's where I go. Their mix was always ice milk, low-ish fat, the machines are what put in the air to get it servable. I remember we used to make the dilly bars and sandwiches and such in house, but I think they probably make them in a factory somewhere now. I LOVED decoraing the cakes, we made those all in-house too.
I don't care for Culvers. But it is literally across the street from us, so the kids do eat there. We also have Oberweis dairy stores here, they have actual ice cream and I think that is pretty good, too.
A place to debate everything and anything!
