At long last, transplanted Chicagoans and other aficionados of the humble hot dog in Central Indiana may reach culinary nirvana. Portillo's, a much-revered Windy City beef and hot dog stand, plans to open a restaurant in Fishers.
Deputy Mayor Leah McGrath said officials from Portillo's met with planning officials in the fall about opening a place at 116th Street and I-69, near the new Ikea and other new developments.
McGrath said the meeting concerned zoning requirements and though follow-up calls have been made, no official permits or applications have been filed. "We think it would be a fun and unique addition to the Fishers dining scene," McGrath said. Portillo's is adverting for restaurant manager jobs in Fishers on Craigslist.
