Chicago-style hot dogs are popping up via Portillo's, the fast-casual restaurant concept known for its Chicago-style street food, which is bringing its Beef Bus food truck to tour Texas from July 11-23, offering a preview of its menu ahead of its first restaurant opening in Texas, later this  year.

Over the course of two weeks, the Beef Bus will visit various cities, events, and locations across North Texas. This is in anticipation of the first Portillo's in Texas, coming to the Grandscape complex, the mixed-use development in The Colony, with an opening targeted for the fall. Their mad scheme is clearly to ramp up a fervor.
