  • Portillo’s is a fast-casual restaurant chain considered a one-stop-shop for iconic Chicago foods. Founded in 1963 in the Southwest suburbs of Chicago, Portillo’s is known across the country for its hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, cheese fries, and chopped salads. But its best-kept secret is the restaurant’s cake shake. Insider's Medha Imam visited Portillo’s Summit, IL location to learn what goes into making the iconic cake shake. Rumor has it they put an entire slice of chocolate cake into their milkshake, making it a must-try dessert.

      @@charlottefinnegan8136 Not so much about large people, is it? Many people find it very difficult to lose weight because of genes or hormonal imbalances, etc... even if they do eat right. It's just that America is continually and pro-actively searching for ways to make their people more gluttonous and unhealthy for a quick buck. Has anyone ever had leftovers from a cake and thought 'Lemme put this in a blender and guzzle it down because that'll make it taste better.' People would think you're a disgusting hog. It's in slight bad taste. Then again, most people aren't scheming up ways to make millions of dollars from friggin' leftovers. Hey, it's a free market and everyone is responsible for their own diet. I don't care. It's just pretty culturally... erm... typical.

    when I went to order the cake shake, there were only two sizes. Small and Large, I said I wanted medium and the woman replied ' we dont have a medium, you can get a small, out small is as big as a medium' then I remembered which country Im in right now. Tastes amazing. The cake is very fluffy, moist and melts in your mouth. It would be better if they put a bit less of that icing or atleast put less sugar in the icing

      @@juicydoubles1144 That is also a myth. There are people that eat nothing but sugars (fruitarians, for example) that are thin. Obesity is a multifaceted affliction that can be caused by a number of factors. Furthermore, there are people who are physically fit that are diagnosed with Type 1, Type 2 or a combination (I, personally, did aerobics 6x a week and ran 4 miles at a time when I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes). For example, they think there is a possible link between vaccinations that utilize human genetic cell lines and auto immune diseases like T1 Diabetes. The strongest factor in T2 diabetes is genetic predisposition to insulin resistance. None of these are caused by, or even correlate to, eating too much sugar.
