Whoa! Which Portillos's location are we talking about? If it's not by a mall then it would be less crowded at 2:00PM.

The Portillo's I am talking about it the one by Old Orchard shopping center. It is off the I/94 (Edens) north and take the Old Orchard Rd exit. Then you take a Right on Old Orchard Rd. and then a right on Skokie Blvd. It isn't in the Old Orchard shopping center.

 

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend on this date. Sunday's are often bad for me.

I was at this Portillo's a month ago on a Saturday at 6pm and there were spaces in the parking lot. It's a reasonably sized lot (~120) cars that is shared among several stores. I don't remember them having a party room though the ones in Niles, Downers Grove, and Glendale Heights do.

 

Alright. My wife's pretty stoked about getting to Old Orchard for some shopping. We'll go early and make the rounds. I might bring her to the meet-up but she's not exactly excited about that part. We'll have to see. But currently you will see me there.

 

Hello to all our friends and supporters in the Chicago area. Justin and I plan on attending. We look forward to seeing you all again, on your turf, and maybe get a chance to meet some new friends too.

I am a very proud new owner of a 2007 Prius. I look forward to meeting you folks on the 10th.

I'm confident you'll change your mind once you actually meet us.

 

HEH! How true Tony

 

I went and took a look and they don't have a privat party room or anything. The parking lot is a good size, but by no means huge. But, it shouldn't be a problem. This will be better since we don't have to wait on people to order food and people can come and go as your please. Also if you wife wants you to go shopping you can just drop her off and you come to the meet. Hahaha.

 

Just wanted to remind everybody the meet and greet is this Sunday. Hope all in the area can make it! I have to work that Sunday, but I will schedule my lunch to stop by.
