Sorry to alienate anyone who doesn't like in the Chicagoland area, but Portillo's is the greatest restaurant ever, forever.
They look like this on the outside:
And you eat this on the inside:
So when I heard about the pumpkin spice shake, I had to try it out. Although based on the cashier's reaction when she took my order, not many people are ordering.
Me: I'd like a pumpkin shake, please.
Cashier: Heh?
Me: A pumpkin shake.
Cashier: Vanilla?
Me: Pumpkin.
Cashier: *blink*
*blink*
*looks at menu board*
*blink*
Cashier: Pumpkin it is!
Looks can be deceiving. This was really good. It's like... pumpkin ice cream. If you let the pumpkin ice cream melt to the consistency of a liquid.
I should have expected no less from a restaurant that has this on the menu:
Don't think about the fact that it is a cake with mayonnaise in it. Don't wonder about whether they slipped mayonnaise into the pumpkin shake. Just sip, and enjoy.
General Thoughts: How much mayonnaise would it take for me to not eat a slice of chocolate cake?
Grade: A
