I grew up in the Chicago suburbs. Portillos Italian Beef Sandwiches were a part of life. After I moved away I tried to replicate it a couple of times.
This kit is great, but you must follow the instructions carefully and not boil/overcook the meat. I have sent this to a lot of my fellow exChicagoans and its always a hit.
Notes
- It is a little expensive.
- The Lou Maltani's frozen pizza does not taste like home. Not recommended.

Follow Ups:
Wife got this for my birthday last year. This was almost like walking into a Portillos in my kitchen; I still have the dorky hat!
Order extra giardiniera or make some like I do.
We also have Lukes Beef in AZ, mucho better!
Great post "G!"
I grew up in the Chicago burbs and ate at the original Villa Park Portillos many times (although I preferred the Lombard location). Here in Arizona several Portillos locations have opened up but ever since Dick sold off the company quality has gone way down to the point that I don't bother eating there anymore.
The two I go to when I visit are in Northbrook and Skokie are still good as of 2 years ago.

FWIW, there used to be a place on the north side of Irving Park Road just west of the airport that served up an Italian beef that I thought was noticeably better than Portillo's. It's been a long time since I was down that way, though, so I don't know if it's still there or not.
I think the one that was on Irving was Jay's. Also can't forget Frannie's just down the road!
