Portillo's will be wheeling its famous "Dog House" trailer, that originally launched the business in Villa Park, to locations all over the Chicago area on Thursday nights from 4-7pm.
- Tomorrow, you can head to 4020 W. 95th St. in Oak Lawn to check it out.
Yes, but: The touring trailer is actually just a replica of the original, and those prices posted outside are only for show, reports the Chicago Tribune's Louisa Chu. Womp, womp.
- Regular-priced food will be available inside the restaurant; the trailer will sell special Portillo's anniversary merch.
What's more: Visitors can enter sweepstakes for a year of free Portillo's or spin a prize wheel for potential prizes.
- Plus, the first 10 fans get a slice of Portillo's chocolate cake.
If all else fails: Fans can at least wow their friends on social media with a photo next to that "Dog House" replica, as Monica did.
