I got sick at a Farmer Boys once. Never went back and never will go back.

I do enjoy a Portillo's now and then, though.

Probably only a matter of time before they expand into Ohio, considering they now have a handful of locations in Detroit and Indianapolis.

They're aggressively trying to make Chicago junk food a nationwide thing.

It's too bad that their physical restaurants tend to be of the god-awful mega drive-thru model.

But I guess that's the state of fast food in this country these days.

AMERICA..........fuck no!

Same here, except at home I just use Kirkland (Costco) K-cups. For a few years when I was working in downtown SF I went to a nearby Peet's every morning, but I weaned myself off the fancy stuff. Peet's is crack anyway. I don't need that much caffeine.
