It’s time for dinner! Where would be the best place to visit? Portillo’s of course! They have a large variety of meals to choose from; hot dogs, char-broiled burgers, salads, and their famous italian beef. Portillo’s has a very attractive and exciting theme, and would be a great recommendation for a group of people that are hunting for a quick as well as memorable restaurant for dinner. Let’s head back to the 1960’s!
Notably, the most vital aspect in order to plant a restaurant begins with an idea. Owner and founder Dick Portillo opened his first restaurant in Villa Park as a hot dog stand and was initially titled “The Dog House.” Later on, the restaurant’s name was changed to “Portillo’s” in 1967, and began to expand its business all across the United States in locations such as Chicago, Indiana, Arizona, and California. Many people from all around the country idolized Portillo’s business, and he received many nominations and awards such as the Up and Comer from Forbes Magazine as well as Entrepreneur of the Year by Inc. Magazine. Dick Portillo was very successful with the foundation of his business, and he will be known as a legendary icon for many years to come.

hot dogs, hamburgers, italian beef sandwiches, and salads. When I decided to try Portillo’s last week, I definitely had a craving for an italian beef sandwich, and I was able to select how I would like my sandwich to be prepared! The sandwich can be prepared as dry which signifies very little to no gravy, extra gravy in which the chef splashes a small portion of gravy on the sandwich, or the entire italian beef sandwich can be dipped into the gravy. Finally, I had the option of spicy or sweet peppers on their meal. I decided to take the unique route and order an italian beef sandwich that was dipped and topped with sweet peppers, and might I say that there was a party of flavor! I will be honest by referring to the fact that the appearance was not very appealing, but the taste was absolutely marvelous. The bread dissolved in a matter of seconds, and the italian beef was very tender and moist. Furthermore, the sweet peppers were extremely tangy and sweet, and they also left a kick of spice once each bite was taken. I was very impressed by this main dish, and this would be a great option for a family to enjoy on any occasion. The side dishes of this restaurant definitely compliment this meal!
Others may view Portillos’ sides as “comfort food” due to the comfort and satisfaction that is experienced with this course. In reference to the onion rings that are served at this restaurant, they preserve many enticing aspects. For example, the onion rings possessed a very crisp and sweet flavor with a pinch of grease as well. Also, the fries are absolutely delectable! They were served hot and crispy in the form of crinkle cut fries, and they were made from all natural potatoes with just the right amount of salt. Portillo’s offers many other sides to choose from, but the onion rings and fries are at the top of my
list!! Above all, the refreshments for this restaurant are very tempting. In my opinion, a visit to Portillo’s would not be complete without ordering one of their famous shakes. I would recommend the Portillo’s Chocolate Cake Shake, and this milkshake exceeds beyond my expectations for the taste of this refreshment! There is a creamy, rich, chocolatey texture to this drink, and the best part includes the tiny bits of chocolate cake inside the milkshake. Keep in mind that there is a large percentage of dairy and chocolate, but there is no other milkshake that is as marvelous and rich than this! The interior design that was produced for this restaurant emphasizes its unique personality compared to other restaurants. As soon as I stepped foot into Portillos’ entrance, I could sense the excitement and entertainment as I listened to their jazz music. Then, as I strolled through their restaurant as I waited for my order, I noticed the endless amount of gadgets and trinkets they had from the 1960s! They had different hand-made baskets, decorative signs, and they also draped their various awards and nominations around the restaurant. For example, there was one photo that displayed Dick Portillo’s parents! I was in complete awe by the complexity of their interior design, and I would give them a 110% for their creativity! As a final point, Portillo’s would be a great restaurant for people of all ages on any given occasion. They have mouth-watering dishes, desserts for a sweet tooth, and entertainment that will take a person back to the 1960s! I had a very memorable time at Portillo’s, and I was very satisfied with their service.

Chuy’s Tex-Mex Restaurant started in 1982 in Austin, TX off Barton Springs Rd. It was the vision of two friends, Mike Young and John Zapp. They wanted to create a restaurant that offered quality food, diverse options, and affordable prices. The first location was in an old, abandoned BBQ shack with limited room and space, but it would certainly do. Mike and John ran low on their budget for décor and ended up with $20 to spend. John went out to find as much décor as possible. “You can’t fake cheap.” said, John. One of the items John came back with was a velvet canvas of Elvis; thus the beginning of the signature culture and environment provide by Chuy’s. John and Mark say, “If you’ve seen one Chuy’s, you’ve seen one Chuy’s.” The one common denominator found in each location is the Elvis Shrine. From the very beginning The King has played a part in this successful restaurants growth and development.
Many countries have the pleasure of celebrating Independence Days. These historic holidays are filled with nationalistic celebrations and delicious traditional food. In Chile, the natives celebrate their break from Spain with Fiestas Patrias. In Mexico, the president begins the celebration by ringing a bell and reciting the “Grito de Dolores” and he ends his speech by saying “Viva Mexico” three times.
I came to the conclusion after comparing notes that my relatives had been deceived by their hunger when they decided that El Espolon was their favorite Mexican restaurant. After reviewing the venues, service that was provided, and food that I tasted, I reached the decision that El Tapatio was the number one Mexican restaurant in my book. Their excellent service, clean and bright venue, and tasty food made it hard to turn up a nose. I would suggest the restaurant to anyone with many occasions. From a family dinner after a long day, to a family lunch on Sunday after church, this restaurant is suitable for all occasions in little town Missouri.

The land was originally owned by the Mexican government and was part of the land grant to Stephen F. Austin. Very early, sugarcane stalks from Cuba were brought to the area and a
One reason to visit Carrabba’s Italian Grill is because as soon as one walks in the main lobby they will find themselves savoring the delicious smells of the cuisine they are preparing. With a wide variety of food on their menu, one can certainly have the best five course meal of their life. Two of the best appetizers are their delicious bread and herb dip and savory calamari.

Desserts are rich and very sweet. After meals at home, in restaurants, at work, and at any time and everywhere Cubans love to drink café Cubano, the strong and bittersweet coffee.
After an eventful night of dancing at nightclubs, I never expected to have the most flavorful tacos reach my mouth. At four in the morning we found ourselves at a small, local hole-in-the-wall where most tourists would not be caught dead at. Even though they were the greatest tacos I have ever had, what I ate most while I was there was tortilla soup. Topped with melted cheese and strips of fried tortillas I devoured a bowl from a place our friend Oscar worked at, Margarita Grille. I am not a soup person but this is something I still crave weekly, as well as the salsa they served. Fresh roasted tomatoes were crushed at our table and mixed with garlic, onions, jalapenos, cilantro and juices of a lime. A scoop of the colorful vegetables on a warm, salted tortilla chip will satisfy your taste buds and keep you going for more. Because Margarita Grille was only a couple blocks from our hotel in the “old town” of Puerto Vallarta, we ate there five or six times. Being an outdoor restaurant, there were always stray cats meandering around for scraps of dropped food. People were told not to feed them, but I think they were a pleasant reminder of being away from

The topic of machismo is not addressed often and does not contain enough resources and articles about it. It is what many men want to be and what many women want to see in a man.

Don DeLillo’s ‘Videotape’ is a short story of man who is absolutely captivated by some footage on the news that can be described as both, raw and shocking. The footage is being repeatedly played over and over. It depicts a young girl with a camcorder travelling in the backseat of her family’s car who happens to be filming a man driving a Dodge behind them. She continues aiming the camera at the man and filming until, suddenly, he is shot and murdered. The man watching the tape at home is clearly mesmerized and fascinated with the footage to the extent that he was trying to get his wife to watch it with him. This story portrays society’s utter fascination of shocking and disturbing content relating to death and other horrible events unless they themselves are involved. This, along with other characteristics, clearly suggests that “Videotape” is a piece of postmodern literature. This report will analyze and describe why “Videotape” belongs to postmodern literature through the in-depth analysis of the selected passage and a brief breakdown of the story as a whole.
In El Camino Real unity and variety are exemplified through the use of dynamics, timbre and pitch. Based on a series of Spanish flamenco chord progression, El Camino Real is divided into three sections. The first and last sections are inspired by the Spanish Dance Jota. The first and last sections exhibit very loud dynamics, which is achieved by the different levels of volume one hears from the instruments. The middle section is inspired by the Spanish dance fandango and exhibits very soft dynamics and low pitch. Furthermore, the structure of the music has three sections, section A, the introduction (jota), section B, new melody (fandango), and the return of section A at the end of
