Plenty of trashcans around. Hot dogs don't need that many toppings.

Honestly it’s Portillo’s. I know it’s a chain but it’s so good.

I love Portillo’s. Add an Italian beef while you’re at it!

What? They don’t take off? The 3-4 in PHX area are packed. Also ordering tip…

PhX is the one place they took off because that is where people from Chicago go to retire. And dry is worse than dipped.
