INDIANAPOLIS – Portillo’s iconic beef bus will make several stops in central Indiana this week, giving visitors the chance to enjoy the chain's signature Chicago-style hot dogs on the go.
From Aug. 7 through Aug. 11, you’ll find it everywhere from Brownsburg to the Greenwood Park Mall.
The 32-foot bus will serve up a limited menu, including:
- Chicago-style Hot Dogs with all the fixings
- Mini Italian Beef Sandwiches
- Char-Grilled Italian or Maxwell Street Polish Sausages
- Crispy crinkle-cut French Fries with Portillo’s beloved cheese sauce
Visitors will also find giveaways, music and more. A photobooth and deejay will be available at the Friday, Saturday and Sunday stops.
While each tour stop has a scheduled start and end time, supplies are limited and food service could wrap up earlier than expected if things sell out quickly.
