<span class="x BTO fact box text bold">What a reader said:</span> " Just returned from Arizona for the summer here in Winfield. Now, I do not miss the winter weather, but I really do miss Steamer's hot dogs. They are the very best. Always cooked just right and since I put all the seasonings available on the dog, I have a truly great Chicago hot dog, from the warm poppy seed bun to the single pepper (I request just one) and the delicious french fries that just wrap themselves about the bun, it is super and it is home! Now if I could only get Tony to open a Steamers Southwest, I would be really happy!" - Marylou Crane, Winfield

I have out-of-town relatives who can't wait to visit here and get a Portillo's hot dog. Steam sesame roll, beef hot dog, relish, tomato, pickle, etc. Can't be beat! We don't need (Hot) Doug's dogs. We have Portillo's." - Jackie Douglas, Wood Dale
