Autographed "Out of the Dog House" Book

Signed by Dick Portillo himself, this is a tale of how one man crafted his own American dream, one hot dog at a time. In 1963, Dick Portillo built a 6' x 12' trailer with no running water or bathroom. He opened a hot dog stand in Villa Park, Illinois. He called it "The Dog House." More than 50 years and 50 locations later, his namesake Portillo's restaurants are a Windy City institution, famous for perfect, Chicago-style dogs. In Out of the Dog House, Portillo tells the incredible story of his life, sharing the ingenuity and hard-earned wisdom that went into building a beloved restaurant chain.
