I must say I had a Portillos when in Chicago and it was pretty bland. Had all the stuff on it, but was just "Meh". The beef had no real flavor that I can recall.
Portillo's is a chain that sells Disney versions of Chicago street food. It's like comparing sandwiches from Subway to a genuine Italian deli.
A beef, juicy, with hot oil only, from Johnnie's Beef on North Ave. is the most delicious sandwich made by man. You'll have to leave the tourist bubble of Chicago's near north side to get it, though.

The Subway comparison is unfair. Portillo's still hits the spot every once in a while, and I prefer it to Buona among the chains.
But you're correct that the best beefs are found in the local grease pits, and like the pizza joints around here, people get very particular about which they prefer.

Definitely the best I’ve had, one way in and one way out of that place, it was phenomenal
