#Sourdough bread loaves are rising, waiting for them to be ready for the oven.
Meanwhile, since it was hot anyway, I've put together a quick #chocolateCake with an easy recipe I like to haul out sometimes. One of the few recipes I use almost unmodified. Well, mostly.
They've also always had MUCH higher-than-average fast food #prices.
Portillo's can afford to pay better #wages, that's for sure. And their employees are among the most overworked & overstressed in the industry, from what I've seen.
It's currently owned by corporate giant #BerkshireProperties, after founder Dick Portillo sold the company (including several smaller restaurants, like #HoneyJamCafe) in 2014. #Berkshire went public in 2021.
My family has tended to be loyal customers, but we won't be crossing any picket lines, thank you-- not even for their chocolate cake.
