IN Portillo's To Celebrate Birthday With 55-Cent Chocolate Cake

The restaurant chain is turning 55, but it's the customers who are receiving the gift of a discounted dessert.

ACROSS INDIANA -- Portillo's might be celebrating its 55th birthday next month, but it's the Indiana locations of the Chicago area-based hot dog restaurant who'll be able to eat the cake. On April 4, Portillo's will be offering its chocolate cake for 55 cents at all its locations including Fishers.

There is a slight catch: Customers need to buy a hot dog, sandwich, entree salad, pasta or ribs in order to get the specially priced slice, which normally costs $3. Online orders are not included in this promotion.

Even though Portillo's is known for its hot dogs, the restaurant also has received a fair share of love for its cake. Last year, the Oak Brook-based chain brought back its lemon cake — a dessert that hadn't been served there for a decade — for a limited time in the summer thanks to the urgings of a persistent Reddit user.
