Tribune food critic Louisa Chu tasted a Garden Dog and pronounced it “fantastic.” It tastes great with all the toppings, but more importantly, it has the snappy casing of all the best Chicago dogs. It replaces the portobello mushroom sandwich, Portillo’s previous option for vegetarian and vegan customers, the Tribune reports presumably the veggie dog, which is all the toppings without the sausage, will still be available. The Garden Dog, seasoned with black pepper, paprika, and garlic, is the same size as the standard meat dog (and larger than the ones Field Roast sells in grocery stores) and is prepared the same way: chargrilled on a special meat-free portion of the grill, then topped with all the “dragged through the garden” Chicago fixings. Portillo’s, the beloved local chain of hot dog stands that is poised to become a nationwide ambassador of Chicago-style encased meats, has expanded its reach even further: on Tuesday it introduced its first vegan dog in collaboration with Field Roast, a plant-based meat and cheese company out of Seattle.
