If Portillo’s can prove that its iconic and unique menu is accepted outside of its home market of Illinois it may deserve the fattest multiple in the restaurant industry, Michael Osanloo, Portillo’s CEO, tells Bloomberg Intelligence. In this episode of the Choppin’ It Up podcast, Osanloo sits down with BI’s Senior Restaurant and Foodservice Analyst Michael Halen to discuss the chain’s impressive unit economics and expansion into Arizona, Florida and Texas. He also comments on beef inflation, leveraging G&A expense and what’s fueling the chain’s strong operational performance.
