My favorite fest food moment of GD50: Fare Thee Well was in line waiting for ten Italian beef sandwiches when the whole Portillo’s staff spontaneously burst into a rousing rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. In just one weekend, we got in our favorite neighborhood Mexican place, hot dogs outside Soldier Field with all the fixings, bee bim bap, a backyard BBQ, Chinatown and a lavish, catered midnight snack buffet along with too many heady beers to name. It was a 4th of July run for the books with a cherry on top!
