We love Food….Portillo’s

Portillo's to open second location in Central Florida | FOX 35 Orlando

Portillo’s is a is a restrtaunt chain based out of Chicago. It’s known for what it became,  “Chicago Street Food”

It was opened by Dick Portillo.  In 1963 he opened his first business, a Hot Dog stand in Villa Park, IL. He called it, “The Dog House” and it became synonymous with the city of of Chicago and many believed you had not seen and enjoyed the city without going to Portillos.

The preparation of the food made the taste of the food unique. The motif of the late 40’s to mid 70’s atmosphere added to the uniqueness of the restaurant and dining experience..

It’s known for Chicago style hot dogs (which we love) Italian Beef sandwiches, (which we’ll try next time) Cheese fries, their homemade cakes which taste so rich and sweet to the taste buds and the Chocolate cake shakes are ecstasy to the taste buds at good enough reason to try this great restaurant.

The inside motif spans from images on the wall the late 1940’s to a 1950 automobile hanging down from the ceiling with music playing from the rock and roll era to the mid-1970’s

The company went Public in 2021 and has won various awards and has 60 locations. It has a loyal and growing fan base.

It’s in our rotation for great places to eat and enjoy. add it to your list too.

You’ll be glad you did you won’t go wrong.

Another Trump Assination attempt..really?

Wow the Groovisphere can’t take a break from this topic! Another assignation attempt on former President and now Presidential hopeful, Donald Trump on his own Golf Course!

The suspect, Ryan Wesley  Routh, a former Trump supporter, became disenchanted with his policies on Ukraine.

He took it upon it to fight on the side of Ukraine against the incursion of Russia. He attempted to raise money for the defense of the country and vowed to assassinate President Vladimir Putin.

Routh is accused of firing at the former President with an AK-47 Assault rifle outside the confines of the course. Secret Service Agents returned fire, but by this time Routh fled the scene. Fortunately a witness saw the alleged assailant getting into his vehicle, where he took photos and copied down this license plate which was given to law enforcement.

Routh was later picked up by local law enforcement and turned over for arraignment.

He (Routh) is being charged with two felonies, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.

We see how that works out.

So Who Do You Think Won??

Wellt he speculation from all of the pundits ended with the debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice-President and Democratic nominee Vice-President, Kamala Harris.

The Vice-President with great confidence, coolly calmly and very pointedly in her opening remarks laid down a foundation of facts about the former President why she s the best candidate for President.

We hadn’t seen the facial reactions of the former President since when  President Barack Obama mocked the private citizen Trump at the  White House Correspondents Press back in 2015.

Dinner when at the time Trump was questioning the President being a US citizen. That issue was resoled when President Obama revealed his birth certificate and suggested that Trump concern himself with more important issues like, did we fake the Moon landing, what really happened in Rosewell and where are Biggie and Tupac.

The former President never takes criticism well has has to lash out to have the final word regardless if it makes sense or not.

Donald Trump, true to form did not take it well like the opening assault from Vice-President Harris who literally took it to Trump laying out her plan, telling the audience what Trump was going to do in response to her points.

Trump did not disappoint. He did exactly what she predicted. Trump like his first speech as President in 2017 painted America as a dark,dour, place in the most pessimistic of places.

Questions posed to him he could or preferred not to answer directly and went back to his same of tired tropes of negativity and diverseness.

Unlike Joe Biden in the first debate where he looked old and feeble, the Vice President was nimble and fast on her feet, and was constructively critical of him directly showing no fear of his tactics and his record as President.

As you saw the split screen one could clearly see he (Trump) as agitated as she launched into her attacks, showing the contrast touting her policies and how it would lift the Country to it’s highest aspirations.

Trump countered with more half-truths, lies and distortions with statements which boarded on the absurd  to downright silly.

The presentation of both Candidates to their vision of the Country are stark, but defined.

So who do you think won? Vote your choice on November 5th 2024 and we’ll find out.
