A phone call this week found White Sox TV color analyst Steve Stone in a location familiar to all Chicagoland residents: a Portillo’s drive-thru.
Only this one was in Arizona, where Stone is lying low these days at his offseason abode. The Phoenix area is home to three restaurants in the hotdog chain.
Let’s get right to the heart of the matter: There were two sandwiches — a Big Beef (plain and dry) and a Broiled Chicken (plain, with mayo on the side) — involved, to say nothing of the large Coke with which he presumably would wash it all down.
