Iconic Chicago-area chain Portillo’s will unveil a new mystery menu item Tuesday, and the restaurant’s recent cryptic social media post has fans guessing what they think it could be.
The post, featuring a gallery of five different colors — including a teal-ish green, reddish brown, mustard yellow, cherry red and white — includes the caption “1.27.26.”
The brand also appeared changed its logo on its social media pages to a collection of the colors.
No other details were revealed, but plenty of social media fans speculated on what the item — or items — could be, with many guessing a new line of sauces.
Those guesses could be on the right track given Portillo’s new “Comeback Sauce,” announced in December. The dipping sauce, described as a creamy, tangy dipping sauce with black pepper, garlic and paprika, is set to come out this month.
In the 6 a.m. hour, Portillo’s will join NBC Chicago live to reveal what exactly is coming to menus. The interview will play in the video above once it begins.
