Gene and Georgetti's. Done.
i went there with family once (i've been there twice, orgasm city with steaks), and my sister ordered the appetizer, entree and dessert all at once, like we were at chili's or something, i was so embarassed.
the old italian waiter goes to her "honey, i will bring you the appetizer first, then you tell me what else you want, please, don't hurry to eat, we have all night".
she blushed, i laughed. that's what happens when you take savages to a good food place.
No shit TID. Chicago has it all. A bone-in filet from Joe's Crab and Steak is the best steak I have had anywhere in the US. This is not the same as Joe's Crab Shack.
As far as Outback, they used to be great. Then they overgrew and now they just pump out shit beef. I have associates that like to go there so I have to go at times but I only get a good steak 1 time out of maybe 5 times. And that is in many different US cities.
Great choice, people seem to be put off by the place because it has "crab" in the title; then again, when i was there it was packed.
Gibsons of course will always be my #1.
