Controlled Chaos Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 4, 2006 -> 02:57 PM) YEP. There are too many spin offs now and most of them suck, but Fogo kicks ass. Well I've had Fogo and Sal & Carvao and thought they were both pretty comparable. I still say Finley's in Downers Grove will hook those of you that try it!!!

I was suppose to go to Fogo de Chau once but had to cancel. I normally don't go out for food much anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No joke, you need to get off of the Kids menu and get into a REAL stakehouse. Applebees is like the difference between Little Ceasars and Gino's East.

Mplssoxfan Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I haven't eaten steak in Chicago for a looooong time, but is Gene and Georgetti's closed? I loved that place. So old school, and the guys on the grill really knew what they were doing. If you're ever in Mpls, eat at Manny's. It's fan-freaking-tastic.

farmteam Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 My favorite types are Skirt and Rib Eye. Tasty. I want one now. Has anyone ever been to this place called Stoney River? It's decent...I went up there (I've only seen it in the northern suburbs) when I was up near some relatives. I really want to try Ruth's Chris. I've heard good things of Pete Miller's, but I've never tried it. Anyone been there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 4, 2006 -> 04:54 PM) I actually had to one time The only tough part for me is when I stop and think about all the different kinds of animal meat in my stomach at once. Beef, pork, lamb, some places have even expanded the menu to include chicken and some fish. At that point, it's pretty much a carcass fest in your stomach. Enjoy.

Dick Allen Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 QUOTE(Cknolls @ Jan 4, 2006 -> 02:35 PM) Would not go back. I do not know why they ask you how you would like your steak cooked, because it seems like they cook every steak to medium. I like Morton's Ruth's Chris and On the cheaper end costwise but not quality wise Golden Steer in Forest Park. I had the same experience at Gibson's. The quality of the top steakhouse meat is very similar, in fact a lot of it is the same. Preparation is the key, and I'm a little weird in that I don't always order my meat prepared the same. I go from medium to well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Gene and Georgetti's a couple of years ago with my old boss. It was totally old school as we sucked back manhattans at the bar before hand. I ordered mine medium well that night and they burned the s*** out of it. I never send back food for fear of what might happen when I don't see it so I just ate it. I went to see the Sox in Minneapolis a few years ago with my father who spent a lot of time up there and knew his way around. We ate at Manny's and it was excellent.

That sounds about right. IIRC, most stuff was in that price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
