January 4, 200620 yr I'll take plain old Applebee's Sirloin steak any day of the week, month, year, centure, millenium...
January 4, 200620 yr 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!!!

Does Outback Steakhouse count? I was suppose to go to Fogo de Chau once but had to cancel. I normally don't go out for food much anyway.

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.

January 4, 200620 yr 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.

January 4, 200620 yr 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?
January 4, 200620 yr 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.

The placeis seriously one of the greatest sloth fests of all time. Just try and not take a nap after, I dare you!!!!
January 4, 200620 yr 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.

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 place was packed, and I can see why.
