    Disagree. Gibson's is better. Morton's of course is good, and wildly expensive. Ruth's Chris is fine, but commercialized and not unique to Chicago.

    How about Rosebud?

    I'd prefer to just go to Wildfire for a steak.
    Parmesean or Bernaise crusted filet mignon.

    You can't even put Morton's or Ruth Chris in the conversation. Both amazing steak houses in their own right - but they're chains.

    For my money, I will go to G&G's every time. However, the best steak I have ever had - literally ever, was also in Chicago this past year at David Burke's Primehouse. That place is gods gift to steak.

    That said, I am more likely going to G&G's and not even thinking twice.

    Actually in Peoria, Arrowhead area.

    Came out here to go to school at UofA. Got a job in Phoenix and became stuck.

    I miss Illinois once a week at least. Except, I don't miss the winter, don't miss the summer, miss maybe one or two weeks in September. So about right now, I miss Illinois a lot.

    Used to visit that Portillos every once in a while...girlfriend worked down there.
    Used to go down to Orland Days, haven't been in a couple years.

    G&G's is unique to Chicago, so much history, good drinks, and good food....................not great. Guess it depends what you're after.

    I love charred outside with perfectly cooked inside. Without a bunch of fancy ass seasoning. Salt, Pepper and Olive oil makes a good steak.

    The atmosphere puts it over the top.

    Mortons sucks. Way overpriced for decent upscale food. Last time I was there I asked for a medium rare steak and got a well done one. They don't give a sh*t about you there because you're just another customer...

    Lived in Chicago for my whole life. Believe it or not, when I want a steak I head to a place know for seafood, but IMO has the best steaks in Chicago: Bob Chin's.
