For a steakhouse rooted in tradition and authenticity, being recognized by a chef who continually redefines innovation in dining is an honor beyond words. It’s a reminder of how Chicago’s diverse dining scene connects the classics with the contemporary.

Chef Achatz’s mention is a testament to the staying power of doing something—and doing it well—for decades.
