Eater Chicago: Chicago’s 18 Essential Steakhouses, 2017 Edition

Chicago is historically a meat and potatoes kind of town so it’s no surprise that many of the country’s top steakhouses reside here. From divine, dry-aged steaks at restaurants that span decades to luxurious Japanese Wagyu beef, the following 18 spots are a cut above the rest. Whether it’s for a special occasion or just a lovely date night, don’t settle for anything less than the perfect slab. Gene & Georgetti Chicago’s oldest steakhouse—opened in 1941—is still kicking it 76 years later. The steaks are simply wet-aged before being thrown in the broiler. There’s nothing overly complicated about them but they’ve stood the test of time, which is the best compliment of all. Click here to check out the feature on Eater Chicago’s website!
