Within just a
half-mile radius centered in RiNo (approx. Grand and Dearborn) you have:
Chicago Chop House
Gene and Georgetti's
Flemings
Lawry's
Mastro's
Harry Caray's Steakhouse
Michael Jordan's Steakhouse
Ruth's Chris Steakhouse
Benny's Chop House
Chicago Cut Steakhouse
Kinzie Chop House
RPM Steak
Smith & Wollensky
Phil Stefani's
David Burke's Prime House
Capital Grille
Wildfire
Zed 451
Fogo de Chao
Shula's Steakhouse
Joe's Seafood and Prime Steak
Rural Society Argentine Steakhouse
Morton's Steakhouse
Texas de Brazil
Prime and Provisions
The Palm
Stetsons
McCormick and Schmick's
Brazzaz thankfully bit the dust and Keefers turned into that overrated Seafood place (C Chicago or whatever), but GT Prime is allegedly opening in the lower level of the beige turd-nugget at 707 N. Wells. Now we can add "Gibsons West" to the list.
I understand this is a dense area with many hotels. I understand that a lot of Chicago's out-of-towners, conventioneers, and residents would want to go out for a big hunk of meat, but it's getting to be ridiculous! There is a steakhouse bubble. There. I said it.
