The Cubs Are a Good Mid-Week Distraction…

Penalty: Too many men on the field!

even if they did lose. Jen and Chad invited us to the game, but Dallas had plans so Jill was my date. Chad and I got the yummy grilled hotdogs from the good vendor with the grilled onions. I haven’t had a dog at Wrigley for probably a few seasons. It was delicious.

Chicago Cut Steakhouse

December 16th, 2010 · No Comments

In September Chicago Cut Steakhouse opened in the building south of where I work. I’ve been curious about it so when I was tasked with choosing a place for a team lunch, I decided to try it out.

Chicago Cut is on the fancier side inside and a bit formal as far as service and decor go. The clientele seemed to be very business-y. I guess that’s what’s to be expected, but our office is very casual so I did feel slightly out of place with our dress.

Out of about 8 people at lunch I was the only girl. I guess they must do this with every woman with a purse, but I thought it was cool that they gave me a purse hanger.

Another reason I wanted to go to Chicago Cut: Their wine list is presented on an iPad.

You can view wines on a map, click for more information, even order the wine right there from the iPad application. I had just gotten off a food-related iPad project, so this was interesting to me.

We started off lunch with some delicious bread.

And then for an appetizer we split a kobe beef hotdog. It was just a few bites each and a few fries, but it was really tasty. And big. I don’t know how you could finish this whole hotdog if you ordered it for yourself.

For lunch I wanted steak, but nothing too heavy, so I got the prime filet steak salad.

We also had some fries, macaroni and cheese, and asparagus for sides. Man, I was so full after this lunch. I don’t think I even ate dinner that night. Everything was so good. But I would advise coming on an expense account. It is a bit pricey ($19.95 for my salad!). Good place for business meetings.

Chicago Cuts is located on LaSalle and the Chicago River.
