Chicago Steakhouses and Cigar Smoking

[icehog3]

You can get a great steak at Gibsons, Mortons, Harry Carey's, Gale Street Inn...but you can only smoke in a B&M.

I haven't been since the smoking ban took effect, Larry, but their food is among the best.

yeah, that and Gibson's would be my choice. sucks that in the city of the big shoulders you can wander into a swank joint - like Gibson's - have a martini before dinner, clog an artery with a huge hunk of red meat and wash it down with your choice of spirits, but you can't fire up a cigar after...

Trader Vic's in in the Near North "Viagra Triangle" area now, and from the description of some friends who were there in the spring, their prices have gone berserk. Since I was around for the tail end of the classic "Tiki" era in Chicago I would love to try the place, but am scared of the prices.

I can name a cheaper place in Lincolnwood that makes Mai Tais to die for.
