How was Ditka's?

I tend to doubt these celebrity restaurants because I assume that they just make it off of name recognition rather than quality food.

There are 3 or 4 WORLD CLASS steak houses in Chicago and MJ's isn't one.

Not saying its bad, but there are few, if any, better cities on this planet to get a world class steak.

Didn't go to MJ's but heard it was good.

We hit up Rosebud. It was good. Bone-in filet special.

Yeah, same here. I've been to Shula's, it was the restaurant in a hotel I was staying at in D.C., and while it was good, it wasn't all that. I can get just as good, if not better at George's in Sheffield, AL (one of the biggest shithole towns in N AL) for half the price.

All right superfans, who would win in a best steak competition, Ditka's or Jordan's?

We grabbed a 4 top in the bar area as opposed to waiting for a table. Sports were on the tube. Place was pretty packed but it was a Friday night.


Food was pretty good. Comparable to a Ruth's. ~$50 an entree. Drinks were expensive but we were on companies dime.

Bartender pointed out a table in the bar area kinda off to the side/in the corner. Said it was where Jordan sits when he comes in.

Probably says that anytime a tourist comes in and he wants them to sit at a certain table.

I wonder if the menu is on a basketball like Shula's has theirs on a football.

Jordan's is good, but they're better ones to be found in Chicago.
