Chicago Cut and Midway Jay
October 23, 2013
People are just now starting to learn how close Jay Cutler and fellow Bears QB Josh McCown are, but we’ve known for awhile. Listen to this audio clip from the Eric and Kathy show on WTMX (The Mix) or read the Chicago Sun Times Michael Sneed excerpt below.

“Two days before the New York Giants game — Jay was invited to join McCown and his entire family for dinner at Chicago Cut Steakhouse and he seemed a natural fit….Jay came alone and everybody chuckled because Jay was originally seated at the end of the table with McCown’s kids. It really showed Jay’s warm and fuzzy side. You don’t think in terms of ‘cute’ when it comes to Cutler, but the dinner scene was cute. Everybody had a big hug at the table and you could tell the two guys were close.”

Red Eye: 30 Things To Eat When You’re In Chicago
April 11, 2013
“If you’ve already done/don’t care to do the classic Chicago steakhouse
thing, this relative newcomer to the steak scene (it opened in 2010) defies
the dark wood-paneled stereotypes with floor-to-ceiling windows and patio
seating with killer view of the Chicago River. The filet ($34 for six
ounces, $42 for eight ounces and $49 for ten) is my favorite, though, in my
mind, you can’t go wrong with any of the dry-aged, butchered-on-site cuts;
they also make a darn good burger.”

Splash: Chicago Sun Times
March 25, 2013
“A favorite of Chicago athletes, Cut butchers and dry-ages its USDA Prime steaks on-site. Stop in for happy hour, where the bar’s cocktail menu is displayed on iPads.”

Chicago Cut was recently featured in Athlete’s Quarterly:

Consistently at the top of critics’ lists, Chicago Cut’s sparkling dining room offers knockout views of the Chicago River and the Loop along with their now infamous three-finger thick dry-aged steaks. Starters include seared foie gras with apple bread pudding and rhubarb preserves and a super-ripe tomato and burrata salad. A slate of chops, seafood, and house-butchered steaks are offered here along with your traditional steakhouse favorites, green beans almondine, fresh shucked corn, or spinach and broccoli sautéed in garlic and olive oil. Don’t pass up the house-cut fries, soft on the inside and with a crispy exterior, they hit all the charateristics of top-notch fries.

Drink This!
September 26, 2012
You don’t want to overlook the bar at Chicago Cut Steakhouse. With plenty of dark wood and cozy booths, it’s hard to leave once you arrive. “We wanted to keep it separate, so we put a glass wall between the dining room and the bar,” said managing partner Matt Moore.

Another unique touch is the drink list featured on an iPad. Customers can digitally browse through 750 wines and an extensive cocktail list. I enjoyed the Effen cucumber martini — a creation from the mind of bartender P.J. O’Connor. Made with Effen cucumber, St. Germain liqueur and a splash of lemon juice, this drink was refreshing and slightly sweet — and the lemon prevented it from being overpowering. “It’s the little touches, like St. Germain, you wouldn’t think of that but just a splash makes all the difference,” O’Connor said. The drink menu is constantly evolving. “I’ve got an apple martini that I’m working on now,” O’Connor said. “I’m always looking for a new combination.”

Fall may be coming, but our patio is still hot!
August 23, 2012
From Phil Vettel of the Chicago Tribune:
“The downside of outdoor spaces is that they fill up quickly, but Chicago Cut has such a large patio that it’s less of a problem. If you really want to beat the crowd, consider showing up for breakfast, which is served daily, or later in the evening, because the restaurant stays open later than most.”

July 26, 2012
Michigan Avenue Magazine:
“Named one of the best powerlunch spots in the city, Chicago Cut’s patio offers diners a prime location for gazing at the Chicago River and marveling at the glistening glass-and-stone buildings that rise off its banks. Whether simply sharing a bottle of Champagne or digging into a hearty New York strip steak, everything tastes better with the city as a backdrop.”
