Does anyone have an opinion about the Chicago Palm? I've only been to the West Hollywood and Downtown LA locations (manifestly different). I don't think I've ever had a better New York strip. Is that the same thing that's marketed as a Kansas City steak in Chicago? I've just started making regular business trips to Chicago and tried Gibson's my first time out. Granted, I don't know what see and be seen looks like on the plains, but it didn't strike me as that sort of place (as a previous poster suggested). No doubt this reveals the tourist in me but I liked the room a lot (conformed to expectations) and while I thought the steak was good but not great, I was actually impressed by how close to the medium rare mark I thought they got (usually I have to order rare to get what I'm looking for). Incidentally this is my first post and first visit to this board. I'm a long-time chowhound but how did I overlook egullet?
