On one of the last days of Automate, it was P and I left in Chicago from our team, and we had no choice but to finish off the trip with steak. Out of convenience, we stepped into Shula's, right at the entrance of the Sheraton Grand, where we were staying:
This time, I had the 8oz filet mignon, and added a side of sauteed spinach (you can see the plate of greens, right next to the glass of red wine in the photo above).
Honestly, this place didn't really stand out, neither good nor bad. The server did not go over how many days their beef is aged, so just with this tiny detail, it was clear that this place was not as high end as the previous two steakhouses. The prices were still exorbitantly high, being that it's part of the Sheraton. I don't usually expect too much from hotel restaurants, although there was one place in Burlington that was a good find (maybe I'll write more about this in the future)... Hotels are a place for sleeping, not really for eating!
Bonus for the stiff drinks that they serve here though.
Final note to close off this series of Chicago steakhouse posts is to remember to eat vegetables, because health is wealth. Many reminders of this have popped up throughout this month, with a few trips to the hospital (not for me), and a few stiff knees/leg cramps post standing for long periods of time. I was also very tired of digesting all the red meat during this week, and came back to Vancouver craving a fresh smoothie. Anybody care for a walk to Whole Foods with me?
