I happen to really like Del Friscos Steakhouse in Midtown. YEAH I SAID IT. Some people claim it's not good because "it's a chain" or "it's in Midtown", but I used to work in the area, have been there a ton of times and never left disappointed. I also had dinner there with a group that included Ryan Braun of the Milwaukee Brewers once but that has NOTHING to do with it, I swear..
I read via Grub Street that they are opening a sidekick this weekend in Rock Center called Del Friscos Grille, and it's basically Del Friscos Light. Or Del Friscos Junior. An open space perfect for post-work drinking and noshing with over 700 wine selections and snacks like pimento cheese fritters, chopped salads and truffled mac & cheese. Guess which item caught my eye? Nutella. Bread. Pudding. Served with coffee ice cream. COME ON!!
Check out the slideshow here on Grub Street.
