Would any Florida Drupal people be interested in getting together up in Chicago for a world-class steak? Chicago is world renowned for its steakhouses, and I personally don’t want to miss out on this opportunity.
The restaurant that I specifically have in mind is Gene & Georgetti. Gene & Georgetti ages their beef for aged for 35 days and then cooks them in a 1800 degree infrared broiler. They have been featured on the food network and travel channel. From www.travelchannel.com
Founded in 1941, Gene & Georgetti is located in the heart of Chicago's River North. One of the city's oldest and finest steakhouses, its menu pleases locals and tourists alike with a unique combination of classic steaks and traditional Italian dishes. The secret to the 200+ steaks that come through the restaurant's kitchen doors each day is the wet-aging. Dry-aged meet is hung before it's cooked and served; wet-aged steak marinates in its own juices before hitting the broiler. Reservations are highly recommended, and you might find yourself sitting near Russell Crowe, Keanu Reeves, Vince Vaughn or Will Ferrell -- all patrons of this Chicago landmark.
Looking at their menu, I'd estimate each person to get out of there for between $60 and $70- assuming that you have a prime steak and side. However, if that's a bit too much for you, take a look at the menu. There are several pasta dishes, etc that can get you out for much less.
The restaurant is located less than 1 mile away from the "Drupal Tower", and is a 20 minute walk (weather permitting), or 5 minute cab or bus.

I'm open. When is everyone available?
I'll be getting up there Sunday, and flying back Friday morning. The only night that I really have plans is Tuesday for the Opening Night Party at the Field Museum.

It's kind of pricey but what the heck.

Sounds Delicious
Awesome idea. I'm down. It is a bit pricey but from the looks of it, it is worth it. Might as well do it right while in Chicago.
My schedule is flexible as well.

Will you guys be getting up there by Sunday night? Since its a day before the sessions start, I doubt there'll be an afterparty..

@JCL324 & Iribarne: The Field
@JCL324 & Iribarne: The Field Museum Party is Tuesday night... so, I'd rather not do it then. I'm down for any other night, although as Mike said, there are after-parties every night (when I went out to Drupalcon SF last year there were free open-bar parties all week).
That being said, the parties usually don't start till a little bit later. And ,if we get a consensus on a night, we'll have enough time to eat steak and then go to the party afterwards!

I'm in!
I'm getting in late Sunday night and leaving Friday afternoon, but other than the Field Museum party, I've got no plans either. This is my first DrupalCon so I'm game for pretty much any party/get together.
Would love to see how this place compares to the best steakhouse in the country, Berns, here in Tampa.
