Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse in Chicago has been renowned for the quality of its USDA prime beef and the perfection of its ice-cold martinis since it opened its doors on Rush Street in 1989.
Last year, Gibsons Restaurant Group, which has a total of nine concepts in 14 different locations, dished out 500,000 pounds of its Angus beef: It is the only restaurant group in the country to have its own USDA certification. (Beyond three Gibson steakhouses, the group also owns Lux Bar, Hugos Frog Bar & Fish House, and Quartino Ristorante and it helped introduce the Polo Bar in New York and RL Bar & Grill in Chicago.)
It also sold a total of 65,000 martinis at the flagship Gibsons steakhouse and its two suburban outposts. Not bad.
