Smith & Wollensky
Father’s Day coincides with National Steakhouse Month. Smith & Wollensky, located on the Chicago River at 318 North State Street, gives the grillmaster a break this June 16 by preparing a 44-ounce cut of beef to celebrate Dad.
Smith & Wollensky’s centerpiece 44-ounce Snake River Farms Swinging Tomahawk Ribeye, a dry-aged cut created by Vice President of Culinary Operations Matt King, is a nod to the old school tradition of butchery and hanging beef.

Served with crispy Yukon potatoes, the ribeye can be shared with table guests or enjoyed by the man of the hour all on his own as an entrée.
