Kitchfix – the prepared meal delivery service – launched a delivery-only virtual kitchen called The Stay-In Steakhouse featuring “Crab Steak Oscar For 2” and a “White Glove Concierge Service”; partnered with Publican Quality Meats chef Rob Levitt on a specialty sausage; and more.
 
Founder, CEO, and executive chef Josh Katt started Kitchfix in 2012 in West Town (1731 W Grand Ave) as a way to deliver same-day fresh meals to nutritionist-approved meals that help the people of Chicago.
 
Utilizing the Kitchfix kitchen – and not having the overhead of a traditional steakhouse – Katt recently concepted and launched The Stay-In Steakhouse that provides steakhouse dishes with twists for a lower price point that are delivered hot to guests to their own homes via Tock.
 
Katt tapped Ian Exline – a former sous chef at Chicago steakhouse staples Maple & Ash and GT Prime – as the chef de cuisine for The Stay-In Steakhouse.
 
Exline’s December special that’s available now thru the end of the month is a “Crab Steak Oscar For Two” that’s priced at $125 and includes:

* Lobster bisque with crab cakes, pickled pearl onions, crème fraîche, and chives
* Alaskan king crab legs on the half shell
* 16oz ribeye steak with Béarnaise sauce and roasted garlic
* Hasselback potatoes
* Grilled asparagus
* Golden Oreo crust vanilla bean cheesecake with fresh berry compote

The Stay-In Steakhouse just also launched its new “White Glove Concierge Service.” If a guest opts for this $10 upcharge on the December special or any a la carte offerings, they will get a phone call from a The Stay-In Steakhouse Maître D to help the guest find ways to enhance their meal.
 
The “White Glove Concierge Service” Maître D might coordinate a wine delivery to pair with the guest’s meal; create a special side dish based on the guest’s preferences, send a “sneak preview” of a yet-to-be released dish; coordinate a Zoom call with Exline to help the guest plate their meal at home; or a send “care package” consisting of candles, branded matches, and a curated Spotify playlist.
 
The Stay-In Steakhouse’s a la carte offerings options include:

* 100 percent grass-fed steaks from Wisconsin’s Red Top Farms (10oz New York Strip, 6oz Filet Mignon, and 16oz Ribeye) that all include Hasselback potatoes and roasted garlic.

* Six steak sauces including a bourbon-infused “Old Fashioned Steak Sauce.”

* Non-steak entrees include pastured heirloom chicken (maple-shallot jam, roasted fall vegetables, potato-celery root mash) and seared wild-caught halibut (chimichurri, quinoa, and roasted garlic).

* Seven elevated sides including “street style” Parmesan haricot verts with garlic aioli; roasted Brussels sprouts with dijon, Manchego, and crispy onions; and a dairy-free “creamed” spinach made with almonds and nutritional yeast instead of cream and cheese.

* A chopped steak sandwich with giadinera aioli, pepper jack cheese, peppers, onions, shredded lettuce, and sliced tomatoes on a pressed toasted bun that was inspired by the NYC bodega staple “chopped cheese” sandwich.

The Stay-In Steakhouse will remain Kitchfix’s virtual kitchen thru Valentine’s Day. Then Katt, Exline, and their culinary team will change over to a new virtual kitchen concept.
