My parents are big fans of retro fare, and Pops has a hankering for the stuff. Mon Mar 04 11:23:12 -0800 2002 0 LilAndy 1 595897 Boy, I wonder if that's still on the menu anywhere. I suppose you could check Lawry's, or some of the places that make a point of not having changed in decades, like The Berghoff or the restaurants in the Drake Hotel or something. (Petterino's brought back Steak Diane, maybe Beef Wellington is in their future.) Mon Mar 04 21:00:41 -0800 2002 595874 0 Mike G 2 595898 Shoulda done a search first. A place called Plaza Tavern, 70 W. Monroe, with a retro theme beat Petterino's to reviving Beef Wellington, while a place called Pete Miller's in Evanston also declares it their specialty, according to their metromix.com writeup.

I think it's the only restaurant I've been in recently that serves Chateaubriand. Wed Mar 06 16:32:35 -0800 2002 595874 0 Lakeshore Woman
