Offering great food and great service in the same location since 1902, the St. Elmo Steak House in Indianapolis, Indiana is an awesome way to entertain out of town guests, good friends, or that special date. “Naptowners” (colloquialism for Indianapolis natives) have been flocking here religiously for the fantastic atmosphere and delicious steaks since Joe Stahr first opened the doors to what was originally a small “Good Ol’Boys Club” kind of bar. It has since expanded considerably offering both a traditional dining experience along with several private dining options. Along with their hearty fare, St. Elmo’s also has a cellar with over 20,000 bottles of wine in hundreds of varieties, so you are sure to find the perfect paring for whatever you order off the menu. St. Elmo’s is also the place to see and be seen attracting myriad celebrity patrons from sports stars to rock legends. Thankfully, despite the impressive crowd and premium dishes, it’s not the least bit stuffy or pretentious. Sneakers and shorts are just as welcome as three piece suits; and all will be served with the same care and attention.

May 1948 saw the birth of a Chicago icon. The brainchild of Maurice (Maurie) and Florence (Flaurie) Berman, Superdawg was opened at the intersection of Milwaukee Avenue, Devon Avenue and Nagle Avenue in Chicago and has been drawing rave reviews and large crowds of diners ever since. Though you can’t get a signature Superdawg and a drink for 32¢ any more, you can still taste one of the most delicious culinary concepts ever. Using a secret recipe, Maurie and Flaurie created something entirely new and oh so yummy. Not a hotdog, not a frankfurter, not a red hot, the Superdawg is an all beef sausage based delicacy in a league of its own. Bathed in a savory electric green relish, mustard, and chopped white onions these Kosher Sinai 48 wieners (not the typical Vienna sausages found in the Chicagoland area) redefine great tasting summer treats that warm the stomach and spirit year round.
