45 Years On, Lawry's The Prime Rib Still Serves its Double Cut on a $40,000 Silver Cart

The signature prime rib at Lawry’s

Housed in the historic McCormick Mansion, Lawry’s The Prime Rib entrenches eager guests in decades of history as it celebrates a laudable 45 years in Chicago. “Lawry’s is a classic, and classic never goes out of style,” says Marketing Manager Shannon Tauschman. Its signature roast prime rib—served in a range of portions including the hefty bone-in Double Cut ($66)—is still toted around on $40,000 gleaming silver carts, but the kitchen has been using the anniversary to experiment with intriguing tweaks like dry-aged cuts. Still, nothing beats a classic, and the Lawry Cut ($49) remains the most popular, with the restaurant selling an average 100 of them daily. Some dishes never go out of style—and for that, we couldn’t be happier. 100 E. Ontario St., 312.787.5000
