Carnivores Eat Out in Chicago

Harry Caray was a long time radio and tv baseball announcer who had a lot of influence and many rumors about his behavior. There are now three restaurants bearing his name in Illinois, one in Chicago.
After the Monday night cocktail party in the hotel we walked across the street to Harry Caray's a well known Italian steakhouse. I was the only non-lawyer at the table. The rest were all attorneys for automobile dealerships.


I am used to a dessert tray, but not a meat tray!! That's a lobster in the center. The cuts were all wrapped in plastic. I should have paid better attention because I don't know cuts of meat. Learning them is a longer term goal of mine.
Our friendly waiter explained every cut of meat that was available to order.
Robert picked a salad to start our his meal.
I don't know what possessed me, but I ordered a pasta dish at a place where nearly everyone has MEAT! I think it was that the ravioli was filled with artichokes, but it was hard to tell....
This was Robert's filet mignon.
I took pictures of some of the other orders:

We did have some vegetables.
The other woman at the table ordered a sampling of many of the desserts:
The baseball is filled with chocolate mousse. The "grass" is dyed coconut flakes. This was the best dessert of the group.
