Kevin Reynolds For some reason that's how they do it in Florence.. I experienced eating it when I was there. They salt it after cooking just enough to tase & drizzle with some olive oil.
Their steaks look pretty good, but one thing that puts me off from ever eating there is that they don't season it. My favorite way to cook a good ribeye is salt, red pepper, McCormick Mesquite seasoning, and Dale's steak sauce. It comes out so juicy and the perfect balance of spice. (From Louisiana so if it seems like a weird way to cook a steak that's why)
The best steak I ever had was from a steer that I made a pet out of! I raised him to show at the fair, he took second place, but his steaks were first place!
My wife and I went here for our 10th anniversary. Best meal of our lives. unfortunately by the time we got back to our hotel we were too tired to really make it a night lol
While active duty USN, we spent some time in Malta, I had a steak bigger than my plate 2 inches thick. I love steaks, being born in the great state of TEXAS. This STEAK was the best I have ever had before,i have not had any steak better than it.
Fondly remember stopping in here for dinner with friends before heading out to the old Maywood Park (a few blocks away) for the evenings harness races. Was a mob hangout in the 80's and 90's (maybe still is)...oops, sorry there is no such thing as the Chicago Outfit anymore.
I don't understand how people can say that the best cut is anything else than the porterhouse. Everyone knows that meat on the bone has the most flavor. Everyone knows the fillet is the most tender. Pretty much everyone likes the loin. This cut checks all three categories. Not seasoning the meat tho, is a travesty. Salt doesn't only add flavor but it also enhances the natural flavors of any food. That's why you even put salt in desserts.
+susp1 you either salt your steak right before the grill , or let it sit with salt at room temp for 30 minutes + , in between that time the salt will draw the moisture out and break down fibers then after 30 minutes it draws it back in. Right before and after is about the same result other than go heavier if before as it will fall off when cooking
You're not missing much. The quality of restaurants really went downhill. You can make anything any restaurant can make at home just as well or better.
I’ll bet those steaks are more than worth the over $40 dollar cost! I’ll need to bring a lot more money when I go there, and find a way to save some while I’m at it.
+Brian Maas Heck yeah... I bought a whole 8 pound beef tenderloin for about $55.00. I can get about 10 good sized filets and all the extra trimmings. The only way to go.
***** Apparently what you have heard of is only a fraction of the total culinary knowledge base of mankind. There is no such universal rule that mandates seasoning before cooking. Guess you have never heard of braising and steaming.
Nanorisk Oh I have heard of both braising and steaming. I have braised many times and have seasoned each and every time, as recipes require. I've never heard of steamed steak though...
Porterhouse and T-bone steaks are two different cuts. The tenderloin (filet mignon) is larger on the porterhouse. (I learned that on the Bearded Butchers channel 😁)
This is more like 'Bistecca-ala-Fiorentina' or Florentine Steak where you get a big slice, no salt & cooked under charcoal. But in Florence, they salt it in the end & drizzle w/ olive oil.

Still my favorite place to eat in a Chicago. Absolutely superb.
WHY IN THE FUCK AM I DOING THIS TO MYSELF??!?!?! THE TORTURE!!!
Sir... Me too :(
***** I Agree! I'm getting to ready to drive downtown. If I only wasn't wasn't so buzzed ( ͡↑ ͜ʖ ͡↑)
wat
Shop smart, shop S MART
I'm running out right now to grab a steak... I can't take the pain any longer.
My dad is the chef there. Cheers. Welcome to a restaurant that will treat you as you should be. Cheers ladies and gentlemen
🐥
Your Dad does Gods-work.
Merciful heavens, why do I always watch this type of vid just before bedtime?
You're not the only one.
I'm a rib eye man but that T-bone could definitely make me happy.
This is what a call perfect Mob Steak.
They are in the heart of the Midwest with the country's best beef. How can you go wrong?
The beef I bet is raised in Colorado and maybe Texas. Illimois is full of pig farms.
Vinny said you can eat a nice steak in 30 minutes and wack a guy in less then a hour. Perfect place.
The best steak I ever had in my life and I've eaten in New York and Las Vegas, Texas and Alberta. Beyond compare.
The "special seasoning" is the old man sweating over the meat!
I dont know why i like watching this videos although its 1am midnight and im starving
charcoal grilling is absolutely the BEST way to grill meat. I look forward to eating at Toms
Cant wait till i can go back and enjoy the best steak around, thanks for the great food for so many years Tom's Steak House.
I love Tom's Steak House!
I miss Ted on Chicago's Best. He was great. Nice guy too.
"I just don't need to cook at home, i just come here." well, that's obvious
aldipeanutz that's because she cooks there, right?
Because she is fat he meant 😂
she's fat as fuck
Yeah other than getting a heart attack, her savings are going to be virtually zero.
MacDonald's worse... but thats what you can offer...So dont be jealous...;)
Outstanding food since I started going back in 1989
HOLY COW, and I mean that literally and figuratively.
A former mob outfit hangout
A total of six mobsters were "rubbed out" at Tom's over the years. If you were invited to a "sit down" at Tom's you better be bringing some heaters!
Jay Santos hey Frankie that steak could use another 45 seconds on the grill there pulls out the 45 duuduuduu.
well, as we know from "Goodfellas" made guys know their steaks!
they are customers.... what crimes did you commit? ever launder a little money? you mobster you!!!!
"We're crime and crime don't pay" - Richard Pryor
Im sorry but how can you not season a steak? No matter how good the steak is without salt it will always be even better with salt.
no he puts the salt after the steak is cooked
which is worse, do it before!
David in Italy we always season steak after its cooked because it keeps the natural flavour of the beef, also olive oil
Kevin Reynolds For some reason that's how they do it in Florence.. I experienced eating it when I was there. They salt it after cooking just enough to tase & drizzle with some olive oil.
after cooking it only makes things salty, you want the salt to merge and enhance the flavours
That steaks looks great and what a wonderfull place.See you there next summer!

Na man that aint weird your a Southerner we season the season
And yet another Greek restaurant on Chicago's best. Μπράβο πατρίδα
I hope people realize toms is a mafia hang out
who cares if the food is great besides I am Sicilian
The beauty of that steak makes me want to cry.
The best steak I ever had was from a steer that I made a pet out of! I raised him to show at the fair, he took second place, but his steaks were first place!
😂😂😂😂😂 that's some cow!
I had to come back to this video, just to give this place The GOLDEN STAR AWARD.THUMBS UP
My wife and I went here for our 10th anniversary. Best meal of our lives. unfortunately by the time we got back to our hotel we were too tired to really make it a night lol
...you didnt slip her ur T-bone?
Real man is not tired
Now I'm Hungry. Thank you -.-
Medium rare.....Ah, an Aristocrat
Goodfellas
😇
I just ate PB and J for DINNER, and this showed up in my recommendations. 😖
I'm right there with you my dude!! 🤦♂️
Why do I always watch this shit when I'm hungry? It never helps
excellent prime rib, kings cut, medium all the way. ribeye and porterhouse are also the best, at this steakhouse.
love the Chicago accent. I never know Tom was pronounced like that
Haha yeah authentic Chicago accents are unique and pretty cool
I now need a stake,but up in Scotland we have to make do with a deep fried mars bar 😳
A T-BONE IS A DIFFERENT CUT FROM A PORTERHOUSE, TED
More like the Sopranos house

Just by looking on that steak ,, is like looking back at you with a huge smile from that steak 😋😋
While active duty USN, we spent some time in Malta, I had a steak bigger than my plate 2 inches thick. I love steaks, being born in the great state of TEXAS. This STEAK was the best I have ever had before,i have not had any steak better than it.
A steak better than you can find in Texas?😲
''I'd like to take you out on a nice steak dinner."
Delicious
These guys really know how to grill a proper steak! Thank you!
1:43 this guy looks like he knows what he's talking about
I cringed when they cooked it without salt. When I saw the A1 I stopped the vid.
PUNKem733 without a doubt a very mediocre steak
A troll on TH-cam. How odd....
PUNKem733 I put a homemade steak rub on mine. And sometimes top it with a garlic butter .
That Au jus sauce looks like its delicious with the Steak and Fries >
If you see garden Ramsay helping in the restaurant you know to run lol
Is that Gordon"s bro?
I need to visit this place the next time I visit Chicago.
No you don't. There are Dozens of places better than this one.
Oh that's definitely on my bucket list
Fondly remember stopping in here for dinner with friends before heading out to the old Maywood Park (a few blocks away) for the evenings harness races. Was a mob hangout in the 80's and 90's (maybe still is)...oops, sorry there is no such thing as the Chicago Outfit anymore.
I would love a nice steak, I haven't had one in years, medium rare, fries, a salad, and a nice beer.

A bone-in ribeye is pretty delicious too.
Bone in ribeye is the king of steaks
The classic steakhouse. I am afraid to eat in restaurants since the pandemic began. Hopefully, we can return soon.
If your vaccinated the recommended the amount of times you have no worries. If you happen to catch it, it will be like catching cold.
@@interstategar I am fully vaccinated but have a heart issue so I need to wear a mask in public.
BUT DO THEY HAVE GABAGOOL
that shit needs some salt
+Ned Flenders ikr
+Ned Flenders and peppet
+Ned Flenders u salt/season AFTER the steak is cooked - otherwise the salt draws out the moisture from the meat
+susp1 1. why does tom's NOT use salt BEFORE cooking ? are they not GREAT ? 2. try no salt before cooking yourself - see what happens
+susp1 you either salt your steak right before the grill , or let it sit with salt at room temp for 30 minutes + , in between that time the salt will draw the moisture out and break down fibers then after 30 minutes it draws it back in.

WOW....wishing I loved in Chicago again.
You're not missing much. The quality of restaurants really went downhill. You can make anything any restaurant can make at home just as well or better.
greek people! great hospitality!!! mr christos 100% greek man the best stake is the plane one
love a porterhouse steak, hard to choose between ribeye and porterhouse. I'll take either one.
I've lived in Melrose Park my whole life, never been to Tom's
An mob outfit hangout back in the day.
I’ll bet those steaks are more than worth the over $40 dollar cost! I’ll need to bring a lot more money when I go there, and find a way to save some while I’m at it.
It’s funny how my dad works there yet I’ve never been to eat there
1:54 "TONIGHT I HAD A RIBEYE" and their cutting prime rib. Same but not really.
I love steak...bbq, oven, pan seared...I luv 'em all.
I was not hungry until I watched this!!!! YUUUUUUMMMMMM!!!!!
Can cook a 50 dollar steak at home for 20 bucks
I'm fixing to do that.
+Brian Maas Heck yeah... I bought a whole 8 pound beef tenderloin for about $55.00. I can get about 10 good sized filets and all the extra trimmings. The only way to go.
Brian Maas and prop do s better job
Even a little cheaper
Plus you can add salt and pepper!
We need this in Scandinavia Denmark 😩🙌🏼
The Shanty just north of Chicago has the best food that I have eaten in Chicago
Why I end up here in the middle of night
Best Steakhouse Promotion, wow! Kult...
I hate to say it but I will. Do you have to be elderly and Italian to eat there?
milincoln I'm sorry but yes
That's what it looks like. Im sure they'll go out of business soon.
also italians don't speak that english, they're just americans. Nothing to do with Italy
They are not Italians. They are Greeks.
Yessss
Very nice... But since you didn't mention price or weight its hard to say. But I thik we can top it in Texas!
Oh yes definitely and always will be more like the Sopranos very much.
Always season your protien!
That look good!
They don't season the steak?? How is that okay?
Exactly.
They put them in hot braising liquid. Besides, a good piece of meat is tasty without seasoning.
Nanorisk Sorry, that goes against every culinary rule I've heard of. You have to season things when you cook.
***** Apparently what you have heard of is only a fraction of the total culinary knowledge base of mankind. There is no such universal rule that mandates seasoning before cooking. Guess you have never heard of braising and steaming.
Nanorisk Oh I have heard of both braising and steaming. I have braised many times and have seasoned each and every time, as recipes require. I've never heard of steamed steak though...
Wow Excellency
My mouth is watering
Yummm...if Chicago wasn't such a dangerous place, I'd go...but....?
Porterhouse and T-bone steaks are two different cuts. The tenderloin (filet mignon) is larger on the porterhouse. (I learned that on the Bearded Butchers channel 😁)
Its the same cut. It just needs to be cut to certain thickness to qualify as a porterhouse.
that's it, I'm gonna have some steak!
really shouldn't have came here b4 bed. instant regret.
Allegedly, Tom's Steak House was a favorite place of the legendary undisputed head of the Chicago Outfit, Tony "Joe Batters" Accardo.
He preferred Horwath's on Harlem Ave in Elmwood Park.
If its a Porterhouse and not just a Tbone it has a lot more fillet, I have noticed.
Enjoying a great t bone and remembered this video🤣
why are hipsters telling me how to eat steak
That laugh at the end of the video... Very wear
I'll be there! Friday July 12th on 19th Ave. & North Ave. Melrose Park, IL here I come!
2:56 ... I think this lady thought she was smiling for a picture!
Salt and pepper is a must.
This steakhouse looks amazing...... If your 65+ years old and have lost your taste buds.
Best Steaks in Chicago bar none.
I saw it, I SAW IT, black and blue porterhouse!!!!
My noodles and mushroom dinner is going to look so sad now after watching this.
I know a great steak when i see one. Yum.
Tom's Steak House on North Ave & 19th Ave. in '19, I shall finally go eat there! in July 2019.
This is more like 'Bistecca-ala-Fiorentina' or Florentine Steak where you get a big slice, no salt & cooked under charcoal. But in Florence, they salt it in the end & drizzle w/ olive oil.
Independence House, Denver, Colorado....the best steaks!
It is not a dream it is a reality
This feels like every mafia boss come here to eat
Ironically this was a big Outfit hangout
@@khabbad can you blame them tho 😂
Saltgrass in Texas is awesome.
I'll fly to Chicago now!!
