Steuben's Steal!

I LOVE Steuben's... deeply... If you haven't tried this Uptown eatery, it has been a constant on our restaurant rotation since it opened in 2006. Whatever your idea of comfort food is, it is probably on their amazing menu, and I promise you it is delicious.

During the month of April, they are offering a free order of their awesome fries with every take out order, which is pretty cool. (They will even deliver it to your car in their carside pickup spot in front of the restaurant).

But that isn't the steal I speak of, no no... On Friday The Hub had a hankering for Steuben's that we just had to give in to - but since his untimely layoff a month ago, we are trying to stretch every dollar... I decided some minor adjustments to our favorite orders would result in a smaller check, but not cheat us out of the fabulous food or atmosphere..
The Hub had the steak and cheese sammie this time around, instead of his usual Skirt Steak with chimichurri butter - he loved that they don't put anything on the actual sandwich besides meat and cheese and said it was great!
I had the Chicago dog, and frugal folks, this is where it gets really, really good -
The Chicago dog, which comes as fully loaded as you want to order it, and potato chips is $4.00!!
It is no wimpy little dog either, it is a good size and mine was loaded down with every yummy thing you could ever want on your dog - steamed or grilled - you pick!.

Now I am going to take this to the next level because it was also Happy Hour... The Hub was drinking ponies of Miller High Life - which he thought were $2.00. Nope, during HH those 7oz cuties are just $1.00!!

So, if you have $5.00 plus tip (and be nice.. tip well and build relationships with restaurant staff - they are trying to make a living too, and it is great to know the folks who work at your local eateries!) you could have a well-topped hot dog and a dose of "The Champagne of Beers" for your dinner!! Yum!

Enjoy!
