Default Biggest Steaks In Chicago?

Not sure if this is out of place but Im from Texas and me and some of my Navy buddies were looking for a challenge. I tried googling biggest steaks in chicago and came up with no results. I dont care how much it costs but we are looking for 40 oz and up steaks to try out. If anyone had any suggestions Id love to hear some ideas.

We went to Lone Star in Gurnee but sadly the largest they offered was 24 oz. Im a little guy 6' 170 but I mowed the whole meal down in 9 minutes..........soooooo maybe a little larger steak would put me on my ***.

Not too terribly far from Great Lakes, they have a 48 oz Porterhouse for 90 bucks.

If you want a good steak I would recommend Gibsons steak house on rush street in the city. I have been there many times and have never had a bad steak.

Chicago Steak House. I think its still a 4 or 5 star joint. The whole inside is covered with memorabilia of al capone. Very expensive from what i remember.

Yeah they're pretty good. We used to do their HVAC/R work for them; LUX BAR; and the Gibsons in Naperville. Place is the BOMB! Sorry my comma is missing from this laptop lol.
