For National Meat Month this January, fuel up and maybe increase your brain power at Benny's Chop House (444 N. Wabash Ave. Chicago, IL 60611; 312-626-2444). It's possibly the city's only steakhouse serving a selection of 100% USDA Prime Natural, Dry-aged and Wet-aged cuts of beef.Benny's Chop House introduced USDA Prime Natural Beef to its menu a year ago, to rave reviews, making it the only Chicago steakhouse to offer three varieties of Prime beef: USDA Prime Wet-Aged, USDA Prime Dry-Aged and USDA Prime Natural. With the addition of USDA Prime Natural Beef, Benny's offers the highest quality and widest beef selection of any steakhouse in the Chicago area.
USDA Prime Natural beef is raised and prepared for market in a uniquely different way from standard wet-aged and dry-aged beef. The newborn calves are fed a milk-based diet consisting of dry skimmed milk, dried whey protein, dried milk protein, dried buttermilk, vitamins and minerals. After 3-4 months they move to a specially formulated grain-based diet, which they stay on for the next 360-400 days. This diet includes corn, wheat, alfalfa, hay, trace minerals of molasses and vitamin rations, resulting in superior tenderness and incomparably full flavor-truly a consistently extraordinary product.
