CHICAGO BEEFSTEAK RETURNS IN 2026 FOR 2 NIGHTS!!!
About this Event

CHICAGO BEEFSTEAK 2026


The Blockbuster...The Bicentennial...The Beefsteak!

It has been 50 years since Jaws brought in $100 mil. We imagine that summer kicking off as pictured in Dazed and Confused and ending like One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

US Beef consumption reached an all time high of 89 pounds per person in 1976

That number declined drastically to 56 pounds per person in 2022 while the chicken has crossed the road to 119 pounds per person (includes Turkey).

This, our hungry and parched friends, is unacceptable. Red meat is our foundation and no where on earth is this cornerstone of our diet more celebrated than in Chicago on a cold and wintry night where the faint sounds of laughter, music and the beating of tables reverberates down from the Marunde Ballroom at the Dank Haus across the Brown Line El tracks and into the soul of the city of big shoulders.

The shark in Jaws, affectionately called Bruce after Steven Speilbergs lawyer had the right idea. We challenge you to begin or reaffirm your commitment to yet another two nights of glutinously good times, January 23rd & January 24th!

You know the drill, here are the details:


As always:

  • Delicious meat prepared and served by the world class butcher Dr. Carol Himmels and crew
  • Suit/blazer and tie attire
  • Enormous open bar and crisp German beer
  • Hall of fame inductees
  • All You Can Eat
  • L ive Band


Friday, January 23rd & Saturday, January 24th, 2026

DANK Haus, Chicago

Doors: 7pm // 21+


Thank you for your patronage and hope you are as excited as we are.


Yours,

The Beefsteak Planning Committee
