All of these dishes pay homage to recipes and traditions dating back to the restaurant’s opening, per Secret Chicago. Since its founding by Gene Michelotti and Alfredo “Georgetti” Federighi, Gene & Georgetti has attracted numerous celebrity patrons beyond Sinatra, from golden age figures like Bob Hope and Lucille Ball to contemporary stars like Keanu Reeves and Mariah Carey. For over eight decades, the restaurant has remained under the same family, in the same location in Chicago’s North River since the day it first opened. In 2001, Gene & Georgetti became the first Chicago steakhouse to receive the DiRōNA (Distinguished Restaurants of North America) award, while this year it was named the first ever Iconic Restaurant of the Year at the Jean Banchet Awards for Culinary Excellence. For those truly devoted to following in Sinatra’s culinary footsteps, Gene & Georgetti isn’t the only great eatery he enjoyed — any of these 12 restaurants Frank Sinatra loved across the U.S. would be worth a visit.
