In Photos: Marcus Jordan shares snippets of father Michael Jordan's Steak House restaurant in Chicago
Marcus Jordan shared snippets of his father Michael Jordan's Steak House during his visit to the Chicago restaurant on Monday. Marcus shared a series of snaps on Instagram that featured pictures of the interiors of the restaurant and the food served.
Michael Jordan opened his steakhouse in 1998 in partnership with the Glazier family. The first branch of 'Michale Jordan's Steakhouse' was established in a 7,000-square-foot space in New York. While the New York branch closed in 2018, the branches in Chicago, Illinois, Connecticut and Washington remain functional.
The six-time NBA champion reportedly often visits his restaurant in Chicago, and many fans visit the establishment in hopes of running into him. In a previous interview with Forbes, Craig Couper, the culinary director, gave a glimpse of the situation:
“Any time ‘M.J.’ is in Chicago, he’s in the restaurant. He really loves coming in. You’ll see him holding court in the bar, or he’ll come in for lunch with some of his friends.
"Or maybe he’ll have dinner in one of the private dining rooms. He’ll definitely always interact with people -- but after he’s done with his meal.”
Michael Jordan has been explicit about delivering quality steaks at his restaurant, with their line of USDA Prime Steaks. The steakhouse pairs the food with some fine wine and tequila as well, including Cincoro, a premium tequila developed by the five-time NBA MVP and his friends.
