While many of the most prestigious eateries in Chicago require you to purchase some number of courses for an outrageous minimus of $200, there are a few places where you can get your foot in the door without paying a disguised cover charge. And, once you do that, there\u2019s no minimum to the amount you can spend.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re on a budget and you want to cause some trouble, try hitting up these hella expensive Chicago restaurants and ordering the cheapest thing on the menu. You\u2019re bound to receive some blank stares, attitude, and maybe even a loogie in whatever you ordered. <\/span><\/p>\n

While the 8-course \u201cTasting Experience\u201d (eye roll) here costs $155 and includes bite-sized portions of practically everything, you can skip that high cost and just take a seat at the bar, where you can order the oysters for as low as $3.50 each. I\u2019d love to see the look on the bartender\u2019s face when you just order a single oyster and a whiskey on the rocks, hold the whiskey, please. <\/span><\/p>\n

Not nearly as prestigious as Acadia, but significantly more expensive than your average dinner date, Chicago Cut Steakhouse is best visited during breakfast, where you can order a coffee, some toast, and a beignet, all for just $4 each. Don\u2019t bother with a side, though. Bacon is literally $6 for some ungodly reason.<\/p>\n

After Sixteen closed, probably from reclining popularity for obvious reasons, Trump Tower opened a newer, slightly cheaper, but still as-pompous-as-its-owner restaurant overlooking the river. If you visit here, you\u2019ll be able to order from their all-day menu, which conveniently lists \u201cs\u2019mores for the table\u201d for a meager $4. It would make my day to see somebody solely order the gooiest, most childish thing on the menu with a completely straight face.<\/p>\n

While it may be tempting to just give in and splurge for $50 for their prime-cut steaks, Morton\u2019s has plenty of cheaper bar bites options, but nothing less than $7. In fact, you can get a side of their blue cheese french fries for that exact price, and while that\u2019s pricey as shit, it\u2019d be hella funny. <\/span><\/p>\n

This high-end Chinese restaurant is impossibly expensive, so much so that their appetizers are the price of a normal meal at any other nice restaurant. However, there is one item on the menu that\u2019s just a slim $10\u2014maodou, the Chinese version of edamame. <\/span><\/p>\n

This award-winning restaurant is the cheapest in the mornings, when you can purchase a side of bacon, hash browns, or fruit for just $6. Yeah. Sounds pretty cheap when that\u2019s the most affordable thing on the menu, even though it\u2019s definitely still overpriced.<\/span><\/p>\n
