š·āØ Some dishes donāt just make it to the tableā¦ they make it through time.
At Carsonās Prime Steaks and Famous Barbecue in Chicago Streeterville, Deerfield North Shore, and Milwaukee Downtown/Fiserv our Shrimp DeJoghne is one of those rare, legendary creations that refused to fade into history. š¤
A dish once found only in the warm glow of old supper clubs, where mahogany walls gleamed, wine glasses clinked softly, and dinner felt like an occasionā¦
we kept it alive.
Because some flavors deserve forever.
Our Shrimp DeJoghne is indulgence in its purest form:
ā¢ Tender shrimp resting in decadent garlic-herb butter
ā¢ Lifted by a velvety, aromatic white wine reduction
ā¢ Served with the quiet confidence of a dish thatās been loved for generations
Order it as the timeless appetizer or surrender to the full Dinner-Sized EntrƩe, complete with:
ā¢ A generous side dish ā our Famous Au Gratin Potatoes steal the show every time
ā¢ Our homemade signature coleslaw, crisp, cool, and made fresh daily
And thenā¦treat yourself.
Let your server pour you a classy, generous glass of wine š·.
Lean back.
Let the lights soften.
Let the room settle.
And allow yourself to be transported for a moment to the way dining used to feel.
Rich.
Savory.
Unhurried.
Legendary.
Perfect alongside our classic Carsonās signatures:
š„© Char grilled USDA Prime Steaks
š„ Slow-Roasted Prime Rib
š Award winning Competition Style Baby Back Ribs
š Mediterranean Thick Cut Bone-In Pork Chop
