Launched: Gibson’s World Collaboration Menu

New Fall Menu at Morton’s The Steakhouse
Besides recently extending their hours for Sunday lunch, Morton’s has also launched their fall menu. Kick off with a perfectly seasoned Prime Steak Tartare ($33) with pickled red onions, pickled cucumbers, and Dijon mustard, before moving on to a succulent 10-ounce American Wagyu Ribeye Steak ($118) from Snake River Farms. Pair your steak with two new side dishes – Blue Cheese Mashed Potatoes with Nueske’s Bacon ($28) and in our opinion, the star of the seasonal menu, the earthy Roasted Hen of The Woods Mushrooms ($23) from Japan.
