Calling all Windy City Folks, I have one night in Chicago coming up and my hope is to dine at an authentic Chicago landmark. This meal carries a few stipulations:

1. Non-Chain
2. Budget minded, $30-40 range
3. A place you would call "The Real Chicago"
4. Downtown location

I have dined at The Chop House already.

Thanks for any suggestions.
