how it all started
about us
Best Effin' Steaks is a family owned business founded by Jared & Alexis Donato. Our story began with a shared passion for food and the love of bringing people together through great cooking. Jared, a Brooklyn native and Alexis from the Southside of Chicago combined their culinary traditions of both their neighborhoods and family traditions to create a unique dining experience.
​
The idea for Best Effin' Steaks was born when Jared's mother in law finally tasted one of Jared's perfectly grilled steaks (she's a tough critic!) and was blown away. Her only response was "WOW, You cook the BEST EFFIN' STEAK! You better start a business!". From that moment, the name and the idea for our unique home dining service was born.
Get to Know Us
Meet Jared and Alexis , the husband and wife team behind Best Effin' Steaks.
I'm Jared a native of Bensonhurst Brooklyn, it is there, and in my grandmothers kitchen that my passion for cooking and grilling began at a young age. Growing up in a neighborhood known for its rich culinary heritage, I developed a love for Italian American cuisine which I bring that love to every meal I prepare. Over the years I have perfected my skills, especially in preparing prime Steaks and your favorite Italian Dishes.

Alexis, my partner in both life and business is a Greek Italian American from the Southside of Chicago who's culinary roots run deep. With a passion for delivering exceptional side dishes to pair with our steaks, she is truly the mastermind behind our delectable deserts! My wife insures that upon request every meal ends on a perfect note! Whether its a classic family recipe Chocolate Cake, Carrot Cake, or an Italian Tiramisu with a Greek twist, her deserts are just as unforgettable as our steaks!
