Ruth's Chris

[seacrestkristi]

I Ruth's Chris for special occasions though I haven't been in a while. Ruth, herself, once told Hubbabubba at the opening of Baton Rouge location, around 1985, to get that cheese out of her kitchen.
He gladly did and brought back what she wanted, only red wax coated extra aged cheddar, and sold to them for years. Very nice,quality folks and food. It was a new store and someone just ordered the wrong thang and he just got to meet her cuz it was new and she was there makin' sure it was all right. ;-)

Of course there's nothing "wrong" with Ruth's bolting NOLA. Its the manner and alacrity with which it was done following Katrina that leaves the bad taste. On the other hand, most everybody assumed that Mr. Benson would take the same opportunity to move the Saints to San Antonio. To his credit, he elected not to (OK, with some persuasion from the NFL), and aided the city's recovery and spirit in untold ways.

There are many good steak houses. In BR we have Flemings, Sullivan's and soon a Doe Eat Place. I can easily skip Ruth's. ;-)

I hope RC figures a way back to New Orleans. It seems the company is making so much money, it forgot it's heart and soul. Sound familiar?

When did Ruth die? Has the food quality changed?
We have Fleming's in Nashville too. That's where we went last special occasion. Very nice and delicious.

If you ever have the opportunity to go to a ''Sullivans'' I highly recommend this restaurant. I personally have never been to Ruth Chris' but several people who have eaten at both these places say Sullivans is nicer and tastier.

KOE is digging up so old, old threads....bless his heart!!!! ;-) He needs to come around more often.



So are you and I still you.

This is the year 2005 ain't it? Dang, I slept through a few years......my bad. I'll try and stay more current. Especially since it won't be long now till we hit the beach in July....sorry....the Ohio River just ain't all that exciting.....KOE

We are going to Ruth's Chris tonight to spend a gift certificate that expires in a week pissed: ). But my irritation over that little detail can be vented elsewhere.


Anyhoo, other than the obvious steaks, what do y'all order there? What salad is good, or seafood? I like steak OK, but would probably order something else that is lighter. I remember a discussion about this place, but couldn't find it. So you Ruth's Chris people, please give me the scoop! Thanks!

While dinning at the one in Nashville, a young lady dinning with us asked the waiter if the fish was good............. the waiter's reply............ (I nearly peed myself) .................... "Ma'am, this is a steak restaurant" Nuff said

My supervisor ate at the new Fleming's at Grand Boulevard last weekend (not sure if fully open yet, it was a trial run or training night or something). He said it was awesome; absolutely delicious. I don't know what else they had or what they drank, but dinner for two was $125.00. He still said it was worth every penny.

The Destin Ruth's Chris has issues. It isn't nearly as good as other one's I have eaten at.
