After college, Ruth taught briefly at McNeese Junior College in Lake Charles, Louisiana, but left to marry and start a family.
Fourteen years later, Ruth divorced and reentered the workforce as a lab technician at Tulane Medical School in New Orleans. Four years later, convinced the position could not provide enough income to send her two sons to college, she decided to go into business for herself.
In 1965, while scanning the classified section of the local newspaper, Ruth noticed an ad for a steak house for sale - Chris Steak House on Broad Street in New Orleans. Against the advice of her lawyer and her banker, she mortgaged her house for $22,000 and bought the restaurant, eventually renaming it Ruth's Chris Steak House.
Ruth knew little about the restaurant business but, with a background in science, she became a great cook. What she lacked in experience, she made up for with hard work and natural hospitality. She only bought the best ingredients, confident that her guests would appreciate it. Soon, word spread of the fine steaks and quality service at Ruth's Chris Steak House, and it became a popular gathering spot for the city's political leaders, sports figures, media personalities and business people.
In 1976, the original Ruth's Chris Steak House was destroyed in a fire. Faced with a disaster that would have overwhelmed many, Ruth responded with character and determination, purchasing a building just down Broad Street and reopening Ruth's Chris Steak House in what remains the flagship restaurant.
Well aware of the restaurant's popularity, and convinced that the quality of its food and service could be duplicated, Ruth opened a second restaurant location in Metairie, a suburb of New Orleans, in 1977. That same year, at the urging of a loyal guest, T.J. Moran, she granted the first franchise for a Ruth's Chris Steak House, which opened in Baton Rouge.
The staff at each Ruth's Chris Steak House knew Ruth; she was revered for her values of hard, honest work and a passion for quality and service. Ruth's Chris Steak House quickly became the largest fine-dining steak house company in the world and today has more than 80 locations worldwide. The enthusiasm and sheer determination of its founder made it a greater success than even Ruth had ever anticipated.
Committed to industry and community programs, Ruth was the recipient of numerous awards, including the 2001 Ella Brennan Savoir Faire Award, the Restaurant Business High Performance Leadership Award, the DiRoNA Hall of Fame Award, Executive of the Year from Restaurants & Institutions Magazine, and the Horatio Alger Award. Throughout the years, until her death in 2002, Ruth was a popular fixture at the Broad Street restaurant.
Today, Ruth's Chris Steak House continues to foster in its staff Ruth's legendary dedication to her guests. Ruth's Chris Steak House appears on "best restaurant" lists nationwide and has won countless awards and accolades from the industry and, more importantly, from its loyal guests. The members of the Ruth's Chris family are committed to upholding the vision of its founder: to treat others as we, ourselves, would want to be treated. In doing so, we honor Ruth's devotion to the industry, her genuine spirit, and her love for her work.

Yes. That is why noone should use DAS.

I won't go back anytime soon. It was nice, but now that I have been there I don't have an urge to return. I think Carver's in Roseville is of a similar quality, but much easier on the wallet.
