Ruth's Chris Steak House
 PROFILE
Ruth's Chris makes one ruthless steak. Ruth's Chris Steak House is the largest chain of high-end steak houses, serving more than 13,500 steaks a day. Its nearly 80 company-owned or franchised restaurants are located in 27 US states and Washington, DC, as well as five international locations. The menu features steak dinners, fresh seafood, and an extensive wine list. The company's humble beginnings stretch back to 1965, when Ruth Fertel, looking for a way to send her sons to college, mortgaged her house and bought Chris Steak House in New Orleans (later changing the name to Ruth's Chris Steak House). Madison Dearborn Partners, a private investment company, owns a majority stake in Ruth's Chris.
