S4·E68 Why The Hell Is It Called Ruth's Chris Steak House?

Aired June 17, 2025

Synopsis

Before it was a nationwide steak empire with a tongue-twister name where you go to impress your in-laws or celebrate a big raise…

There was just a guy named Chris, a sizzling steak, and a tiny restaurant in New Orleans. That is until a Ruth-less and savvy business woman managed to change things forever.

This is the beefy, buttery, slightly burned-at-the-edges origin story of Ruth’s Chris Steak House, a name so confusing, you’d think someone lost a bet. Turns out, the story is even more interesting than that.
