Over 40 years ago , Ruth Fertel took a risk and mortgaged her home for $ 22,000 in order to buy a small , failing restaurant in New Orleans , Louisiana named Chris Steak House . After a fire destroyed the original building , she renamed the restaurant “ Ruth ’ s Chris Steak House .”
Today , Ruth ’ s Chris Steak Houses are owned by Ruth ’ s Hospitality Group , Inc . and are located throughout the United States and globally .
With over 140 locations in 20 countries , Ruth ’ s Chris Steak House triumphed through humble beginnings to become a leading name in the steakhouse fine- dining industry .
