Ruth Chris Steak House

Founded by Ruth Fertel, a single mother of two, in 1965, after she bought the existing Chris Steak House in New Orleans.

In buying the restaurant, Fertel had to agree that the restaurant keep the "Chris" name for a specified period of time. After the original location sustained a kitchen fire, she relocated the restaurant about one-half mile (0.9 km) to the west on Broad Street and renamed the re...built establishment "Ruth's Chris."

Under the purchase agreement, the name "Chris Steak House" could not be used at any other location, and she did not want to lose customers already familiar with the Chris name.

Fertel started to franchise the restaurant in the 1970s to locations throughout the United States and the world.
