This just in: "Ruth's Chris" is the worst restaurant name ever.

:shocked:

In this spirit of inappropriateness and extreme bad taste, off the top of my head:

Over six million "served."

Oh man, I think we will have to join the guys from the .gif thread. :laugh:

Who cares...their steaks are good.

No, the worst name for a restaurant would have to be:

Wei Wei Noodles

I laugh and cry at the same time whenever I see that place.

You can make some pretty silly or obscene names with pho places. I prefer Pho Real or Pho Shizzle (ok, that one doesn't exist).

I doubt any of us could finish a large pizza there. Have you seen the size of their ovens?

But I agree, "Ruth's Chris" makes no sense for a restaurant, but it does make sense if you're talking about yourself in relationship to your spouse. (e.g. "I'm Suzie's Bill!")

ROFL...that was hilarious.

The reasoning behind it makes sense, actually:

The chain was founded by the late 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 rebuilt 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

It cracks me up all the morons bashing Ruth's Chris for the name. :laugh: It has obviously been very successful and part of that is because of the name.

Marketing and name recognition is what made this place so much money over the last decade. You think it would have done as well if it was called Ruth's Steak House or Chris's Steak House or some other forgettable dumbfuck name?
