Ruth's Chris Steak House - Pasadena

One of the world's most successful steakhouses since 1965 when Ruth Fertel opened the first one in New Orleans, Ruth's Chris Steak House is known for the "sizzle." That's the sound their quick-seared U.S.D.A. Prime steaks make as they hit the chain's signature 500-degrees-Fahrenheit-heated ceramic serving dish (don't touch that plate!) and are slathered with butter just before they hit your table. You'll feel the New Orleans influence when you taste the appetizers, many of which are served up with a spicy Creole Remoulade sauce. Save room for another taste of NOLA for dessert, for the Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce comes straight from Ruth's original kitchen.
