Ruth's Chris
Upscale steak restaurant
Ruth's Chris is an upscale American steakhouse chain known for serving butter-drenched steaks on sizzling 500-degree plates.
The awkward name comes from founder Ruth Fertel, who bought Chris Steak House in 1965 and added her first name when she relocated.
The possessive-within-possessive construction makes it a minor linguistic curiosity: We're taking the clients to Ruth's Chris tonight.
