Ruth’s Chris and a great summer deal

So I have been hearing about Ruth’s Chris Steak House.  I have always wanted to go but I have heard that it is extremely expensive.  Now they have a summer deal that allows  2 people to eat an appetizer, main entree plus a side dish, and a dessert.  Sounds great!  I was thinking $50 was […]
