Discover the resilient history behind one of Calgary’s premier steak houses.
In the heart of New Orleans, when few women dared to defy the limits of their circumstances, Ruth Fertel saw beyond the ordinary. In 1965, as a single mother with two young sons, she took a risk that would change the culinary world. Mortgaging her home, she bought a modest restaurant called Chris Steak House, a small corner of possibility in a world that offered few to women like her.
Her steaks, flame-kissed to perfection and served sizzling, became a metaphor for her approach to life — bold, unapologetic and full of heart. Fertel’s unyielding commitment to quality, her determination to put guests first and her sheer resilience became the blueprint for a brand that would transcend generations.Today, Ruth’s Chris Steak House spans the globe with 100 locations in 21 countries and a legacy as rich and enduring as the steaks that made it famous.
