Ruth's Chris to donate birthplace back to N.O.

NEW ORLEANS – Ruth's Chris is donating its birthplace back to New Orleans.

Hurricane Katrina flooded the Ruth's Chris headquarters at 711 N. Broad St., the seminal Ruth’s Chris Steak House founded in 1965 by Ruth Fertel.

“The original building obviously has sentimental value for the New Orleans community," said Craig Miller, Ruth’s Chris CEO, president and board chairman. "We plan to return it to the community through a philanthropic gift consistent with our company's historical commitment to giving back to our communities.

Are they donating the building to the city? Because they like to knock things down.
