Here's what's great about Ruth's Chris: The steaks sizzle. Yes, yes, it's a gimmick Chi-Chi's perfected long ago with fajitas, but there's something exciting about hearing your rib eye before you see it, and digging in as the plate's buttery, 500-degree contents sputter and spit. This New Orleans-born steakhouse — as immortalized by Fabolous and Ashanti, and as ubiquitous as Bennigan's — crowds early and fully with players and conventioneers. They come for the familiar: long tables, giant portions, red-and-black checkerboard decor, generous pours of New World cab, and servers' friendly spiels about the restaurant's name. Menu highlights include those juicy cuts of Midwestern beef, iceberg lettuce topped with blue cheese and fried onions, garlicky barbecued shrimp, cream-laden spinach, nine takes on the potato, and whisky-spiked bread pudding-all of which ought to come with excessive-calorie-content warnings from the Surgeon General.
