Ruth's Chris Steak House: Wide Open to a Hostile Bid

I have found that Ruth's Chris Steak Houses vary greatly from restaurant to restaurant. It is my belief that the ones that are owned by franchisees are of better quality and consistency. The product is not the same as it was a few years ago. You can tell that once the current ownership tookover they lost that vision that Ruth had. I mean, how could they move to Florida after the hurricane? Poor Ruth must be rolling over in her grave. The product/concept as a whole is still very well recoginized and is still valuable, they just need different leadership. I think they are still the market leader in high end steak houses, but the gap has closed a lot.
