A Look at Night Rooster, an Upscale Chinese Experience

From the team behind The Saint, Hooper Hospitality Concepts introduces Night Rooster, a modern Chinese restaurant in the Design District that feels considered rather than hurried. After a long-anticipated arrival, it lands with confidence—polished, intimate, and distinctly its own despite sharing an address with its sibling concept.

The Sizzling Saga of Ruth’s Chris Steak House

The name might be a mouthful, but Ruth’s Chris Steak House is more than just an oddly titled dining chain—it’s a quintessential American success story rooted in grit, risk, and resilience. At the heart of this now-global steak empire lies Ruth Fertel, a determined woman from New Orleans whose personal tenacity turned a bankrupt neighborhood steak joint into one of the most iconic upscale dining establishments in the world.

Ruth Ann Udstad Fertel was born on February 5, 1927, in New Orleans, Louisiana. A single mother and former lab technician, Ruth found herself in a financial bind in 1965.
