They're opening a Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Aspen, like tomorrow.Last night and tonight, they were doing a little dress rehearsal.
By little, I mean that they filled up the restaurant with invited guests and fed them all for free.
Feeding a restaurant full of patrons Ruth's Chris cuisine at no charge is quite a proposition.
Last night I was one of those invited guests. Actually, I basically rode in on the coattails of a friend who really was an invited guest.
It was awesome! There were four of us, all women, and we had a great time. They had a New Orleans band (I don't mean New Orleans style, I mean a band from New Orleans) parading around the restaurant while we waved our handkerchiefs in the air in the style of the Second Line. We ate something like $350 worth of food and it was all fabulous.
We started with the Barbeque Shrimp, Seared Ahi Tuna and Sizzlin' Blue Crab Cakes.
We moved on to the Sliced Tomato & Onion Salad and Caesar Salad.
Next we had the Filet and Shrimp, Grilled Portobello Mushrooms, Petite Filet and T-bone, with a side of Sauteed Mushrooms.
We finished with the Warm Apple Crumb Tart, Chocolate Sin Cake and Creme Brulee.
Quite the marketing event.
Market to me like that anytime!
