We were busy in the kitchen this evening with our second Chef’s Experience event and it felt so good to have a group join us tonight who has been with us since nearly the beginning of this crazy adventure! We always have a great time when Lauren and Dave and Katy and Nate host an event with us and tonight was no exception. This evening’s chef’s menu consisted of our Summer Squash Gazpacho, our Beef Tartare with Homemade Potato Chips, our Potato Pave with Caviar, Pan-Seared Halibut with Sweet Corn Ravioli and Poblano Cream, Pan-Seared Lamb with Goat Cheese Polenta and Mint Sauce and our Caramelized Challah with Roast Plums and Rosemary Ice Cream. Thank you to this group of friends/family for joining us this evening! We can’t wait to host for you again!
In the kitchen, we also had a group of OG’s join us as Angel and Jenn both returned as sous chefs this evening while Keith kept busy over at the bar with his signature cocktails of the evening:
• The Perfect Pear
• Autumn Moon
This evening, we were excited to be able to feature customized, unique, build-your-own floral arrangements from our friends Jake & Jake over at Petal and Plume! 🌸 Make your plans to attend one of their weekend events before their season comes to an end!
We’re also excited to be partnering with Maddie over at Mad Sweets. Thank you for what you do!! 🧁
As always, a huge thank you to our local partners who were featured in this evening’s event. We couldn’t do what we do without your support!

And with that, the Ruth’s chefs are back on another hiatus…! Autumn is going to be a busy time for us so we’ll be disappearing from your feed for a little while as we take some much-needed time off. But don’t worry, we’ll be back in November with an all-new menu. See you in 8 weeks, folks! 👨🍳👨🍳👩🍳👩🍳
