Ruth's Chris Steak House - Calgary Alberta

First off let me tell you that I am not a Meat eater. I eat very small quantities of Meat and when it comes down to it I am extremely picky. That being said, I do realize Meat can be delicious. In fact the reason I do eat so little has to do with the fact that something died for my meal, I find it disrespectful to think of a cow dying to become a McDondalds Hamburger.

Ruth's Chris steakhouse is good, probably the best I have had in Calgary. When it comes time for me to eat my anual Steak, I will go to Ruth's.

Now let me elaborate on this for you. First of all the Steak at Ruth's is great, it's at least as good as what a seasoned griller could produce with a very good cut of Meat and some skill. However when it comes to something like Steak you aren't just there for the Meat. The service and the sides at Ruth's are also Top Notch. Our waiter was outstanding, he knew the menu inside and out and provided me with some Fantastic suggestions.

It should be noted that Ruth's is no a place for Calorie counters. Everything, and I mean everything is covered in Butter. Why? Because it tastes good .... Oh and the meat is nicely marbled ... This means fat. Why? Because it tastes better. Sure they might have things on the menu catering to other tastes, but come on, if you are in a Steak restaurant get the Steak! Take my word for it, you will not be disappointed.

Ruth's Chris steak house: Food 8/10, Service 10/10, Atmosphere 8/10

What do you do for a living?

I am curious about what people do for a living?

If there is anyone reading this blog out there please tell me what you do? Do you identify with your job? Is it something you are happy doing? I want to know these things.

On another note ... I am working with the Calgary Underground film Festival this year. I highly recommend that you get out and see at least one film.

This is the view from my window ... Well not exactly, the view from my windows has colour. This is a stylized vision of what I see every morning at work.

This winter is my 9th in Alberta and it's very similar to the fist one I spent here. This is a beautiful place full of opportunity and natural beauty, I just hope that I can continue to make the most of my life here.
