Ruth Chris Steak House or Burger King?

I find Burger King much healthier as they don't pour butter on their burgers as RC does on their steaks. Also vegetables on the burger are fresher than RC. Only down side is the limited wine list at BK.Ruth Chris Steak House or Burger King?
Well I never got past the hostess desk at Ruth Chris. We were told we weren't dressed appropriately -- we had on causal clothes, shorts, shirts, sandals. So much for that. I won't step foot in that place again. They seem to have their panties in a wad about the way people should dress. But yet, there were other people there dressed in casual dress. So, guess they had their noses stuck up their ***. Forget them!Ruth Chris Steak House or Burger King?
You are making a mistake thinking BK is healthier. BK is somewhere between 20% and 30% fat and they add mayo to the burger. As far as RC, steaks are often 5-10% fat although it varies greatly by cut of meat and you can ask them not to put butter on the steak.

As far as veggies, on burgers, they are condiments because there is barely enough on a burger to care about and the iceberg lettuce is mostly water and no vitamins. The veggies available at RC is the freshest restaurant quality they can get. What you may be tasting is that they cook the veggies while BK does not cook their condiments.

The only problem with RC is the size of the meal.

I prefer BK, but not for health reasons. I think it's a waste to spend $150-200 for a meal for two people at Ruth Chris... the food tastes good, and obviously it's a much better cut of meat... but that's just a LOT of money. You can make a very good steak dinner at home for a fraction of the cost. And if you are worried about the health factor, you can cut back on the butter, or eliminate it completely.



Also for the record, I think that butter being poured over a steak is much healthier than ground meat. You never know quite what might be in the ground meat (viruses, etc), and a steak is a whole cut of meat where you can trim any visible fat or gristle.
Neither is healthy.

Never been to the steak house, but come on, how could it not be better? T Bones vs any fast food??
Yah, but at least in Taipei you could buy the whole Burger King including the help for anything at RC.
This is not any kind of comparison. What they serve is quite different and the prices are in totally different ballparks. If you want something fast and cheap you want BK. If you want to sit down and be served and pay a lot more than choose Ruth Chris.
