JEFF RUBY’S STEAKHOUSE NASHVILLE A Total Dining Experience
J
eff Ruby opened his first steakhouse in 1981 with the intention on building a total dining experience unlike anything his guests have ever seen. Almost 4 decades later, that vision is stronger than ever. He has often said that people don’t go to his restaurants because they’re hungry. They can go to the refrigerator for that. He believes his guests go there to celebrate life. And, for each and every one of those guests, he makes it a priority to deliver the very best steaks, freshest seafood & sushi, live entertainment and absolute impeccable service. He calls this philosophy the Jeff Ruby experience. Jeff Ruby’s steakhouses are perhaps best known for their steaks - nationally-acclaimed U.S.D.A. Prime Beef that has earned rave reviews from renowned critics and connoisseurs to celebrities and everyday steak lovers alike. The product is the best of the best: personally-sourced purebred heritage black angus that is simply unavailable to anyone else in the country. Their sushi and raw bar is one of the best in the city offering a stunning array of sashimi and nigiri as well as classic and specialty rolls. The raw bar 14
JAN-MAR 2019
specialties include Alaskan red king crab legs, huge tiger shrimp and a rotating menu of the freshest east and west coast oysters. They’ve received both local and national recognition for their efforts. Jeff Ruby’s steakhouse has been named Nashville’s #1 best steakhouse, one of down town’s best restaurants, and have received multiple diner’s choice awards through Opentable. com. Their restaurants have also earned accolades from wine spectator, Travel + Leisure, USAToday, Zagat, and many more. Most noteworthy, though, is perhaps the ongoing trust and unwavering loyalty given to this brand by its guests and friends. This devotion is very rare in today’s rapidly changing landscape in the hospitality industry and it speaks volumes about the manner in which Jeff Ruby’s steakhouse team values its guests on a nightly basis.

fter a day exploring the sites of Nashville, including the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, the Parthenon in Centennial Park, Nissan Stadium, and the Nashville Music Garden, stop into The Melting Pot for a delicious fondue dinner. You’ll find the Melting Pot restaurant on historic 2nd Avenue where the streets are lined with beautiful Victorian buildings in the heart of downtown Nashville’s entertainment district. Start your interactive dining experience with a cheese fondue prepared tableside, followed by a fresh salad with house-made dressings. Next is your entrée of tantalizing meats, seafood, and vegetables, served with your choice of cooking style and dipping sauces. And lastly comes dessert—a bubbling pot of chocolate fondue complete with decadent dippers like strawberries, marshmallows, and blondies. One bite of our delectable fondue dishes and you’ll understand why we have won multiple awards from OpenTable and Nashville Scene. The Melting Pot remains a favorite for romance, celebrations, and friendly business dinners. The leisurely dinner inspires intimate rich conversation that brings you closer to family and friends. Mark Rosenthal, owner of the Melting Pot, calls it the “Fondue Effect”. The Melting Pot is a must try in Nashville. Valet parking is available throughout the week for low rates.

Let the Pigs Fly! Jack’s BBQ
J
ack Cawthon’s Bar-B-Que has been a Nashville tradition since 1976 and is a crowd favorite as noted by the lines out the door on Broadway. Jack started on Broadway and now has three Nashville locations to serve the locals and the many visitors to the Music City; Broadway, Trinity Lane, and Charlotte Avenue. Jack began his journey in the catering business and soon became one of Nashville’s Society Caterers. However in the late 1970’s with the economic challenges faced from the recession, Jack remembered this quote from Henry Ford, “Cater to the masses and dine with the classes.” With these words Jack made the change from catering and went into the restaurant business. At this time Memphis was the BBQ hotspot where pork was king and sauce was the boss. After much travel and study, Jack came up with his own style of bar-b-que he wanted to offer and describes it as a combination of Texas and Tennessee BBQ; introducing beef brisket and regionally inspired sauces in Nashville. In 2014, Travel + Leisure Magazine rated Nashville #1 over Memphis as the best BBQ city in the USA. Jack certainly had a part in this and raised the bar making Nashville a national BBQ destination. Look for the Nashville tradition and the flying pigs sign over Broadway, where guests can dine on the patio by the back stage door of the historic Ryman Auditorium. Jack’s BBQ features six hickory smoked meats and six award winning sauces. Order yourself a plate, with two sides and bread and dig in! Whether you order the smoked Texas sausage, smoked Boston turkey, Texas beef brisket, Tennessee pork shoulder, smoked chicken, or St. Louis style ribs, you won’t be disappointed!

While you are out exploring Nashville, take a moment to enjoy one of these most ‘decadent desserts” and savor every sweet bite!
