Can I stop trolling this thread for a second to ask a serious question of you Gris?

I've heard Ruth's was the first steakhouse in the country to use a double infrared broiler like they have, and that one of the two families' owners invented that specific type of heat application. Is that true?

My guess is that it was the first, but I don't know that as fact. I'd always heard Ruth had it custom made for the restaurant, but I don't know that for a fact either. It's a mighty fine piece of equipment, though.

I might be wrong but I think I heard Flemings had that thing too.

We're talkin' who had it first/invented it.

Flemings probably does have it. Most high end steak jernts do.

i had always heard that ruths patented theirs. gets to 1800 degrees and whatnot. flemings gets to 1500-1600 and is built sort of the same way.

this could all be a bunch of bullshite bar talk though. LL's roommate works there so she would probably know

Yeah, I heard it was patented as well, but again it's just an "I heard" deal. I might have heard it from Beauxnes, though. He was a long time manager there.

I didn't realize y'all were only talking about patenting.

Again, same thing I heard. I didn't know if it was so far off that people would laugh at me and point.

My ego is too fragile for that.

don't need an oven to get to 1800 degrees to cook a great steak. cook mine on the stove in a stainless steel pan, medium to medium high, pat of butter and tablespoon or two of oil. fresh cut ribeye, 2 minutes each side, take off, put in a dish covered in foil. add knob creek to flame up, 1/2 pint heavy cream, reduce. also called steak au poivre but i use bourbon instead of cognac. delish
