To celebrate Northern Kentucky University's first appearance in the NCAA Tournament in their first year of Division I eligibility, Jeff Ruby is inviting all of the school's 15,000 undergrad students to his steakhouses for a free dinner if Norse takes down the University of Kentucky in their Indianapolis showdown Friday.

“It’s just incredible what they’ve done with their program,” Ruby said in a written statement. “To climb into Division I and then make the tournament in their first year is unbelievable. I wanted to do something big to reward them – what’s better than offering a steak dinner to every student to celebrate a first round win?

Ruby estimates a campus-wide steak dinner at his restaurants would "well exceed" $1 million. If each student ordered the cheapest option for a steak dinner, it would total $755,424.

“I’m currently putting my surrogate son, Griffin Urlage, through NKU and continue to be very impressed with this school.” Ruby said. “NKU is virtually in our back yard and we’ve watched it grow at an amazing rate since we started building our own businesses in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky in 1981. It’s a true success story and they’re just getting started.
 
Malone's has since clarified that by "Steak Dinner" they meant "Central Ky chicken fried steak". Gravy is extra (which is where the money is).

I take clients to both Ruby's and Malone's often. Ruby's is certainly a better "experience" than Malone's, but I've never had a client tell me they enjoy the food in either place more than the other.
 
I'm sure when the Ruby's in Lexington opens you'll say it doesn't hold a match to the Louisville location too :D
Jeff's just trying to throw you country folk a bone, and give you a little taste of the good life. You're right though, it still won't be on par with his Louisville location. :cool:

I'll tell ya, for a guy born and raised in Canada, I couldn't pick a more different place to live than Kentucky. Polar opposites.

Malones doesn't hold a match to Jeff Ruby's or Pats for that matter.

Ruby's > Malones > Pats.

Actually, I am very sorry to say, Pats is disappointing. Sorry because I love the history of the bar and the idea of Pats, but it's not even top 5 for Louisville steakhouses

Actually Malone's (best in lessington) is pretty damn good, but it ain't Jeff Ruby's. Pats used to be very good but it has lost some of it's luster in the past few years. There are 5 or 6 better (much) steakhouses in Louisville than Pat's.

GO CARDS - BEAT EVERYBODY!!! God Bless America!!!

Haven't been to Pats in a long time. Seemed to be losing

Like Ruby's and Ruth's Chris a lot, but partial to Z Oyster right now.

But IMO Cast Iron Steakhouse on River Rd is great for the price, and eat there regularly.
 
The best in Louisville (in my opinion) and in no certain order are: Jeff Ruby, Ruth Chris, Morton's, Merlots, Z Oyster. And maybe Jack Fry's. I have to agree on Cast Iron specially on pricing.

Actually JHarrod's (also on River Road) is very good (fair steak) for their menu and great on Sunday's when they feature "comfort food". And if you like chicken livers you gotta try theirs. I get the appetizer size with a side of cabbage casserole. YUM good.

I haven't been to Malone's steakhouse in Lexington, but I'm sure it smells like cow poo just like everything else there (I kid). Just wanted to vouch for Le Moo in Louisville. I took my wife there for our anniversary and it was top notch.

I don't bet on basketball but our road is alot easier than uakay's. You have to beat Wichita State who is a lot better than NKU. After Michigan our road gets a little bit easier and you guys have to face UCLA who beat you in corupt arena. I assure you you just might want to retract your so called bet. Let us rehash Friday's games: we missed our first 10 shots and still won by 15 (spread was 20) and uahkay had double diget leads on at least two occasions and had to hang on to win by nine (also a twenty point spread) over a team that was appearing in their FIRST ever NCAA tourney. With that information maybe you want to RETHINK your brash and arrogant offer of a bet.

I don't bet on ballgames either, but IMO both have really difficult 2nd round games, and both teams could see their respective seasons end tomorrow. If that happens, nobody wins.

Michigan wants to beat UofL badly because the Cards beat them in the title game in 2013, and Wichita State want to beat UofK just as badly because WSU lost to UofK in this tourney the last time they played each other.

That's a lot of words to say "I'm too scared to take your bet." You should be more succinct.

Your continued arrogance, typical for a uahkay fan, shows your ignorance. Just remember you are on OUR board and that you are a guest here. You've gotten away with far more than any of us have ever gotten away with one your slimy board.

That's just it. He's not a typical kitty fan and thinks that he has zipp' blessing and can say whatever he wants.
 
I find it strange that some Mods will delete OUR posts in a heartbeat, but these "visitors" can dog us constantly, on OUR board....and it's ok.

I usually don't read their drivel, but it's still BS that they get away with it.

With our Mods' blessing. It's getting as old as ticket prices going up.

Might be some truth there but then, how do you explain how Msbeasley is still 'allowed' to post? He "dogs" UofL on the reg.
