May 11, 200719 yr Author I posted earlier, a question: Derby is extremely high-demand time. No problem if you want to be selective about the business you take. Would Ruby have turned the business away in January? I think, yes. He's not hurting for business and he is a "horse of a different color", he speaks his mind. At least that's been my experience around him. BTW, his restaurants are excellent. :thumb:
May 12, 200719 yr So he's a good and savvy businessman, I'd run with it too. What's wrong with that? Some of you act as if he planned the whole thing out. Would you guys rather applaud OJ? I don't think I nor HSSRB questioned his business acumen. However, if there's anyone that can turn this into a publicity tour, its the one-year Bluebird.

May 12, 200719 yr If I thought for a second that Jeff Ruby did this for reasons anywhere close to being the "right reasons" I'd stand up and applaud. Unfortunately, his reputation precedes him and I'm left (like many others) to take this decision with a gigantic grain of salt. Preach on brother hssb! On a side note, the two best steaks I have ever had have been at Jeff Ruby steakhouses and I will go back. I also agree he does a very poor interview. I think he has trouble processing his thoughts. Maybe this was already covered but didn't he fall out of a car and hit his head back in the 80s?

However, if there's anyone that can turn this into a publicity tour, its the one-year Bluebird.Wasn't trying to single you two out, there are plenty of others in this thread. I do agree though but like I said, I don't blame him, I would do the same if I could. On a side note, the two best steaks I have ever had have been at Jeff Ruby steakhouses and I will go back. I also agree he does a very poor interview. I think he has trouble processing his thoughts. Maybe this was already covered but didn't he fall out of a car and hit his head back in the 80s? Agree, excellent restaurant! :thumb: Yes, he did fall out of a car, I don't know if it was on his head or not.
May 12, 200719 yr I think he has trouble processing his thoughts. Maybe this was already covered but didn't he fall out of a car and hit his head back in the 80s? I guess "fall" would be the nice way of stating it, right?
May 12, 200719 yr I...I did? FInally? :eek: You hear that Elizabeth?! I'm comin' to join ya' honey! And this time, OJ didn't have nothin' to do with it!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

May 14, 200719 yr Author Galanter said his comment last week to the Associated Press that Ruby "screwed with the wrong guy" was taken out of context. He said he meant that when you pick on someone like Simpson, "you are bringing the spotlight to yourself."[/Quote]Yeah, they sound so much alike, I can see how he was misquoted. :sssh: Kellie Watson, executive director of the Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission, said it is considering filing a complaint against Ruby.[/Quote]
May 14, 200719 yr Kellie Watson, executive director of the Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission, said it is considering filing a complaint against Ruby.[/Quote]That would have about as much luck as OJ's suit.
May 14, 200719 yr Author That would have about as much luck as OJ's suit.I'm sure she's about as far left as one can get.
