I don’t know about you but I am already feeling the stresses of the holiday season and the holidays aren't even here yet! What with planning my family's Halloween costumes, preparing for my daughter's birthday party and scheduling our family Christmas photos, I've definitely got a full plate.  Of course, I don't want to remember that I haven't started Christmas shopping yet either!  It seems as though every time I turn around something else is coming up that needs to be done.

Before the holidays completely overwhelm me, I think it's extremely important to have a wonderful night out to regroup and enjoy myself.  Thankfully, Ruth's Chris Steak House is providing the perfect solution on October 18th.  Ruth's Chris and Taylor Fladgate are teaming up for a superb night of fine food and port wines and I will be there with bells on.

In my opinion, there is no better place for a steak in Houston than at Ruth’s Chris Steak House. I am always impressed at the quality of their food, for no matter what they're serving, I love every bite.  Taylor Fladgate is one of the largest and oldest port houses in the world and I am looking forward to sampling some of their quality libations as well. Combine these two superior brands together and you are sure to have an excellent night of food and fun.

The menu for this event sounds especially delicious with a nice range of dishes, including my absolute favorite: filet mignon.  Just look at what is waiting for you at one of 51 Ruth's Chris Steak House locations around the country on October 18th during the Taylor Fladgate Port Dinner:
