GOODBYE, RUBY TUESDAY: Ruby Tuesday closes 185 restaurants after filing bankruptcy. Once the founders sold out, back in the first decade of this century, it went downhill fast. I remember my daughter’s horror when the French Onion soup — once a signature item served in a baked crock covered with melted cheese — was replaced with a sad bowl with a piece of cheese toast floating on top. Whoever allowed that should have been locked in a closet and fed 1950s British food for the rest of their natural life.
This reminds me that once I thought they would learn from their mistakes. I was so naive back then.
UPDATE: From the comments: “Fox News is on the same path under their new management.” Harsh, but fair. Tucker is Fox’s French Onion soup. If they replace him, drop your cable.
