Asian's Night Out, jLe's Birthday, Philippine Madz at the JW

It was another epic night at the JW Marriott as the West Michigan Asian community celebrated another ANO. This time, ANO hosted Jimmy Le's 32nd birthday along with hosting the amazing Philippine Madrigal Singers of the University of the Philippines who is in town for their concert at the Grand Rapids Public Museum tonight. The MADZ electrified the crowd when they surprised the crowd with
two impromptu songs, Man in the Mirror and Circle of Life, that left the crowd breathless.

A Steak Affair: Ruth's Chris Opens in Grand Rapids

I have been to many steakhouses in the world and this Ruth's Chris located inside the Amway Grand Plaza hotel has got to be one of the sexiest joints I have ever been to. Thanks impart to the Ruth's Chris development team, the design team at the hotel and the impeccable touch of interior designer, Wendell Gooch, of Wendell Gooch Design in Chicago.

I had distinct pleasure of getting a sneak peak prior to its official opening on Monday, September 12. The staff under the leadership of veteran restauranteur, Buzz Goebel, and chef, Chris Madsen, are prepped to launch the most
anticipated restaurant opening this year; just in time for the festivities surrounding the 30th Anniversary of the Amway Grand Plaza this month and the also for the highly anticipated rush during ArtPrize 3.

I will finally have the opportunity to taste the "sizzle" this evening. If the food tastes just as amazing as the interiors, then I can comfortably say that I will be frequenting this steakhouse on a fairly regular basis.

Welcome to GR Ruth's Chris!
