The Executive Chef Package

The Table

Our kitchen operates on a simple premise: the human body was not designed for what the modern food system produces. So we don't use it.

No seed oils · No refined sugar · No soy · No gluten · No dairy · Nothing your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize

The Table — formal dining room at The Old Ruth, La Porte, Indiana, with two long tables seating 40 beneath portraits and fireplace

The Dining Room — Seats 40

Available for private corporate events

These tables have carried the heart and stories of every love-filled meal served in this house since its inception in 1888. They are the original farm tables — built for this room, in this house,138 years ago. There is love in every bite.

This is not a trend. It is a return — to whole foods, prepared with intention, sourced from the earth rather than a laboratory. The science is catching up to what common sense has always known: you are what you eat, and what most people eat is making them sick, slow, and tired.

We chose a different standard. Our residents feel the difference within days.
