Charleston's last Ruby Tuesday closes its doors permanently

CHARLESTON — A restaurant chain known for an all-you-can-eat salad bar, burgers, ribs and more has shut down its grills.

Say goodbye to the line at Chubby Fish. The Charleston seafood spot is adding reservations.

CHARLESTON — For the past eight years, Chubby Fish has become known for its dynamic, fresh-off-the-dock-driven menu, hand-lettered on black magnetic strips and affixed to a broad metal board above the small counter in the back of the 38-seat restaurant.

The Rescue After the Rescue

When animals are removed from a neglectful situation, the rescue doesn’t end when they walk through the shelter doors. In many ways, that is where the next chapter begins. Earlier this summer, Charleston Animal Society found itself taking in animals from a Mount Pleasant home as part of an ongoing animal welfare investigation. The circumstances surrounding the case are still being handled through the legal system, but for the animals involved, their needs don’t wait for a court date.
