EXHIBIT 10.6

# EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS
AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of the 27th day of October, 2004, by and between RARE
HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as the
Company), RARE HOSPITALITY INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Georgia corporation
(hereinafter referred to as RARE Parent), and DAVID C. GEORGE, a resident of
the State of Georgia (hereinafter referred to as the Executive);

WITNESSETH:

The
Company, RARE Parent and their respective affiliates (collectively, RARE) are
engaged in the business of owning, operating and franchising the operation of restaurants
under the names LongHorn Steakhouse®, The Capital Grille®,
Bugaboo Creek Steak House® and others. Executive serves as President of
Operations  LongHorn Steakhouse for the Company and Vice President of RARE Parent,
and has entered into that certain Employment Agreement between RARE Parent and Executive
(the First Agreement), which was assigned to the Company. In his capacity as
Vice President of RARE Parent, however, Executive has and will continue to be exposed to
and have input in the operation and management of all of the restaurant concepts owned by
RARE Parent. The Company desires to terminate the First Agreement and enter into this
Agreement to provide for additional benefits to Executive and make such other changes as
are set forth in this Agreement

In
the course of Executives employment with various RARE affiliates, Executive has
gained and will gain knowledge of the business, affairs, customers, franchisees, plans and
methods of RARE, has been and will be trained at the expense of RARE in the development,
opening, operation and management of RAREs restaurants through the use of
techniques, systems, practices and methods used and devised by RARE, has had and will have
access to information relating to the Companys customers and their preferences and
dining habits and has and will become personally known to and acquainted with RAREs
suppliers and managers in the Restricted Area (as defined in this Agreement) thereby
establishing a personal relationship with such suppliers and managers for the benefit of
RARE.

The
Company and RARE Parent would suffer irreparable harm if Executive were to use such
knowledge, information and personal relationships related to RARE and its business that
are obtained and developed in the course of Executives employment with the Company,
other than in the proper performance of his duties for the Company.

In
consideration of the sum of $1.00 in hand paid by the Company and RARE Parent to
Executive, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and the mutual
covenants and obligations contained herein, the Company and Executive hereby agree as
follows:

1.       
          Employment. The Company hereby agrees continue the employment of
          Executive as President  LongHorn Steakhouse. Executive hereby accepts such
          continued employment and agrees to perform his duties and responsibilities
          hereunder, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
          Executive acknowledges that his position as Vice President of RARE Parent will
          be coterminous with this Agreement.

1.1.       
          Employment Term. The employment term of this Agreement shall commence on
          the date hereof (the Commencement Date) and shall continue as
          employment at will until terminated by the Company or Executive for any reason.
          The period from the Commencement Date until the employment term is terminated by
          the Company or Executive is hereinafter referred to as the Employment
          Term.

1.2
Duties of Executive. Executive agrees that during the Employment Term, he will
devote his full professional and business-related time, skills and best efforts to the
business of RARE, initially in the capacity of President  LongHorn Steakhouse for
the Company, and subsequently in such capacity or capacities as shall be determined by the
Company. He shall also serve as a Vice President of RARE Parent. In addition, Executive
shall devote his full time and his best efforts to the performance of any other reasonable
duties as may be assigned to him from time to time by the Company or RARE Parent, and he
shall abide by the employment and other corporate policies of RARE established from time
to time, including (without limitation) RAREs Code of Conduct. Executive shall
devote all of his full professional and business-related skills solely to the affairs of
RARE, and shall not, during his employment, unless otherwise agreed to in advance in
writing by the Company, seek or accept other employment, become self-employed in any other
capacity during the term of his employment, or engage in any activities which are
detrimental to the business of RARE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may engage
in personal investment activities provided such activities do not interfere with
Executives performance of his full-time employment duties under this Agreement.
Executives office shall be in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area; however,
Executive acknowledges that the discharge of his duties for RARE will involve travel on a
regular basis from his office in Atlanta, Georgia.

4.       
          Noncompetition. Executive covenants and agrees that during the term of
          his employment by the Company and for a period of one (1) year immediately
          following the termination of Executives employment by the Company for any
          reason whatsoever, Executive will not, within the area described on Exhibit
          B hereto (the Restricted Area), directly or indirectly compete
          with RARE in connection with a business, any significant portion of which
          involves the development, opening, operation or franchising of restaurants that
          derive more than twenty-five percent (25%) of their food sales from steak
          products, if RARE is still engaged in such business in such area.

4.1
Definition of Compete. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term

over-the-counter market), or (iii) communicating to any such competing entity or
enterprise the names or addresses or any other information concerning any employee or
supplier of RARE or any successor to the goodwill of RARE with respect to the business of
RARE.

5.       
          Confidentiality. Executive recognizes and acknowledges that by reason of
          his employment by and service to the Company, as well as his service to RARE
          Parent, he will have access to all trade secrets and other confidential
          information of RARE including, but not limited to, confidential: pricing
          information, marketing information, sales techniques of RARE, confidential
          records, RAREs expansion plans, restaurant development and marketing
          techniques, operating procedures, training programs and materials, business
          plans, franchise arrangements, plans and agreements, information regarding
          suppliers, product quality and control procedures, financial statements and
          projections and other information regarding the operation of RAREs
          restaurants (hereinafter referred to as the Confidential
          Information). Executive acknowledges that such Confidential Information is
          a valuable and unique asset of the Company and of RARE and covenants that he
          will not, either during the term of his employment by the Company or for a
          period of two (2) years thereafter, disclose any such Confidential Information
          to any person for any reason whatsoever (except as his duties for the Company
          may require) without the prior written authorization of the Companys Chief
          Executive Officer. Executive agrees that he will not copy any Confidential
          Information except as the performance of his duties for the Company may require
          and that upon the termination of his employment by the Company, he shall return
          all Confidential Information and any copies thereof in his possession to the
          Company. Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that the prohibitions against
          disclosure of Confidential Information recited herein are in addition to, and
          not in lieu of, any rights or remedies which the Company may have available
          pursuant to the laws of any jurisdiction or at common law to prevent the
          disclosure of trade secrets or proprietary information, and the enforcement by
          the Company of its rights and remedies pursuant to this Agreement shall not be
          construed as a waiver of any other rights or available remedies which it may
          possess in law or equity absent this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
          the Company acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained herein shall restrict
          or otherwise prohibit or prevent disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant
          to legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar
          process. Executive agrees that if disclosure of Confidential Information is
          requested or required pursuant to any such process, he shall provide the Company
          with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement so that the
          Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive
          compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, in the absence of a
          protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by the Company,
          Executive is nonetheless, legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information
          to any tribunal or other agency, Executive may, without liability hereunder,
          disclose to such tribunal or other agency only that portion of the Confidential
          Information which Executive is legally required to disclose, Executive agrees to
          cooperate with the Company to obtain an appropriate protective order or other
          reliable assurance that such tribunal or other agency will accord the
          Confidential Information confidential treatment. The Company also acknowledges
          and agrees that Confidential Information shall not include any information (a)
          known by Executive prior to his employment by any of the RARE affiliates and
          learned by Executive other than as a result of his employment relationship with
          a RARE affiliate, (b) independently developed by the Executive outside of the
          scope of his employment relationship with the RARE affiliates or (c) that is or
          becomes publicly available through no breach by the Executive of his obligation
          to the Company.

6.       
          Non-Solicitation of Employees. Executive covenants that during the term
          of his employment by the Company, and during the two (2) year period immediately
          following the termination of such employment, Executive will neither directly
          nor indirectly induce or attempt to induce any employee of a RARE affiliate to
          terminate his or her employment to go to work for any other employer in a
          business competing with that of any RARE affiliate.

7.       
          Hiring of Employees. Executive covenants that during the term of his
          employment by the Company, and during the one (1) year period immediately
          following the termination of such employment, Executive will neither directly
          nor indirectly hire any salaried employee of a RARE affiliate.

8.       
          Property of Company. Executive acknowledges that from time to time in the
          course of providing services pursuant to this Agreement he shall have the
          opportunity to inspect and use certain property, both tangible and intangible,
          of RARE, and Executive hereby agrees that said property shall remain the
          exclusive property of RARE and the Executive shall have no right or proprietary
          interest in such property, whether tangible or intangible, including, without
          limitation, RAREs franchise and supplier lists, contract forms, books of
          account, training and operating materials and similar property.

9.       
          Developments. All developments, including inventions, whether patentable
          or otherwise, trade secrets, discoveries, improvements, ideas and writings which
          either directly or indirectly relate to or may be useful in the business of RARE
          or any of its affiliates (the Developments) which Executive, either
          by himself or in conjunction with any other person or persons, has conceived,
          made, developed, acquired or acquired knowledge of during his employment with a
          RARE affiliate, or which Executive, either by himself or in conjunction with any
          other person or persons, shall conceive, make, develop, acquire or acquire
          knowledge of during the Employment Term, shall become and remain the sole and
          exclusive property of the respective RARE affiliate. Executive hereby assigns,
          transfers and conveys, and agrees to so assign, transfer and convey, all of his
          right, title and interest in and to any and all such Developments and to
          disclose fully as soon as practicable, in writing, all such Developments to the
          Chief Executive Officer of the RARE Parent. At any time and from time to time,
          upon the request and at the expense of RARE Parent, Executive will execute and
          deliver any and all instruments, documents and papers, give evidence and do any
          and all other acts which, in the opinion of counsel for RARE Parent, are or may
          be necessary or desirable to document such transfer or to enable RARE Parent or
          its affiliates to file and prosecute applications for and to acquire, maintain
          and enforce any and all patents, trademark registrations or copyrights under
          United States or foreign law with respect to any such Developments or to obtain
          any extension, validation, reissue, continuance or renewal of any such patent,
          trademark or copyright. RARE Parent will be responsible for the preparation of
          any such instruments, documents and papers and for the prosecution of any such
          proceedings and will reimburse Executive for all reasonable expenses incurred by
          him in compliance with the provisions of this Section.

10.       
          Reasonableness. The restrictions contained in Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 are
          considered by the parties hereto to be fair and reasonable and necessary for the
          protection of the legitimate business interests of the Company and of RARE
          Parent.

11.       
          Equitable Relief. Executive acknowledges that the services to be rendered
          by him are of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary, and intellectual
          character, which gives them a peculiar value, and the loss of which cannot
          reasonably or adequately be compensated in damages in an action at law; and that
          a breach by him of any of the provisions contained in Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 of
          this Agreement will cause RARE irreparable injury and damage. Executive further
          acknowledges that he possesses unique skills, knowledge and ability and that any
          material breach of the provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Agreement
          would be extremely detrimental to RARE. By reason thereof, Executive agrees that
          the Company and RARE Parent shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies
          they may have under this Agreement or otherwise, to injunctive and other
          equitable relief to prevent or curtail any breach of the provisions of Sections
          4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Agreement by her.

12.       
          Survival of Provisions. The provisions of Sections 4 through 14,
          inclusive, of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement to
          the extent required to give full effect to the covenants and agreements
          contained in those sections. All provisions of this Agreement which contemplate
          the making of payments or the provision of consideration or other items of
          economic value by the Company to the Executive after the termination of this
          Agreement shall likewise survive the termination of this Agreement to the extent
          required to give full effect to such undertakings or obligations of the Company
          to Executive hereunder.

13.       
          Warranties and Representations. In order to induce the Company to enter
          into this Employment Agreement, Executive hereby warrants and represents to the
          Company that Executive is not under any obligation, contractual or otherwise, to
          any party which would prohibit or be contravened by Executives employment
          by the Company and the performance of Executives duties as President
           LongHorn Steakhouse for the Company, or the performance of
          Executives duties as Vice President of RARE Parent, or his other duties
          and obligations under this Agreement.

14.       
          Successors Bound; Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon
          Executive, the Company, RARE Parent and their respective successors in interest,
          including without limitation, any corporation into which the Company or RARE
          Parent may be merged or by which it may be acquired. This Agreement is
          nonassignable except that the Companys and RARE Parents rights,
          duties and obligations under this Agreement may be assigned to their acquirer(s)
          in the event either RARE affiliate is merged, acquired or sells substantially
          all of its assets.

15.       
          Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this
          Agreement or any word, phrase, clause, sentence or other portion thereof shall
          be deemed to be illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision or
          portion thereof shall be modified or deleted, to the extent permissible under
          applicable law, in such a manner so as to make this Agreement as modified legal
          and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted under applicable laws.

16.       
          Withholding. Notwithstanding any of the terms or provisions of this
          Agreement, all amounts payable by the Company hereunder shall be subject to
          withholding of such sums related to taxes as the Company may reasonably
          determine it should withhold pursuant to applicable law or regulation.

17.       
          Headings. The headings and captions used in this Agreement are for

As

to each below:

Cause means:

(i)       
          the Executives breach of any material obligations under this Agreement;
          provided, however, that if such breach can be cured, Executive shall have
          fourteen (14) days following receipt from the Company of written notice of such
          breach within which to do so before said breach is deemed to constitute
          Cause for termination;

(ii)    
          habitual and unauthorized absenteeism by reason other than physical or mental
          illness;

(iii)    
          chronic alcoholism or other form of substance abuse resulting in material harm
          or actual or potential physical danger to RARE or the employees of any RARE
          affiliate;

(iv)    
          the commission by Executive of (a) a felony for which Executive is indicted or
          with respect to which Executive pleads nolo contendere (or any similar
          response), (b) any act or moral turpitude or (c) any fraud or embezzlement upon
          any RARE affiliate; or

(v)    
          the engaging by the Executive in negligence or willful misconduct which is
          injurious to any RARE affiliate, monetarily or otherwise.

Change of Control
means and includes each of the following:

(i)       
          The acquisition, at one time or over time, by any individual, entity or group
          (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities and
          Exchange Act of 1934 (the 1934 Act)) (a Person) of
          beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the
          1934 Act) of 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding
          voting securities of the RARE Parent entitled to vote generally in the election
          of directors (the Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities);
          provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (i), the
          following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control; (a) any
          acquisition by a Person who is on the date of this Agreement the beneficial
          owner of 50% or more of the Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities, (b) any
          acquisition by RARE Parent, or (c) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan
          (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by RARE Parent or any corporation
          controlled by RARE Parent;

(ii)       
          Consummation of a reorganization, merger, share exchange or consolidation or
          sale of other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of RARE
          Parent (a Business Combination), in each case unlessfollowing such Business Combination, (i) all of substantially all of the
          individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding
          Corporation Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination
          beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of the combined voting
          power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in
          the election of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business
          Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of
          such transaction owns RARE Parent or all or substantially all of RARE
          Parents assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in
          substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such
          Business Combination of the Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities, and (ii)
          no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination or
          any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of Parent or such corporation
          resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or
          indirectly, 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding
          voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership
          existed prior to the Business Combination, and (iii) at least a majority of the
          members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such
          Business Combination were members of the incumbent Board at the time of the
          execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for
          such Business Combination.

Disability or
Disabled shall mean that by reason of any physical or mental incapacity
Executive has been unable, or it is reasonably expected that he will be unable, for a
period of at least ninety (90) substantially continuous days to perform his regular duties
and responsibilities hereunder. In the event of any disagreement between Executive and the
Company as to whether Executive is physically or mentally incapacitated, the question of
such incapacity shall be submitted to an impartial and reputable physician for
determination, selected by mutual agreement of Executive and the Company or, failing such
agreement, selected by two physicians (one of which shall be selected by the Company and
the other by Executive), and such determination of the question of such incapacity by such
physician shall be final and binding on Executive and the Company. The Executive shall pay
the fees and expenses of such physician.

Executive acknowledges and agrees
that the geographical area described above is the area in which Executive will initially
perform his services for RARE, and that the area in which such services are performed is
intended to expand or contract as the locations of RAREs restaurants (the
Consolidated Group) increase or decrease. Executive and the Company agree that
as the geographical area in which the Consolidated Group operates expands or contracts,
the parties agree to amend the list of cities described on this Exhibit B from time
to time, or delete cities in which there is no longer a member of the Consolidated Group
to include each additional city in which there is a member of the Consolidated Group.
Executive agrees to execute one or more amendments hereto upon the request of the Company
from time to time in order to confirm such amended list.
