“There are three things that people pick up on the instant they walk into your ho…” — Danny Meyer

It is sad that the more 'successful' a neighborhood becomes, the more it gradually takes on a recognizable, common look, as the same banks, drugstore chains and national brands move in.

Constant, gentle pressure is my preferred technique for leadership, guidance, and coaching.

Restaurants are like kids. You hope you understand their innate gifts, and then you let them realize their aspirations.

A great restaurant is one that just makes you feel like you're not sure whether you went out or you came home and confuses you. If it can do both of those things at the same time, you're hooked.
