But 52 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: we're still um fighting the fight and and looking at 53 00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: other locations because even though I think the hospitality industry 54 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: as a whole has completely changed because of COVID, there's 55 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: also tremendous opportunities. So you have to be resilient, you 56 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: have to adapt, and you gotta you gotta fight the 57 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: fight every day. Well, an interesting thing about it, let's 58 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: talk about you know where I went at first, because 59 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about a lot of your other enterprises 60 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: you have available with the pizza bar, which is casual dining, correct, Yes, 61 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: I wanted to be like what you know, shake Check 62 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: was the answer to Burger King. I felt like there 63 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: is a need for artisanal pizza. I have a very 64 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: unique pizza and with all natural ingredients, and the pizza 65 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: has a long rise and it's highly digestible, high water content. 66 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: I am from Naples, my father's birthplace, and I studied 67 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: in Naples, and I'm really using fresh quality ingredients because 68 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: you know, you get what you pay for, and a 69 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: lot of the pizza chains out there, you know, you 70 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: can get pizza for you know, five dollars, but a 71 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: lot of times it's not really pizza and it's not 72 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: really cheese, and and so we really I'm committed to 73 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: the best ingredients, the best meatballs, of course, because I 74 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: am the meatball queen. And uh yeah that that that's 75 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: the goal. And it really was a huge success. Um 76 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: And to launch in places like Ground Central and Times 77 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: Square is where you want to launch, friends. And I'm 78 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: gonna tell you, I always busy. Whenever I went, always packed. 79 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: The service was always fantastic, because the reason I say 80 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 1: that is that because Gran a touristy, you know, a 81 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: lot of people come through their fast track, and so 82 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: sometimes you get whatever type service. I'm gonna tell you something. 83 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: The two times I went there, I never told him 84 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: I knew you I went. I always like to do it. 85 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: I don't come in there trying to get anything free, 86 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: to cut me a deal, and because I really want 87 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: the experience, and I enjoyed it, I took photos and 88 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: and all that, and I posted it on my social 89 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: media and I said, well, you know that was one 90 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: time I went through. They let me go back through 91 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: their gee because New York teak is my favorite city. 92 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: So when I brought a couple of more friends, I've 93 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: about one the first time she was female, and I've 94 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: brought two of my buddies. You know, guys, you know, 95 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: bring us some rough people into your place. And they 96 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: all love the pizza. Cuse hamburgers and pizza and and 97 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: is my two favorite things. And so your pizza, you 98 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: are right about the dough. The dough is different in it, 99 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: in it in it and it was very fresh, and 100 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: it was it was amazing. And so but when you 101 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: talk about the service, you talked about quality. Now you're 102 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: talking about I hear the word Dominoes, how you word 103 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: shake shack. That means you're trying to take your brand 104 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: in a national platform, which means that quality control is 105 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: very important. How do you maintain that? Yes, quality control 106 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: and consistency is everything. Um, you know, I've been in 107 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: the restaurant business for twenty years and I came from 108 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: fine dining. So thank you for the compliment on service, 109 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: because I do feel that even if you have casual, 110 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: service is important. And more than ever, I think we 111 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: lacked the personal touch. And when you get good service 112 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: and you get an actual smile from someone, people remember. 113 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: So that's really important. And Grand Central is very touristic, 114 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: but it also has a lot of consistent people, so 115 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: we have a lot of regulars. The bar there is 116 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: like Cheers at night. So, but quality control is everything. 117 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: It's about systems, a lot of paperwork, protocol, consistency. Um, 118 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: you know, you have to really build consistency. It's all 119 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: about consistency when you grow. So hopefully as I expand 120 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: to other cities, if you get my meat balls in Texas, 121 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: maybe I'll come to Texas. Will be the same as 122 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: New York. That's the goal. And I think the most 123 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: important thing is to not expand too quickly, but not 124 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: too slowly either. So if you have a good team, 125 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: you reward them well, set up incentives and and you know, 126 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: keep things consistent all the time and stay true to 127 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: your brand. Well, you know, the reality is we are 128 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: in COVID and it talks about people, and you like say, 129 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: you landed in great locations because the heavy traffic, natural 130 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: heavy traffic. Then you hear COVID hits starts limiting people. 131 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: Travel starts limiting, especially on transportation, especially on a tourist area. 132 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: That's where the town Square is really towards it because 133 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: people come down there. And then transportation wise, the Grand 134 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: Central station was perfect location. How did you pivot in 135 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: those two locations? I'm sorry, how did you pivot in 136 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: those two locations with traffic being diminished in those two 137 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: locations in Times Square as well as Grand Central. Yeah, 138 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: it's been very difficult. I mean we have to you know, 139 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: we're just talking with the landlords about renegotiating rents right now. 140 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: Delivery is also an option. But to be honest, New 141 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: York City is a tale of many cities right now, 142 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: so you know, on the Upper east Side and Lower 143 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: east Side, the residential areas, the restaurants are doing well, 144 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: but Midtown right now is a bit of a ghost town. 145 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: So it's it's very difficult. The idea is just to 146 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: stay consistent and to work with landlords and do the 147 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: best we can right now and ride this out. I hope, 148 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: let's hope. There's only so many things. I'm usually the 149 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: type of person I think most restaurant tours and entrepreneurs 150 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: are that we always find a way. COVID is something, 151 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's a once in a century pandemic, and 152 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: the way it's impacted New York, especially in Midtown, has 153 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: been quite devastating because you have all the people in 154 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: the offices still not coming to work, they're working remotely, 155 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: and tourists obviously are not there. So you're starting to 156 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: get weekenders. Slowly, I'm starting to see the light a 157 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 1: little bit. So that's that's been a little um, that's 158 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 1: been a little difficult. You know, we keep I've been 159 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: through worse things before, and um, the product is excellent 160 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: and we're consistent and we're gonna we're gonna keep at it. Well, 161 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: you know, you still do a TV and that's that's 162 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: been a huge opportunity.

We really are are it's a 423 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 1: it's an exciting relationship that we started. And you know 424 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: what's interesting, The number one Google search that occurred with 425 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: food when COVID happened was not what recipe, but how 426 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: to cook? So I'm hoping and I think you're the 427 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: same way, that there is a return to cooking because 428 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: it's a way to show joy and love, you know, 429 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: on first generation from Italian immigrants. That's how my mother, 430 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 1: God rest her soul, showed her love to me every day. 431 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: And I don't know if you know this really quick. 432 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: I used to be a lawyer for half in half 433 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 1: a minute, but I left to follow my passion for 434 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: food because I love to feed people and I love 435 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: to bring people together. And I think at the end, 436 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: that's what it's all about. And when you follow your passion, 437 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: success follows well, you know. But I remember I've read 438 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: that we talked about it for the first time when 439 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: you left your career as a lawyer.
