Today’s guest is Danny Meyer, the legendary restaurateur, entrepreneur, investor, and founder of Shake Shack and Union Square Hospitality Group, which includes iconic spots like Gramercy Tavern, Union Square Cafe, Ci Siamo, and Daily Provisions. Danny joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about his new book, “What Could Possibly Go Right?,” out tomorrow, and the lessons he’s learned from decades in the restaurant business.
Danny explains why he doesn’t like to give advice, why it’s not a failure to close a restaurant, the first time President Barack Obama visited one of his restaurants, and why Ina Garten is one of his mentors. He also answers questions from the Cherry Bombe Substack chat.
Thank you to Barilla, Ketel One, and California Prunes for supporting our show.
