Skift Take
When your restaurant portfolio includes 37 (!) restaurants around the world, you have to get creative to stay involved with every single one.
Editor's Note: In September we announced that Skift was expanding into food and drink with the addition of the Chefs+Tech newsletter.
We see this as a natural expansion of the Skift umbrella, bringing the big-picture view on the future of dining out, being fanatically focused on the guest experience, and at the intersection of marketing and tech.
Bonus: We now publish C+T twice weekly.

Earlier this month, after a two-month closure and full renovation, Jean Georges Steakhouse reopened in Las Vegas's Aria. We caught up with Vongerichten during the reopening of his eponymous steakhouse to get his fast take on his business model (he likes hotel partnerships), how he stays connected to his staff around the world, and that new vegetarian restaurant in New York.
