You're Not in the Restaurant Business, You're in the People Biz | Danny Meyer | Podcast series / Marketing

Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Danny Meyer grew up in a family that loved great food and hospitality. Thanks to his father’s travel business, which designed custom European trips, Danny spent much of his childhood eating, visiting near and far-off places, and sowing the seeds for his future passion.

In 1985, at the age of 27, Danny opened his first restaurant, Union Square Cafe, launching what would become a lifelong career in hospitality. 30 years later, Danny’s Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG) comprises some of New York’s favorite and acclaimed restaurants, including Gramercy Tavern, The Modern, Maialino, Shake Shack and more. USHG also offers large-scale event services, foodservice solutions for public and private institutions, industry consulting, and educational programming.
