Dinner Date

A PERFECT SWISH

78 2i3a2949

There’s no use burying the lead: Michael Jordan’s Steakhouse may be the most-impressive athlete-owned restaurant concept in the country. Elway. Arnie. Ditka. Brett Favre. They’re gold-jacket legends, one and all, but not a single one would make my list of hall-of-fame restaurateurs. When, after all, was the last time you ate at a restaurant with

You might as well stroll under a giant ladder, a broken mirror cracking underfoot, while you pet a black cat. When seasoned industry folks hear that phrase, their thoughts

62 268a7495

Imagine, for a moment, that the Fates—pushy little deities that they are—somehow persuaded you to take a totally different career path. Let’s say that you, wholly ignoring common sense and financial prudence, decided you were born to cook and run restaurants for a living. And, by some miracle, you defied the odds and hit it
