Sean Feeney

It was a separate restaurant, similar styles.

And I was excited about the opportunity thinking back when she was...

on Weight Watchers in our apartment and we were tasting that food that she was creating on the point system.

I had never tasted vegetables like this in my life where it's all I was eating for meals.

And I felt so fulfilled and I didn't become a vegetarian, but I could see, I could see it and it was delicious.

So to me, I got it right away.

We were going to have 10 vegetables and 10 pastas

Off-menu steak.

And that was it.

And then we were going to create six gelatos.

And everybody was like, you're crazy.

Nobody's going to come to that because they could get that at Lilia.

Well, I also didn't share that we had 5,000 people on our wait list.

And like, they'll come to Missy.

And to me, we realized that it is an amazing business when you are so specific and intentional with the concept.

And for me, going forward in this industry, any time I'll get excited about a potential restaurant, it's how dialed in can you be?

How intentional and direct with your vision can you be?

The perfect restaurant to me is a Missy.

is a Feeney, is a Red Hook Tavern, where you could have five items on the menu and every single item on the menu is so delicious and so craveable.

And at the end of every night, when you look at the numbers of what people are ordering, it is so balanced.
