NYC Restaurant Innovators Sponsored By Heineken: Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi, And Jeff Zalaznick, Michelin Meets Mulberry Street

[Table setting at Parm] Who are people in industry you respect? Who else do you find innovative? Rich: “Dave (David Chang) has definitely been a huge source of inspiration for us. He’s definitely at the top of our list.” Mario: “He’s someone we worked with in our early 20s in restaurants, so to have a friend be the first one to make it out of our group for the first time was a real motivation for us.” (Editor’s Note: They all worked at Café Boulud together at the ages of 22.)
