EP 9: A Conversation with Danny Meyer of Union Square Hospitality Group

Danny Meyer is one of the most influential voices in modern hospitality. As the founder of Union Square Hospitality Group, he's built some of New York's most iconic restaurants—including Union Square Cafe and Gramercy Tavern—and turned Shake Shack from a hot dog cart into a $3 billion global phenomenon. A leader who pioneered the philosophy of "Enlightened Hospitality," Meyer has reshaped the way we think about service, culture, and leadership in business. Over the course of his career, he's been recognized with countless accolades, including an impressive 28 James Beard Awards for his restaurants and team, and the prestigious Julia Child Award for his impact on American food culture. In this episode, Danny joins Steve for a conversation in which Danny reflects on four decades of innovation, his growth plans, and the personal values that have shaped his journey from restaurateur to industry icon. Thank you to HOST on Howard for allowing us to use the space to film this episode.
