The Buildout Podcast: Andrew Carmellini
This episode of The Buildout is brought to you by Farmer’s Gin. As a bartender, I’m always looking for spirits I’d feel confident pouring and recommending to guests, and Farmer’s Gin is one of them. It delivers exceptional quality at a price that makes it a true workhorse behind the bar or even your home bar.
Andrew Carmellini has spent the past decade building one of New York’s most successful restaurant groups. From the breakout success of Locanda Verde in partnership with Robert De Niro to hits like The Dutch and Bar Primi, NoHo Hospitality has repeatedly shown its ability to understand what New Yorkers truly want to eat and drink. And along the way, the company has even invented multiple cultural phenomena, such as the frosé and viral suprême pastry.
On this episode of “The Buildout,” Andrew joins Adam to talk about his career, the rise of NoHo Hospitality, and what it takes to keep creating restaurants that resonate in New York. He explains why he wishes more diners would put down their phones and stop letting “the box” tell them where — and what — to eat and drink.
