My time @nbcchicago as “The Food Guy” has been truly wonderful. But I’m excited to announce I’m moving over to another Chicago institution: Levy. I’ve known the management team @levy.restaurants for decades, and have always admired how they creatively feed and entertain thousands of people every day at venues all over the country, elevating the guest experience by surpassing expectations. In this new role - reporting to CEO Andy Lansing - I’ll be a culinary connector and collaborator. My focus will be on trendspotting, relationship building and creative execution across Levy’s industry-leading network of venues spanning restaurants, sports, entertainment, convention centers, cultural attractions, festivals and more. I still get to explore and discover places, but now that zone has significantly expanded across the country. My final report for NBC will be May 29th at 10 pm.
Wow. I wonder what the real story is, as it seems there might be more to it. Not being snarky, for real. Personal/professional reasons? NBC wanted to eliminate the position/move into a different direction? Regardless, best of luck and success to Steve!
