LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

RESTAURANT HIGH CLASS OF 2012 COMMENCES WITH STYLE AND LAUGHS

A huge thanks to the nearly 300 “students” and “faculty” from around the country that made Food Times at Restaurant High an event to remember. From the feedback we’ve received thus far, it was “mission accomplished” with respect to providing unmatched cutting edge content, great connections, and a fun and vibrant atmosphere. We couldn’t have done it without you and our amazing Restaurant High partners, for which we are sincerely appreciative.

Our singular goal is to provide the highest level of service and expertise to our restaurant industry clients with an unrivaled commitment to the greatest industry in the world. Because of your support, our restaurant team has grown to more than 50 attorneys nationally covering more than 15 key substantive areas of law and business that impact restaurateurs on a routine basis. We thank you for the opportunity to serve you and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Until next year, I’ll leave you with the commencement address words of Principal Judge Reinhold, “Learn it. Know it. Cook it!”
