After weeks of drunkin' deliberation, and many late night calls to friends and family, I am officially throwing out all of your recommendations and going with my gut on this one. The name of my new restaurant in Chicago is...wait for it...
Gabba Gabba Hey!
Gabba Gabba We Accept You, We Accept You One Of Us!
I don't care, if you don't like it! I don't care, what you say! I Like it and it's here to stay! Seriously, there is a reason to my madness. The name has to be light hearted and fun! The menu will be simple and to-the-point like a Ramone's song. We will be fun Fun FUN all the time! We are joining the small group of restaurants in America that aren't afraid to put out high quality cuisine without the pretense associated with our earlier endeavor! In short, I'm creating a fine dining restaurant for the people. I'm cutting through the Bullshit and getting right down to the heart of what makes a dinning experience memorable; Having Fun!
Anyone who has ever worked for Danny Meyer knows how important it is to create a comfortable experience with orchestrated orders of service. Customer comfort is the universal law of the service industry. I am hear to tell you, you don't have to have a white table cloth to perfect this. So with that said, if you are a service professional who has mastered this art, want to make a ton of money and love garage rock, please reach out to us.
Gabba Gabba Hey isn't for everyone...but I am damn sure there are enough of you out there in this great city who appreciate having fun, great service, and mind blowing food good enough for my elite chef friends.
Note: Gabba Gabba Hey will unofficially offer touring band members visiting the city, free dinner! (The booze you have to pay for.) The key word there is touring! You have to have a gig in town that week to qualify. Cutting a record with Steve Albini for 2 months will not get you a free dinner every night, Frank! So what about local bands gigging you ask? That is entirely up to my discretion if I like your band and you are willing to let me sit in with you.
There is more! Restaurant industry people get a 10% discount on food anytime you visit! Chefs, if you bring your crew in for shift drinks, we'll hook you up...'nuff said.
