Danny Meyer, Peter Gordon and Carlo Cracco on Restaurants Recipes for Success

After private screening of The Restaurateur in New York on Thursday, Danny Meyer offered his 3 ingredients to what makes a successful eaterie: Location, Chef, Idea (Concept).

One of them was about diners who walk into a restaurant and don't like anything on the menu, to which Peter replied: Would you go to a concert by an artist you don't like?
