VANDELAY HOSPITALITY GROUP

Vandelay Hospitality Group’s first restaurant, East Hampton Sandwich Company, launched in 2012 to rave reviews and packed dining room floors. In the years since, Vandelay has expanded its offerings to include six uniquely designed brands and more than one dozen restaurants. New concepts are always on the way, and Vandelay’s leadership is committed to bringing central Texas the best dining experiences, again and again. At the heart of Vandelay’s success is the original design and fine cra... ftsmanship of its restaurant concepts, as well as a passion for serving up food and beverages that delight, surprise, and satisfy every guest. Every hand that touches a VHG concept, from the very first floorplan to the final placement of a garnish on a guest's plate, is meticulous and purposeful, culminating in a unique, consistent, effortlessly fun dining experience, every time. Vandelay Hospitality Group’s brands touch every part of the restaurant world, from fast-casual haunts like Lucky’s Hot Chicken to jackets-required steakhouse lounges like Drake’s Hollywood. Each restaurant, just like the food on the menu, is designed from scratch to deliver the best experience possible — and it’s been a winning recipe every time. Hudson House is one of Texas’s favorite restaurant brands, and each of its three locations delivers an authentic East Coast experience, complete with a raw bar. Drake’s Hollywood is home to exceptional cocktails, a genuine 1950s Hollywood atmosphere, and live jazz music. The group’s latest concept, D.L. Mack’s serves up delectable, “true Chicago-style” cracker-crust pizza in an environmentthat transports guests into the heart of the Windy City. At Lucky’s and East Hampton Sandwich Co., guests can experience top-notch food served at speeds that fit any schedule. In short, there’s not a single experience at a VHG restaurant that over-promises, underdelivers, or disappoints. Vandelay restaurant concepts have received numerous regional awards, been featured on the Food Network, and are routinely placed on “Best of” lists for many regional publications. This recognition highlights VHG’s ability to design concepts that are loved by all people from all backgrounds. Hudson House was named one of Dallas’ 10 best restaurants, and the lines at Lucky’s Hot Chicken speak for themselves. The Vandelay Hospitality Group creative team stays hard at work, constantly designing and launching new concepts, and menus every day. No matter which property, concept, or menu is being offered, the group is sure to help deliver a timeless dining experience that anyone can enjoy. That spirit of timelessness is what makes Vandelay’s offerings unique: No attention is paid to fads or trends, and a decided focus is placed on on crafting authentic experiences that never go out of style. Combine that with Vandelay’s unique culture, top-notch team, and penchant for simply knowing what tastes good, and you’ve got a winning combination for a hospitality group. As long as bellies are full, mouths are smiling, and people are together, VHG’s business will continue to boom.More
