Friend of the pod Marc Forgione returns to discuss the inspiration for his new restaurant One Fifth, how and why he assumed ownership of Peasant, and his love of landmark spaces.
A few weeks ago, Marc Forgione opened his latest New York City restaurant, One Fifth, in a storied space in Greenwich Village. In his second appearance on the pod, recorded in Marc's Chelsea home, he shares the inspiration for this new market-driven project, his affection for landmark New York City restaurant spaces, how and why he took over the beloved Peasant in lower Manhattan, and explains the name behind his new Respect Hospitality Group.
