107: Jonathan Horowitz - CEO of Legacy Restaurant Group

Jonathan Horowitz As the CEO of Legacy Restaurant Group, which owns and operates The Original Ninfa’s on Navigation and the Antone’s Famous Po’ Boys restaurants, Jonathan Horowitz already has a lot on his plate. However, he’s also currently serving as board president for the Greater Houston Restaurant Association and generously accepts multiple speaking engagements for The Texas Restaurant Association, American Marketing Association and Rice University School of Business. He’s been listed as one of “5 Houstonians to know” by Houston Business Journal and also made their 40 under 40 list back in 2011 when he was indeed under 40…. He’s a friend, a client and one of the most down to earth entrepreneurs and CEO’s I know. He’s a passionate foodie and family man and I really enjoyed having him on the podcast to talk about the expansion of both Ninfa’s and Antone’s, the challenges he’s faced stepping into the company and his role in defining and scaling these two iconic brands. I’ll definitely have him back on as we barely scratched the surface on all that he’s into so enjoy this first part of our conversation.
