Graydon Carter Thinks ‘Restaurants Are the Soul of the City’ | Eater NY

"I was having dinner with Roberto Benabib at Elaine’s one night," Carter told restaurateur John McDonald. "Roberto’s a television showrunner and he was about to do Weeds, I think." They saw a sign that it was for sale and they decided to buy it, an anecdote Carter uses to describe how some of his restaurant acquisitions began." - Melissa McCart
