Lettuce Entertain You expands portfolio

Day after day we are seeing articles about the restaurant industry expanding. It is truly a sign the economy is starting to level off.

Prolific multiconcept operator Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises opened two Mexican concepts in Las Vegas on Thursday, a week after debuting its latest Chicago restaurant, M Burger.  Located at the Fashion Show Mall on the Las Vegas Strip, El Segundo Sol Taqueria and Margarita Bar serves Mexican fare and offers a wide selection of beer and margaritas. The concept also features a private tequila tasting lounge. Directly in front of El Segundo Sol sits Street Taco, a smaller “taco shack” offering authentic tacos and Mexican street food that will be open later to attract revelers on the Strip.

“We couldn’t think of a better spot to launch El Segundo Sol than overlooking the greatest real estate in the city — the Las Vegas Strip,” said LEYE partner Chris Meers. “El Segundo Sol and Street Taco are two new concepts that capture the flavors, signature dishes and traditional cooking techniques of Mexico, but in a really unique and playful way.”

The 300-seat restaurant serves several flavors of margarita, which are available in sizes ranging from 14 ounces to a 30-ounce drink that sells for $29.95. El Segundo Sol also offers about 100 varieties of tequila by the glass or in flights available either in the dining room or in the chicken-wire-fenced private lounge, which seats 14 people.

The restaurant’s signature tacos come in 10 varieties, including all-natural chicken for $14.95, braised short ribs for $15.95 and lobster for $29.95

The two Las Vegas restaurants opened a week after the March 11 debut of M Burger in Chicago’s River North neighborhood. All the menu items at M Burger are under $5 and made with Midwestern beef and fresh ingredients.

Lettuce Entertain You operates more than 80 restaurants under several dozen different concepts in Illinois, Arizona, Minnesota, Maryland, Virginia, Nevada, Georgia and California.

Duke Witte absolutely was amazing! 

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to Duke Witte for his assistance in finding me a new job in the hospitality industry. I was disgruntled with my previous job, and I was feeling very discouraged about my prospects. I had been working in the restaurant industry for many years, and I had a lot of experience and skills, but I was having a hard time finding a better opportunity.

I was contacted via LinkedIn by Duke, and thank goodness I was.  Mr. Witte was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. He took the time to understand my skills and experience, and worked tirelessly to find me a job that was a good fit.

Duke was also very honest and upfront with me about the job market. He didn't sugarcoat things, but also didn't give up on me. He kept me motivated and encouraged, and never gave up on finding me a job that I would love.

I am so grateful to Duke Witte and his team for their help. I am now happily employed, and I am so happy that I was able to find a job that I love. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a job in the restaurant industry. He is a true professional, and is dedicated to helping his clients find the perfect job!

Thank you again for everything!

Working with Chris Bovio made job searching so much easier! 

Not only was he available and involved in my search, but also knowledgeable regarding the position. Chris used his industry experience and recruiting network to find the best position for me and my skill set. My only regret is that my new job is so perfect for me that I won’t need to use Chris or Patrice & Associates later.

Thanks,

Nick Guarino

Bryan Curtis was fantastic to work with!

Bryan was very on top of things throughout my recruiting process to the engineering firm I accepted my position with.  I responded to his LinkedIn posting and heard back from him within 24 hours. He continually spoke with me throughout the process checking in regularly and answering all my questions. Bryan was instrumental in helping me find a great job.

Thanks!
