Ravamping a restaurant after shutting doors

Shant Mardirosian is the founder of The Burger’s Priest – which sold to Recipe Unlimited in 2017. Shant’s new restaurant initiative, called the Fourth man in the fire, is taking shape in ways he couldn’t have imagined in a food scene plagued by a global crisis. In this one, we discuss Fourth Man’s unique business model, the death of the food critic, why many restaurants will never open again, and how Shant has seen sales pick up in the wake of COVID 19 while much of the industry is being choked by little or no revenue.
