After five-plus decades of working in professional kitchens, chef Daniel Boulud is juggling more today than he ever has, with a string of recent openings and more to come. His culinary organization, the Dinex Group, oversees five Café Boulud operations (Palm Beach, Fla.; Toronto; the Bahamas; the just-opened Beverly Hills venue; and one planned for Riyadh, the Saudi Arabian capital). In addition to his seven restaurants in New York (where cellars hold a cumulative 40,000 bottles of wine) and the fast-casual chain of Épicerie Boulud, he operates fine dining outposts in Montréal, Singapore, Miami and Dubai. In 2022 he opened Le Gratin, a Lyonnaise bistro in lower Manhattan. And later this year, he will unveil La Tête d’Or, an American-French steak house at One Madison Avenue.
