Danny Meyer

The legendary restaurateur Danny Meyer’s new book, What Could Go Right, is about the unique culture of his restaurant group, from some of New York's best known fine dining institutions like Union Square Café and Gramercy Tavern to Shake Shack, a burger chain with nearly 400 locations. On October 8, 2026, Meyer came to KQED Studios to talk to Steven Wynn about what he defines as true hospitality and some of the highs and lows of his decades in the business.
