Pappanicholas operates a popular and growing restaurant business in New York. Resto, his smash debut, serves some of the city's best Belgian cuisine, including a burger that is a perennial pick for New York’s top burgers. Building on that success, Pappanicholas launched The Cannibal Beer & Butcher Shop, a hybrid sandwich shop, small-plate restaurant, butcher shop, and beer place, all in one. His latest creation is a counter version of The Cannibal in Gotham West Market, a 10,000-square-foot food hall on Manhattan’s West Side. Pappanicholas will be speaking with his fellow Gotham chefs about cooperative entrepreneurship.
