Zoe’s Kitchen, Atlanta, GA USA

I had just left Chuy’s. We were down in Atlanta for my friend’s wedding, and his father, Bruce, had mentioned Chuy’s after I had expressed my interest in investing in restaurant chains. Low and behold when I typed their stock symbol into Google, a location 15 min away popped up. I didn’t feel like Mexican, […]

MET Back Bay, Boston, MA USA

Yangshuo Resort Hotel, Yangshuo, China

The ride from Guilin to Yangshuo was an easy hour and a half.  A gorgeous hour and a half. An hour and a half that we wished had been slowed by traffic. Sprawling karst formations, lush greenery, bountiful farm land… it was wonderful being in the heart of China’s most beautiful countryside, especially coming from […]
