“My memory of why I first came here is very vivid. Jeffery Beam, the designer, was my mentor, and I was kind of his muse. He took me here when he first started. All these wonderful influences on me, these great guys, so many of them have died, but they’ve all been here.”

Bryant & Hilary Gumbel
The couple usually orders Michael’s famous Cobb salad, but recently they tried the branzino with olives and capers. They loved it so much, Bryant got the recipe from Michael’s general manager Steve Millington, and he made it himself for Hilary the night before the 25th anniversary event.

“I had been to some book parties [at Michael’s], but I had never come for lunch. When I got here, I knew every single person at every single table.”
