With 10 properties and more than 800 employees, the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group (TKRG) has grown from one restaurant to a large family of businesses. TKRG proudly represents The French Laundry, Per Se, Bouchon Bistro, Bouchon Bakery, Ad Hoc, RO Restaurant & Lounge, The Surf Club Restaurant and The Coral Casino Restaurant by Chef Thomas Keller. The properties and people Chef Keller inspires are known for setting new standards in cuisine, service and employment experiences. Our goal is to collaborate with talented restaurant professionals and offer opportunities to learn and grow within the hospitality profession. As we have expanded over time, the expectations that set apart our restaurants have not changed: ensuring that every guest feels special, and every guest experience is exceptional. A guest can walk into The French Laundry or one of the Bouchon Bakeries and have the most enjoyable, unique and memorable experience. A chef will find the same blue aprons and green tape in each of our kitchens—symbols of a common striving for excellence. Outside the kitchens, every action we take must reflect the generosity, nurturing and finesse within. As members of the TKRG family, we have the responsibility to ensure this consistency. Beyond it all is a mission, perhaps summed up best by Chef Keller himself. “To make people happy, one guest at a time,” he says. “That is what cooking is all about.”

Since 2011, CHG has evolved from a standalone New York City flagship into one of the most renowned restaurant groups, best known for pioneering creative and dynamic hospitality experiences in major markets. The group’s success is driven by a team-first mentality and a relentless pursuit of its three core principles: great food, great service, and great vibe. Building on the success of The Corner Store and the recent launch of The Eighty Six, CHG is set to introduce two additional standalone concepts in the coming months, further expanding its footprint in iconic locations across New York City. Meanwhile, the Catch brand continues its thoughtful growth, following Miami Beach (2024) and Dallas (2024) with its most recent addition at Scottsdale’s Fashion Square (2025). Catch first debuted in New York City’s Meatpacking District in 2011, followed by locations in Los Angeles (2016) and Las Vegas at the ARIA Resort & Casino (2018), along with the expansion of its sister concept, Catch Steak Aspen (2021).
