Legal Sea Foods has become almost as synonymous with "New England" as the lobsters they serve â so the Massachusetts restaurant chain made headlines this week when it announced its sale to Medford-based PPX Hospitality Group, which also owns Smith & Wollensky and three Strega locations. Legal Sea Foods CEO Roger Berkowitz joined Joe Mathieu on GBH's
Morning Edition to discuss the sale, and how the pandemic has impacted the restaurant industry.
"You know, life throws curveballs at you. It's really unpredictable," Berkowitz said of the sale, which comes just a year after the restaraunt chain had expanded its high-end seafood offerings. "What I've learned over the years [is] you always have to have I guess a plan B in place, or options in terms of what you do. If you're too myopic, you leave yourself open to things you can't recover from."
