Harris, Meyer's grandfather, was a well-known Chicago businessman and philanthropist. Meyer attended Camp Nebagamon for Boys in Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin, as a youth. Meyer began working for his father as a tour guide in Rome and then returned to study international politics. While attending Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, Meyer was a Brother of Alpha Delta Phi fraternity. Meyer earned a degree in political science and worked in Chicago as the Cook County field director for John Anderson's 1980 independent presidential campaign. Meyer began working at Pesca, an Italian seafood restaurant in New York City's Flatiron District in 1984. He then returned to Europe to study cooking as a culinary stagiaire in Italy and Bordeaux, France.
Career
Meyer's first restaurant, Union Square Cafe, opened in 1985 at the age of 27, in 1985. Gramercy Tavern, Blue Smoke and Jazz Standard, Shake Shack, The Modern, Cafe 2 and Terrace 5 at MoMA, Maialino, Untitled, assorted at the North End Grill, Marta, Porchlight, Union Square Events, and Hospitality Quotient are among Meyer's other restaurants and businesses. Several concessions at major sports venues, including Citi Field, Saratoga Race Course, and Nationals Park, have been made by Union Square Events, the USHG's catering division.
Meyer's first restaurant closure, Tabla, was in 2010. Meyer attributed the restaurant's demise to the specificity of the Indian cuisine. Meyer appeared in "The Restaurateur" a documentary the same year.
In late 2011, Union Square Hospitality leased Eleven Madison Park to its chef Daniel Humm and Will Guidara, as well as front-of-house director Will Guidara. In 2018, North End Grill was closed.
Meyer also confirmed that tipping will be phased out at all of his restaurants in 2015. The move raised prices by around 21% and resulted in significant percentages of his employees leaving the company.
Meyer shuttered all his restaurants, chastised other establishments for opening, and said he did not expect to provide full service until a vaccine was available. Meyer said on a May 1 Vanity Fair podcast that Paycheck Protection Program loans, which are supposed to support small businesses, "may be the most irresponsible thing for a restaurant to do." It was discovered in July that twelve separate Meyer restaurants had been granted loans. Union Square Hospitality Group, Meyer's company, received between $11.4 million and $27 million in PPP loans. Following media interest, Shake Shack has agreed to restore its PPP assistance."
