Some people simply have more energy than others. For restaurateur Jeremy King, juggling hot spots Arlington and the Park and their associated staff while also enjoying the spoils of a tightly knit family (including three grown children and a cockapoo named Teddy) is no big deal. In fact, perhaps it’s not quite challenging enough. Why not open a third spot? And, yes, write a book.
And so, on Tuesday night, there we were—a few hundred of King’s close friends, swarming a construction site that will soon be the new Simpson’s in the Strand. The occasion was the release of Without Reservation: Lessons from a Life in Restaurants, King’s memoir and general guide to good living.
