ABC Washington Business Report - Alicart Restaurant Group (Carmine's) CEO Jeff Bank

7/13/14
Passion, not a plan, was what brought Carmine's boss success
Jeffrey Bank did not have the most direct path in becoming the CEO of Alicart Restaurant Group. He was motivated to get into the food industry after a conversation with a neighbor, whom he admired. The conversation led to him getting his first restaurant gig, one he admits he was not prepared for.
"I had no idea what I was doing. I look back on those days and I don't know how I didn't put us under," he tells Rebecca Cooper in a one-on-one interview.
Now operating restaurants all over the country, Bank talks about what makes Carmine's a hit, and shares his strategies of dish consistency and family-size meals, which have translated to Carmine's being one of the most sought-out dinner destinations in the Washington area.
