China Grill Restaurant

Jeffrey Chodorow (born March 2 , 1950 in New York City, New York) is an American restaurateur and financier. Chodorow's father died when he was young and he was raised by his mother, a manicurist. He attended Wharton and has a law degree from University of Pennsylvania.

Real Estate Developer

In the 1970s, Chodorow made his first fortune in real estate, developing shopping centers in Philadelphia, PA. His knowledge of great food started, he says, when his mother would bring him along when she went out on dates, so next starting the successful BoJangle's restaurant in the south end of Charlotte, NC in 1987 was a natural progression for him.

Braniff International Airways

In 1991, Chodorow attempted to resurrect the defunct Braniff International Airways as "Braniff II." The airline lasted for only one more year, and he spent time in jail for his illegal activities while head of the company. He was convicted in 1994 of defrauding the U.S. Department of Transportation and obstructing a pending proceeding of the DOT. In return for his guilty plea to these charges, the government dropped charges that Chodorow committed bankruptcy fraud and fraudulently concealed assets from creditors.

Restaurateur

Chodorow was opened the popular Asia de Cuba restaurant at the Schrager Morgans Hotel, and subsequently was the financier for the restaurant in the reality TV show The Restaurant , and owns China Grill Management, a collection of high-end restaurants a number of which are also in Schrager hotels. He owns properties in New Hope, Pennsylvania, Miami, Florida, New York City, and the Hamptons.

In a full page ad taken out in the February 21, 2007 dining section of the New York Times , Chodorow declared figurative war on critic Frank Bruni for giving him a poor review. Chodorow advised that this was a personal attack and that he would follow up Bruni's reviews with visits to the restaurant himself, with his own review to follow on his blog, though he has done little of this.
