One of the most influential American restaurants of the last decade, Major Food Group’s CARBONE serves Michelin-starred Italian cuisine in an energetic, highly glamorous setting. The New York Times probably put it best: “It is a fancy red-sauce joint as directed by Quentin Tarantino, with a technical prowess that can make you giddy and an instinct for sheer entertainment that makes a lot of other restaurants seem like earnest, unimaginative drones.”In addition to Dallas, Carbone currently has locations in New York City, Miami Beach, Las Vegas, and Hong Kong. Major Food Group Co-Founders Jeff Zalaznick, Mario Carbone, and Rich Torrisi are also behind Sadelle’s, The Grill, ZZ’s Club, Parm, and Dirty French, to name just a few of the company’s other hit concepts.
