Restaurateur Eugene Remm started his career at Level V, the bottle-service spot that was an early outpost in the reimagining of New York’s Meatpacking District 20 years ago. He went on to open his own spot nearby. TenJune—a nod to his birthday—was a celebrity magnet in the 2000s, a staple in gossip columns that defied all downturns in the middle of the Great Recession. Remm pivoted to focus on restaurants in 2011, when he opened the first site for fish-focused Catch. He’s since grown what is now Catch Hospitality Group across the US, via twin brands Catch and Catch Steak, in cities from Las Vegas to Aspen, Colorado.
