To promote Suffolk restaurants Vintage Tavern and River Stone Chophouse, Meridian Group recommended introducing M&M Hospitality Group partner and executive chef Sam McGann to a wider national audience. Positioning Chef McGann as a national expert would raise the profile of both Sam and his restaurants, and also help to put Suffolk on the map as a fine dining destination.

Meridian arranged media meetings in NYC with editors from Food & Wine and AOL Living for Chef McGann, and the relationships have continued to pay off. Chef McGann was recently included in a roundup of tips for the at-home cook from popular chefs. Other pros included national chef superstars Martha Stewart, Nigella Lawson, and Bobby Flay.
