"I couldn't think of a better, more respected group with a strong and successful business track record of over 30 years to take this on like Nick, Mike and Tal. We welcome you all to this exciting culinary journey we're about to take," Stratis Morfogen, owner of Brooklyn Dumpling Shop, said in the press release.
