Luke's Lobsters over on Seventh Street near First Avenue opened last fall... and, judging by the crowds, people seem to love the place...
Anyway, I only know a little about the owner, 25-year-old Luke Holden ... he joined forces with the help of his father, Jeff, owner of the seafood supplier Portland Shellfish in Maine. (Luke grew up in Maine and spent his summers lobstering...) The press has mentioned Luke worked at a bank before starting his restaurant ...
Anyway, here's something for all you Luke's groupies... an interview with Luke, who did his undergrad work at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University where he double-majored in finance and small business management, from Vault's Career Blog...
VAULT: You’ve just left a career in investment banking to own and operate your restaurant full time. Which firm did you work for, and what was your position?
Lucas Holden: I was a third-year analyst at CS Capital Advisors (formerly Cohen and Steers Capital Advisors) before leaving to start Luke’s Lobster. The investment banking team specializes in M&A capital-raising and restructuring services principally dedicated to the real estate investment trust (“REIT”) space.
