Sam Gorenstein Exits The Raleigh; Schwartz Launch Expected in the Fall

Before he was even able to make his debut with Michael Schwartz at The Raleigh, chef Samuel Gorenstein has left the hotel to focus on his just opened venture, My Ceviche. Says Gorenstein, "The success and launch of My Ceviche in South Beach has demanded more of my time than anticipated. It was a difficult decision, but I will be leaving The Raleigh on Friday and wish the team here and The Genuine Hospitality Group the best of luck during this exciting time for the hotel." The parting is amicable and The Raleigh wishes him well, saying "We wish Sam all the best in his venture. We are thrilled to begin kitchen renovations shortly just in time to launch our new concepts with Michael Schwartz in the Fall."
