Adam Weisblatt is the co-founder of Los Angeles–based Last Word Hospitality, the restaurant group behind acclaimed concepts including Found Oyster, Barra Santos, Queen's Raw Bar + Grill, Same Same Thai, and Red Dog Saloon. Since launching Last Word Hospitality in 2014, he has helped build people-driven, neighborhood-focused restaurants while leading the company's new-business development, concept creation, and long-term strategy.
He is also the author of For the Love of Restaurants: An Insider's Guide from Daydreams to Opening Night, a practical and candid look at what it takes to turn a restaurant idea into a lasting business. Drawing on his experience opening seven restaurants, Weisblatt brings an operator's perspective to the challenges, risks, and community-building power of independent hospitality.
