Now, 25 years later, we have 12 unique concepts with over 60 locations across the U.S., including fan favorites like Culinary Dropout, The Henry, Blanco Cocina Cantina, and more. The Fox Restaurant team is a community of creative thinkers who help bring Sam’s concepts to life. We believe the best stories are shared over food, we challenge ourselves to find ways to make our best ideas even better daily, and we keep our people and guests at the heart of all we do. We see every brand as a way for us to connect with and serve those who matter most—our people and our guests.
