Here's a recap of a panel with on restaurant expansion with chefs Danny Bowien, Andy Ricker, and Michael White. How Bowien connects his Mission Chinese restaurants in San Francisco and New York: "We have the ghettoist system--Thomas Keller has TV screens in his kitchens where they can talk to each other, so we thought, we can do that.
