After taking seafood head on in California with his wildly successful Slapfish food truck, Gruel opened seven green-certified restaurants in just three years. Gruel is set to take on New York with Slapfish being the largest, fastest growing fast casual seafood concept and multi-unit franchise.

Chef Gruel is working with Sea to Table to source the most seasonal wild seafood. Sea to Table partners with fishermen from small-scale sustainable wild fisheries, finding better markets for their catch.

Why is this so important? "Sustainability is about keeping the human race healthy without destroying the environment. The ocean, being so vast and resilient, is the perfect resource to sustain a growing worldwide population when managed properly. The ocean can feed millions of people and provide millions of jobs. People need to eat more seafood, and the right types of seafood... because sustainable tastes better," says Chef Gruel.

Reservations are being taken for the exclusive dining event with three seatings (6pm, 7:30pm, and 9pm) on Tuesday, October 13^th. Tickets are available ($70) on Sosh.com.
