Jeffrey Chodorow

Jeffrey Chodorow

Jeffrey Chodorow (born 2 March 1950 in New York City, New York) is an American restaurateur and financier.

In 1991, Chodorow attempted to resurrect the defunct Braniff International Airways as "Braniff II". The airline only lasted a year, and he spent jail time for his illegal activities while head of the company. He was convicted in 1994 of defrauding the U.S. Department of Transportation and obstructing a pending proceeding of the DOT. In return for his guilty plea to these charges, the government dropped charges that Chodorow committed bankruptcy fraud and fraudulently concealed assets from creditors.

Chodorow was the financier for the restaurant in the reality TV show "The Restaurant", and owns China Grill Management, a collection of high-end restaurants. He owns properties in New Hope, Pennsylvania, Miami, Florida, New York City, and the Hamptons.

In a full page ad taken out in the February 21, 2007 dining section of the "New York Times", Chodorow declared figurative war on critic Frank Bruni for giving him a poor review. Chodorow advised that this was a personal attack and that he would follow up Bruni's reviews with visits to the restaurant himself, with his own review to follow on his blog.
