It was an instant success, and the restaurateur went on to expand his dining empire with additional concepts in California and Nevada. Carlsbad's Toast Gastrobrunch, a casual breakfast and lunch spot, now has sister locations in Las Vegas, bringing Ladeki's portfolio to 16 restaurants strong and still growing, with a new concept in the works in Oceanside. The renowned businessman and philanthropist clearly shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. As Ladeki has been famously known to say, "Food is like fashion. You shouldn't sit still, or you might find yourself out of style." sammyspizza.com M.P.
