EMM Group’s Hung Huynh on Board with Catch Miami

 

Hung Huynh first joined the hospitality honcho’s at EMM Group after his big win on season three of Top Chef. Mark Birnbaum, Eugene Remm and Michael Hirtenstein of EMM Group knew they had to do something big for Catch in order to match the success of their other restaurants in the Meatpacking District. Acquiring the expertise of Top Chef winner Hung Huynh was the perfect strategy for making Catch NYC the sensational hit that it is.

Catch, located at 21 9th Avenue in New York City, is a three-floor, 14,000 square-foot seafood restaurant that can seat 260 people.  Hung Huynh contributed dishes like jumbo Cantonese-style lobster, Crispy Whole Red Snapper for two with Oyster Mushrooms, Dungeness Crab Tagliatelli with Flying Fish Roe & Scallion Tomato Sauce, and one of the dishes that helped dub him Top Chef, hamachi tartare with avocado, tomato vinegar, and fingerling potato chips. In EMM Group tradition, it was important that Huynh made everything large-scale and with over-the-top, indulgent flavors. “This is the first restaurant of my dreams,” Huynh said when announcing his collaboration with EMM Group for Catch.

Later this year, Mark Birnbaum, Eugene Remm and Michael Hirtenstein will once again use the culinary expertise of Hung Huynh to launch the much anticipated outpost of Catch in South Beach Miami within the James Royal Palm Hotel. Catch began when Remm and Birnbaum realized that there were no seafood restaurants in the Meatpacking District. Once a suitable location opened up, they grabbed it and soon after, acquired Huynh. The same can be said for Catch in Miami. While throwing a big party in Miami, the hospitality kings “noticed a lack of seafood-specific restaurant options in Miami, and a desire expressed by its residents for more social, shareable, city-style dining” said Mark Birnbaum. With Hung Huynh on board, there are endless possibilities for Catch. Miami is just one of many exciting milestones for Catch Restaurant.

Mark Birnbaum takes CATCH concept to South Beach, Miami at the James Royal Palm

In early 2013, just about one year after opening CATCH Restaurant in Manhattan's Meatpacking District, Mark Birnbaum, partner of EMM Group recently helped open its first outpost of the popular eatery within The James Royal Palm on Collins Avenue in South Beach, Miami.

The globally influenced seafood restaurant, with Top Chef winner, Executive Chef Hung Huynh at the helm, has enjoyed rave reviews and full reservation books since opening its doors in early 2013, proving CATCH’s high energy, city-style of dining has found itself a natural fit among South Beach fans.

The nearly 4,000 square foot restaurant, fashioned between two floors and 190 seats, leaves much of the venue's landmarked, art-deco style interior intact. Upon arrival guests walk thru the 40 seat outdoor patio and into a 1,770 square foot First Floor Dining Room where the Main Bar sits in striking semblance to the hotel's original structure. Across the room a Sushi Lounge, with the capacity to accommodate up to 50 guests for seated dinner, adds an interactive element for a la carte diners or semi-private seatings.

Sprawling, 17 foot, cork-lined ceilings and a bustling South Beach dinner scene greet guests ascending to the Second Floor Dining Room. There, oversized copper drum lamps set an intimate stage, warmly washing patrons in CATCH's trademark honey-colored tones. Hand-painted details on the exposed brick walls create an ambiance like non-other, while Mark Birnbaum assures guests are able to enjoy all the essentials from the CATCH NY menu as well as newer, locally inspired dishes such as Po Little Rich Boys, The Shorecrest Roll, Kampachi Crudo and a conspicuously decadent Key Lime Donut dessert!
