Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, Inc.
 PROFILE
With titles such as R.J. Grunts, Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba, and Mity Nice Grill, it's clear that Richard Melman's restaurants serve up a helping of humor along with the food. His Lettuce Entertain You company operates more than 70 eateries in the Chicago area and elsewhere in the US. The company's restaurants do business under different names and different themes, from upscale French dining at Everest to cafeteria-style kiosks at foodlife. Most of the company's restaurants are one-of-a-kind, but Corner Bakery and Maggiano's Little Italy -- two concepts now owned by Brinker International -- have multiple locations. In 2001 the company founded the Lettuce Consulting Group. Melman maintains voting control of the company.
