Is Chris Breed ditching Hollywood?

What’s going on with Chris Breed? Usually, it’s his business partners who work behind the scenes while he serves as the (seriously handsome) face of his venues. Lately, however, he’s been taking a back seat. He was supposed to be the big name behind Ritual, formerly White Lotus, but he sold out of the club just before it opened. Then, on Tuesday, his new spot The Green Door opened next door to Cabana Club, which he also owns, without the slightest bit of fanfare. Yes, Linkin Park was playing at Ritual and Les Deux was having its one-year anniversary party, but still. I’d have thought this opening would have been a bigger deal, especially with Johnny Zander (formerly of Teddy’s) as his right-hand man. I spoke to Chris yesterday—he sounded exhausted—and said he’s expanding his business in Las Vegas and Miami and, while he didn’t say it outright, he seems pretty over the Hollywood scene.

 
He's usually so chatty, but this is all I could get out of him about The Green Door.

•There’s a green door.

•The walls are green.

•There’s a lounge vibe.

•There’s a tapas and crepe menu.

•It’s also outfitted with turn-of-the-century French furniture.

•It has a lounge vibe.

Yep, that’s  it. That's not much of an incentive to go, is it?
