Description:

New York, November 21 2006 - Entrepreneurial mastermind Stratis Morfogen, CEO of Philippe Restaurant Group Inc., is one of the country's fastest evolving restaurateurs. Since opening the first Philippe Restaurant the chic contemporary Chinese restaurant located at 33 East 60th Street, last December 2005, Morfogen has built a diverse portfolio of highly successful ventures and continues to expand upon his success.

Philippe Restaurant Group redefines the Chinese dining experience by combining traditional ingredients with a contemporary vibe, presenting the celebrated cuisine of culinary master Philippe Chow, former Mr. Chow veteran of more than 27 years, in an accessible, chic style. The menu includes large dishes of creative Chinese cooking, ideal for sharing between two and four customers. A highlight is the nightly noodle-making show presented on the restaurant floor by Noodle Chef Wai Ming Cheng, also a native of China. Since its opening, Philippe has attracted an international clientele including many celebrities, social leaders, fashionistas and sports figures, and has seen a steady increase in business.

Plans call for opening three or four Philippe restaurants a year in select cities, often partnering with boldface named investors, who Morfogen says were customers who believed in the concept.

Partnering with record mogul Tommy Mottola and his wife, Latin music sensation Thalia, and Mexico's renowned restaurateur Pablo Moctezuma, Morfogen opened a Philippe in Mexico City at Paseo de Reforma in the Lomas neighborhood on November 22.
