Recent data from the National Restaurant Association shows that New York is one of the top U.S. states with the most number of restaurants per capita with 3.01 restaurants for every 1,000 residents. Thus, someone who wants to build a restaurant career in the city will not find it hard to get employed. Leon Drogy, a New York resident and longtime career restaurant executive, has taken advantage of this.

But it is not only the abovementioned fact which has made Leon Drogy embark on a career in the restaurant industry: he has a real passion for it. It is the reason why he is still at it for a little less than two decades now. He has tried his hand in various aspects of restaurant work starting in 1990 as a Sales Manager , then as Banquet Manager, Director of Banquet Operations and Director of Operations. As of the moment, he is the Vice President for Catering at Colonial Terrace.

Leon Drogy is perfectly suited for the frenzied, even stressful, environment of the restaurant setting for he gets a certain high from such. He likes pushing himself and his staff to their limits so as to achieve company goals because he does not shy away easily from challenges. Above all, the knowledge that what he does for a living makes customers happy is a great motivation for him.
