Media Coverage for Leslie Brenner Concepts Marketing/PR Clients

Give us a call or send an email if you’d like to hear more about each of these concepts, and how we are getting the word out (or got the word out) about them.

Feels Like Home: Mamani; Namo; Bar Colette; The Bread Club

LBC has been masterminding public relations and marketing for Brandon and Henry Cohanim’s Feels Like Home hospitality group since March 2024.

Eight weeks after its flagship restaurant, Mamani, opened in September 2025, it had a Michelin star.

Feels Like Home’s newest project, The Bread Club, debuted March 9, 2026.

Gemma

Owners Allison Yoder and Stephen Rogers engaged LBC in June 2023, as they prepared to give their successful Dallas restaurant an interior and concept refresh in advance of its10th anniversary. Since LBC assisted with the project and reintroduced the reimagined Gemma to the public, the accolades have been epic: a nomination for a James Beard Award for Outstanding Hospitality in 2024, and a Bib Gourmand in the Michelin Guide Texas two years running (2024 and 2025). The James Beard Foundation is also celebrating Stephen Rogers as one of its Taste America 2025-2026 Taste Twenty Chefs. Those honors, top-quality press coverage, a deep connection with its passionate fans and a ceaseless dedication to excellence have all kept the little Henderson Ave. spot one of Dallas’ most valued reservations.

Sachet

Nearly nine years after its 2017 debut, Allison Yoder and Stephen Rogers’ sparkling pan-Mediterranean dining room feels hotter than ever. LBC began working with Yoder and Rogers in 2023, assisting with a refocusing of concept in the summer of 2024, and helping them keep the menu fresh and dynamic — and the restaurant top-of-mind for the media. Michelin took notice: Sachet was featured in the Texas Michelin Guide in 2024 and again in 2025. The James Beard Foundation has also honored Stephen Rogers as one of its Taste America 2025-2026 Taste Twenty Chefs.

Black Marble Hospitality: Las Palmas; Urbano Cafe; Sylvestro; Bowen House; St. Martin’s Wine Bistro; Mike’s Gemini Twin Lounge

Pasha and Sina Heidari, Black Marble’s principals, engaged LBC in August 2025 for consulting, PR and marketing for all its restaurants and bars. MORE COMING SOON.

Billy Can Can

The world’s most exquisite fancy dining saloon holds a special place in Leslie’s heart, as she helped develop, open and market the restaurant in 2018 as part of her then-role at Rebees (the company that owns Billy Can Can). Leslie Brenner Concepts was engaged in 2023 to handle media relations and provide consulting services for the restaurant — Dallas’ premier showplace for modern Texas cuisine.

FORMER CLIENTS

Via Triozzi and Terrazza di Triozzi

Leigh Hutchinson’s warm and welcoming Italian restaurant debuted in Dallas in August 2023. LBC was engaged as a consultant on the project from its inception through February 2026. Eater Dallas named Via Triozzi Best New Restaurant of 2023, and Texas Monthly included it among its 10 Best New Restaurants Texas 2024.

In April 2025, Leigh opened her beautiful rooftop terrace, Terrazza di Triozzi, to great fanfare. Once again, LBC was engaged as a consultant on that project throughout its development — collaborating with (and in some cases engaging) the architect, general contractor, branding firm, executive chef and other partners.

Domodomo Kō

A month after its debut in Dallas, the flagship restaurant for the New York-based Domodomo brought on LBC to provide PR, marketing and consulting services.

Botolino

Carlo Gattini founded his outstanding artisan gelateria on Lower Greenville Ave. in Dallas in 2017, built a devoted following and opened two more stores over the next few years. In advance of opening his fourth Botolino, in April 2025, Gattini engaged LBC to help raise the profile not just of Botolino, but of artisan gelato and what makes it such a special product — to a national market. It’s an exciting and ambitious charge.

Partenope Ristorante

With plans to open a second location, the owners of Dallas’ premier destination for la Verace Pizza Napoletana brought on LBC to handle marketing and PR for both locations.

Meridian

The highly acclaimed Modern Brazilian cuisine from executive chef Junior Borges debuted in Dallas in May 2021.

Hinodeya Ramen Bar

Hinodeya, a popular San Francisco ramen bar specializing in dashi ramen, engaged LBC to handle the PR and marketing for the launch of its Dallas location in 2019.
