Peter Herrero Jr. is CEO of the NY Hospitality Group, which operates Sam’s of Gedway, Caperberry Events Catering, The Great American BBQ catering company, nd the century-old CV Rich Mansion.
Westchester Magazine featured a profile of Peter and his business and hospitality philosophy.
With 36 years of hands-on experience, Herrero built his expertise by working his way up from dishwasher to manager across a variety of restaurants and catering halls. In 1986, he purchased Sam’s Saloon and transformed it into Sam’s of Gedney Way. What began as a 16-person operation soon expanded, with the launch of Great American BBQ Co. in 1995 and Caperberry Events in 1996, marking the start of a growing family of successful ventures.
He noted that the best thing about leading a staff that now comprises 42 full-time employees (plus 38 part-timers) is “seeing people grow and fulfill their dreams. For instance, the young man from India who had no restaurant experience that Herrero hired as a busboy, who, within nine months, was promoted to waiter. He’s now married with three kids and owns a co-op in White Plains.
