Today we’d like to introduce you to El Segundo’s Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar.

We’d love to learn the story behind Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar.
Founded in 1998 by restaurateurs Paul Fleming and Bill Allen, the first Fleming’s opened in Newport Beach, California. The vision was to create a unique steakhouse experience with an emphasis on generous hospitality, an inviting atmosphere and the very finest aged USDA Prime beef. Today, there are 67 restaurants nationwide and one international.

Operating Partner, Le Vo, described his journey in the restaurant industry:
I’ve always had an interest in business and knew I wanted to go into hospitality. At first, I didn’t plan to take the restaurant path, but after working in it, I fell in love. During college, I hosted and waited tables at various restaurants and that’s where I began to understand the flow of the business. Shortly after, I was approached by the Japanese restaurant I was working for and they asked me to join their management team. I worked in a number of their restaurants and opened a few before moving on. When I joined Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar as one of their Operating Partners, it confirmed that this is business that I want to be in.

Successfully running a restaurant is extremely difficult. Tell us about some of the challenges you’ve had to overcome.
Operating Partner, Le Vo, described his biggest challenges:
The biggest challenge that I faced in my career was joining the restaurant business at such a young age. I was often told that I was too young to have the responsibilities required to run a restaurant and that I lacked the experience. At first, I never wanted to ask for help and felt like I needed to figure everything out on my own. It wasn’t until I started asking questions that everything started to happen for me and I began to grow my career in this industry.
