The ONE Group Moves STK Los Angeles to New Location in Westwood
'STK Los Angeles has long been a staple of the vibrant and chic culinary scene in the City of Angels, attracting celebrities, influencers and visitors for nearly two decades,' said Emanuel Hilario, president and CEO of The ONE Group. 'While we have loved calling the W Hotel home for the past 10 years, the new venue for STK Los Angeles enables us to accommodate even more guests eager to enjoy our rich Vibe Dining experience and exhibits our commitment to expanding in the area.'
As with all STK Steakhouse restaurants, the new location in Los Angeles' Westwood Village features a high-energy design, including the signature white horn wall, STK 'RED' bull sculptures, STK flower letters perfect for social media content, vibrant neon signs and opulent white florals throughout the restaurant.
STK is a modern twist on the American steakhouse concept with restaurants in major metropolitan cities in the U.S., Europe and the Middle East, featuring premium steaks, seafood and specialty cocktails in an energetic upscale atmosphere.
While STK Los Angeles will no longer call The W Hotel home, The ONE Group will maintain its food & beverage partnership with the venue. The previous home of STK Los Angeles has reopened as Samurai Steakhouse – a restaurant concept featuring Japanese cuisine and a unique take on the traditional steakhouse, offered al fresco on the patio and the main dining room, to reopen in June. The ONE Group will also continue to operate The Hideout restaurant and bar at the outdoor patio and pool area of the W Hotel, providing an outdoor dining environment.

Nike Sues Edison Chen For $126 Million USD
CLOTfounderEdison Chenis being sued by former partnerNikefor breach of contract, demanding a sum of more than $126 million USD. Multiple sources, including@SneakerLegalhave shared the information, including the case number (2:25-cv-07447), cause (28:1332 Diversity-Breach of Contract), and the demand of $126,615,000. Other than these details, still little is known about the specific violations and events that led to the escalation. The lawsuit has emerged more than a year after Chen terminated his collaborations with the American sneaker label and began releasing products with adidas, like the CLOT Silk Gazelle and the CLOTAnthony EdwardsAE-1. For years, the CLOT designer worked closely with Nike on various models before partnering with the Three Stripes brand in 2023. In 2004, Chen founded CLOT in Hong Kong and began partnering with Nike in 2006. The brand still maintains special popularity in the Asia Pacific region for its exploration of Eastern heritage and aesthetics, but has become increasingly global thanks to partnerships with sportswear titans. As the brand charges forth with a new CEO at the helm, it seems that it's become more vigilant of its brand universe than ever, targeting direct collaborators like Chen and even designers outside of their direct sphere, likethe Shoe Surgeon. Nike's move to sue Chen comes right after the brand finally settled with the famous custom-sneaker designer, a de-escalation from the $60 million originally demanded. Stay tuned to Hypebeast as more details emerge on the case.

Why The US' Biggest BBQ Chain Is Struggling
Our ranking of barbecue chains from worst to best shows how far a mighty restaurant can fall. Business was once booming at Texas-based Dickey's Barbecue Pit, as the restaurant held the distinct honor of being the largest American barbecue chain in the world with 550 locations. If you're the type to ask, "What have you done for me lately (Dickey's)?" we regret to inform you that the dining establishment earned second to last place in our ranking due to its poor reviews. The chain has also experienced major setbacks in its location count. Dickey's appears to be dwindling rather fast. As of the beginning of 2025, the chain was down to just 318 locations because of closures and restaurant sales. Additionally, many of these sales and closures occurred between 2024 and 2025, which doesn't portend good things for the barbecue brand. Dickey's virtual kitchens (delivery-exclusive establishments operating out of external kitchens) were particularly hard hit, as most of them have ceased operating. Dickey's hopes that the closures strengthen the overall brand and free up resources for the remaining locations that are thriving. However, it's not yet clear that the chain has the ability to withstand the rocky roads ahead. Read more: 25 Popular Ruth's Chris Steak House Menu Items, Ranked Worst To Best Dickey's Might Be To Blame For Its Own Undoing Many beloved chains seem to be on the chopping block in 2025, including Applebee's and Denny's. A tumultuous economy and rising prices have fewer people dining out, which can affect an establishment's revenue. However, a restaurant's practices can also play a role in its demise, and franchisees of Dickey's say the company puts up too many roadblocks to success. A swathe of franchise operators claim that recurring customer discounts and limits on how high food can be priced affect their bottom lines, as does elevated food and supply costs (franchisees source these items from a subsidiary of Dickey's, which the company itself operates). Decreasing sales and closed restaurants only account for a portion of Dickey's woes. The restaurant has also been subject to numerous lawsuits, including one in which franchisees and operators in Ohio and Idaho alleged fraudulent claims regarding cost estimates. Despite differences in location and real estate pricing, both groups received the same estimate. Additionally, they claim first year revenue was vastly overstated compared to that of existing franchises over the same period. Thanks to the myriad of issues experienced by this once-iconic chain, homemade brisket recipes look more tempting with each passing minute. Read the original article on Mashed.
