SHA Alum: New Twists on Classic Dishes
Brian Arnoff had always dreamed of owning his own restaurant, but when he graduated from BU’s School of Hospitality Administration during the Great Recession, restaurants were closing and jobs were scarce.
So Arnoff (SHA’09) came up with a bold plan. Instead of taking a job at his family’s moving and storage business, he renovated a van, moved to Washington, D.C., and started a food truck serving macaroni cheese in flavors like beef bolognese and chicken parmesan. He called the truck CapMac.
“I just felt like I had to break away,” Arnoff says. “I had to do something different.”
A pasta lover with a flair for entrepreneurship, he has been experimenting with food and restaurant ideas ever since.
