Four Seasons Hotel closure brings 43-year tradition of Joe Segal’s power lunches to an end/ CBC News

Joe Segal jokes he could hold a mortgage on the hotel with how much money he’s spent there

While sitting at his table at Yew Restaurant inside the Four Seasons Hotel, Joe Segal jokes he could hold a mortgage on the hotel with how much money he’s spent there.
