The dapper Donnie Madia—one of the principals at One Off Hospitality (avec, Big Star, Blackbird, Publican, Publican Quality Meats, Violet Hour)—gets a bit of shine in GQ's 10 Essentials feature.

His favorite spots for "date night" with his wife, Estelle: Saigon Sisters, Riccardo Trattoria and the late Great Lake pizza.

When you'll spot him working at Blackbird: "Thursday and Saturday are my days at Blackbird, and I won't give them up—I've been doing them for the last 15 years. It keeps me on point with my loyal regulars."

His favorite cocktail: "I think the 3-to-1 gin martini is it for me. I like mine with Dolin dry vermouth and an old-school gin like Beefeater, finished with a little lemon peel."
