It has been a year of dramatic conscious uncouplings for Daniel Humm, the world-renowned chef behind Eleven Madison Park. In July, the Swiss-born restaurateur announced that his longtime business partner Will Guidara would be leaving EMP and now he has alerted staffers at the NoMad, which he and Guidara opened in 2012, that he\u2019ll no longer be working with the NoMad Hotel.<\/p>\n

Eater reports that the Sydell Group, the company that runs the hotel chain, will take over the restaurant operations from Humm\u2019s Make It Nice hospitality group. Beverage director Leo Robitschek and wine director Thomas Pastuszak have both agreed to remain with the restaurant while the Sydell Group looks for a new executive chef. The deal should be finalized by the end of the week.<\/p>\n

In a statement to staffers, Humm called the move \u201ca very difficult decision\u201d but also gave us the perfect form message for our next breakup: \u201cPartnerships can end, and restaurants can change \u2014 that doesn\u2019t mean they can\u2019t continue to grow. Through it all, I am incredibly proud of what we all have built. I know we\u2019ll celebrate the memories we\u2019ve made together, and we\u2019re excited to see what the next chapter holds for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

On his Instagram, meanwhile, Humm was a slightly more transparent, hinting that the breakup wasn\u2019t planned. \u201cIt was not for a lack of trying \u2014 this was not the outcome I wanted or hoped for,\u201d Humm writes. \u201cBut, at the end of the day, we just could not see eye to eye.\u201d<\/p>\n
