Joey Crugnale is Livin' la Vida Loca with his Cuban-inspired seafood concept

Restaurateur Joey Crugnale has a knack for taking common foods like ice ream and pizza and making them cutting-edge menu items.

He combined ice cream and candy to create the national Steve's Ice Cream chain, inspiration for the gourmet ice cream movement. Then, Crugnale successfully paired wood-fired brick ovens and pizza to create Bertucci's, which also became a national chain and went public in 1991.

Now Crugnale is testing the waters with the Naked Fish Wood Fired Grill casual seafood concept, which casts seafood in a funky Caribbean/Cuban-theme. This time around, Crugnale is juxtaposing minimally seasoned, fresh seafood against the sensual aura of the Latino movement. Simply put: Crugnale is making seafood sexy.

"There's a passion with Latin music and foods that you don't get with anything else," he says. That passion has helped fuel strong growth for the privately held Woburn, Mass., Naked Restaurants Inc., which also operates the four-unit Jumbalaya Cajun/Mexican concept. Crugnale has opened six Naked Fish restaurants in the greater Boston area since the first location debuted a year ago in Westboro, Mass.
