Tony Shure

Business partners Tony Shure and Colin McCabe of Chop’t Creative Salad Company have known each other since high school, come by entrepreneurship naturally. Shure’s father is in New York real estate, and his mother makes films. His uncle is Robert Evans, the bigger-than-life film producer best known for “The Godfather” and “Chinatown.” His other uncle — and first investor — was the late Charles Evans, founder of the Evan-Picone clothing label, producer of the film “Tootsie,” and a real estate developer. McCabe’s father, Ed McCabe, is one of the original Mad Men, a legend on Madison Avenue. He and the firm he co-founded created several iconic ad campaigns from the 1960s and ’70s. McCabe, boyish and cheery, handles much of the real estate end of the business, trolling for real estate locations and negotiating deals. Shure, who gets giddy talking about his latest salad concoctions, concentrates on the food end.
