A high profile Melbourne restaurant owner is taking a “multi-million dollar gamble” as Victoria emerges from its fifth lockdown, says Sky News host Peta Credlin.

“Chris Lucas’ new eatery ‘Society’ is making its mark on a high-end stretch of the CBD and keeping hundreds of hospitality workers employed,” Ms Credlin said.

In an exclusive interview, Founder and CEO of Lucas Group Chris Lucas told Ms Credlin lockdowns “took their toll” but it’s great news his “landmark restaurant” is going to open and “hopefully bring joy” to the dining public of Melbourne.“We’re carrying some scars, we’ve been battered and bruised, the industry is on its knees, the city is on its knees … but we’re resilient, this industry is nothing but resilient,” he told Ms Credlin.
