ARLINGTON, Texas, July 20,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Loews Hotels & Co, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Loews Corporation (NYSE: L), today topped off

Ross, Managing Partner and Majority Owner of the Texas
Rangers Ray Davis, Benjamin
Berg, Founder & CEO of Berg Hospitality, along with
members of the Arlington City Council and other community and
business leaders, to recognize and celebrate this milestone.
"Loews Arlington is on schedule to open in early 2024 and our
confidence and commitment to the city of Arlington continues," said Jonathan Tisch, Chairman & CEO, Loews Hotels
& Co. "Arlington, TX is
already one of the premier sports and entertainment destinations in
the United States, and we
anticipate once Loews Arlington opens, the city will also become a
leading destination for meetings and events."
As part of this milestone event, the hotel company has also
named the hotel's signature restaurant anchor, Soy Cowboy, a
pan-Asian concept, from Houston-based restaurateur, Benjamin Berg
of Berg Hospitality.
Berg Hospitality Group conceives, launches and operates
restaurants in Texas with a
commitment to giving back to the local communities. The budding
culinary group is responsible for creating B&B Butchers &
Restaurant in Houston and
Fort Worth, B.B. Italia Bistro
& Bar, B.B. Lemon, The Annie Café & Bar, Turner's, NoPo
Café, Market & Bar, and Trattoria Sofia, along with more
concepts to come. With a true passion for the hospitality industry,
all of Berg's restaurants focus on offering excellent service,
unique atmospheres and unparalleled experiences for their guests
while always fostering an inclusive environment for all guests,
staff, and vendors.
"Berg Hospitality has worked across Texas to create unique upscale dining
offerings for nearly a decade, making them the ideal partner to
develop, own and manage our new signature restaurant inside the
Loews Arlington Hotel," said Alex
Tisch, President, Loews Hotels & Co. "Soy Cowboy will be
Berg's first pan-Asian concept and will re-define the culinary
scene in Arlington's already
bustling entertainment district.
Soy Cowboy will be an upscale and sophisticated pan-Asian
concept, transporting guests on an adventurous tour through the
flavors of China, Korea,
Vietnam, Thailand, Japan and more. The menu will include a
selection of sharable plates exploring classic Asian cooking
techniques including traditional sushi, tempura, wok, robatayaki,
hibachi and teppanyaki, as well as Korean barbeque. Guests can also
expect an innovative cocktail menu paired with an extensive wine
and sake list.
"We are thrilled to partner with Loews Hotels & Co as we
bring new life and exciting Asian flavors to Arlington with our original concept and
restaurant anchor, Soy Cowboy," said Benjamin Berg, who currently owns and operates
eight restaurant concepts in Houston and Fort
Worth and has plans to open 10 more concepts between now and
2024. "The world-renowned hospitality knowledge and impeccable
standards of Loews Hotels & Co coupled with my team's vision
and restaurant expertise will create and solidify a new lively
dining and social scene for those visiting the area."
Soy Cowboy, like all Berg Hospitality restaurants, will focus on
offering excellent food and service, a unique atmosphere and an
unparalleled experience for guests. For more information and

The addition of the Loews Arlington Hotel and Convention Center,
a full-service resort, will amplify Arlington's robust convention and tourism
opportunities, and Soy Cowboy will add to the culinary scene of the
greater Arlington area.

and create jobs for our community," said Arlington Mayor Jim
