John G. Laytham
Partner (1963-2019)
What was intended to be a part-time job for this ambitious, young visionary turned into a job that would become a life-long career. John Laytham was the inspiration behind Clyde's of Georgetown's famous Sunday brunch and the driving force behind Clyde's F&B operation, exceptional customer service, and creative genius. Despite the vulnerability of the restaurant industry, Laytham's impressive pedigree is built around the success of CRG's properties throughout the last half-century.
Stuart Carlton Davidson
Founder (1963-2001)
Stuart Carlton Davidson led an extraordinary life that prepared him well to launch and preside over what has become one of the nation's most successful and popular restaurant companies. On August 12, 1963, Davidson opened Clyde's of Georgetown because, as he said, Washington "lacked a good saloon." Davidson opened the first Clyde's as "An American Bar" (not a pub or bistro). Davidson summed up his philosophy succinctly by saying "It's more fun to eat in a bar than drink in a restaurant." Before embarking on a career as a restaurateur, he was an investment banker with Kidder Peabody and Wertheim & Co. A man of distinguished education, he was a cultivated patron of literature and arts who spoke several languages, and was a walking treasury of quotations, poems, and songs perfectly memorized and delivered with gusto. Educated at St. Albans School, Harvard College, and Harvard Business School, Davidson was a polished scholar and enthusiastic outdoorsman.
The CRG Team Member Emergency Assistance Fund is a nonprofit employee assistance fund with trusted steward, Greater Washington Community Foundation. This was initially created to provide financial aid to CRG Employees whose income was being adversely affected by the coronavirus outbreak. We seeded the fund with a percentage of sales from our carryout business and added to the fund with proceeds from three auctions featuring artwork from recently closed restaurants and our storage warehouse. It is now available for employees facing unexpected hardships.
Our family of employees is what makes our restaurants so special. If you want to join us in supporting them, you can do so by donating to CRG's Team Member Emergency Assistance Fund.
