Felix Bendersky - Founder & Principal, F+B Hospitality Leasing

Ben Hoffman & Felipe Azenha

Felix joined us on the pod—and yes, he brought along his signature Bendersky Scotch blend—to talk all things Miami F&B. Born and raised in the hospitality scene, Felix's journey started in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, where his Ukrainian immigrant parents owned and operated a nightclub. After making waves as a nightclub promoter at Northeastern University in Boston, Felix founded NightOwl Deliveries, eventually acquired by Grubhub.

An entrepreneur through and through, Felix's next venture, Green Star Biodiesel, provided him with unique insights into Miami’s restaurant scene, tracking which establishments were thriving by analyzing their used cooking oil. Recognizing a golden opportunity, Felix pivoted fully into brokerage, dedicating his career to food and beverage deals.

Today, Felix’s firm, F+B Hospitality Leasing, stands out as an indispensable resource, offering unmatched insights into South Florida’s ever-evolving F&B landscape.
