Tilman Fertitta, the billionaire CEO of Landry's is teaming up with Richard Handler, the CEO of investment bank Jefferies Group (and its parent company Leucadia National) to launch a special purpose acquisition company.

Reuters, citing "people familiar with the matter," reported that the new company will be named Landcadia and plans to raise as much as $300 million through an initial public offering. The publication added that the 2 CEO's "bromance" dates back several years as Jefferies helped finance Landry's debt in 2007.

Feritta's business focuses on the dining, hospitality, entertaining and gaming industry. The special purpose acquisition company will have a similar focus.
