On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the recent report that McDonald's had surpassed Starbucks in global brand valuation. After an eight-year run at the top, Starbucks' valuation declined 36% last year to drop it to No. 2, and Sam and Alicia talk about the significance of this change and some other surprises in the top 10 most valuable restaurant companies. Then they discuss Dutch Bros' decision to enter the consumer packaged goods space by putting its ground coffee on retail shelves. This move follows other chains entering the retail category, and Sam and Alicia talk about how this could be influenced by consumers pulling back on restaurant spending due to inflation. Next up is the continued struggles of casual-dining chains, which was put in sharp relief by Bar Louie's decision to file for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Is this a bad sign for the full-service category? And in this week's extra serving, senior editor Joanna Fantozzi joins to talk about Panera's announcement that interim CEO Paul Carbone would lose the “interim” tag and lead the brand into the future — a future that seems to be driven less by quality and more by value and convenience.

Even in booming Short Pump, there are restaurants that struggle and even fail – such as Kona Grill (irreverently known as 'Cougar Grill' in its heyday, before closing in 2019) and Bar Louie, which closed in 2020. But high-end steak houses have now popped up in both those long-vacant sites, and – judging from their popularity – might just be here to stay.

Joel Reynders was named VP of culinary and executive chef at Bar Louie just last May, and he hit the ground running. The 67-unit chain has long been a popular happy hour destination, but guests would order a drink or two and some nibbles and leave to have dinner someplace else. To fill that gap, Reynders—whose casual-dining experience includes Red Lobster, Darden, Tijuana Flats and more—developed a new collection of approachable, flavor-forward dinner entrees and sides. He also worked on filling the lunch gap with $10 menu items that could get customers in and out quickly. And he expanded the bar menu with craveable bites like fried cheese curds, truffle fries and shareable flatbreads. All along, his R&D goal was to make sure the food complemented and didn't overpower Bar Louie's all-important cocktails. And while affordability was key, Reynders paid lots of attention to execution, too. Performance provides value to consumers as much as price, he feels. Listen as Reynders details how he's elevated the culinary experience at Bar Louie while preserving its DNA and where he's taking the menu next.
Monica is back and we're answering questions! How serious is the term best friend? And when is child labor acceptable? My high school drill team had some creative names I share, and Monica tells a story I had no clue about. There's a lot of wheezing. For the OG listeners Miami man made a return, I might need to share that story again. We hate victim mentality, but vent sessions are a must. Are kids master manipulators? Chicken Nugget maybe the name of a child, and we must get to the bottom of it. Bet ya'll never made a boat stop in the middle of the ocean, but we did. Vacations these days include body scrubs, and Monica tries to get me to experience the ring of fire. Why do we wear heels? And did we fall down the stairs at Bar Louie or Petes Piano Bar more? If we could go back in time we decided we'd invest in ourselves more. Plus we let you know Monica's trick for us to not look so much like sisters...

The human spirit is amazing. I love speaking to people who were one thing before the pandemic, and now are something completely different. Charlie was the Director of Operations for Bar Louie, then the pandemic forced him out of his job. While he was home with his wife and children, he realized there was more to life than climbing the latter, so he decided to take matters into his own hands. World, please welcome Single Tree BBQ. Listen in as Charlie talks about the origin of the name, why family is so important to him, and why we all have a little bit of Charlie in us.

"You learn very early there that customers like new things, and you've got to be representing yourself to the guests or your customers constantly. The importance of new flavors, the importance of new items, it's vital to people. I stopped going to some of my favorite restaurants in the world because the menu hadn't changed in two or three years. You're looking at the same menu over time, and it just gets stale.From our standpoint, not just from a culinary perspective, but from a drink standpoint and an environmental standpoint, we always like to be and are trying to find new ways to represent ourselves to the guests, as our guests change and the things around them change.We think it's critical and essential to what we do."– Tom Fricke, CEO, Bar Louie

After a startling revelation, Kristen discusses her miraculous recovery from the brink of death, her beginning the roomie search, and shot girl summer roster prep. Then the team is back to talk about all that is getting back into the bar scene as the country finally opens up. Are we actually ready for real human interaction again? Will the 'Rona have a negative or positive impact on how we will act out on a Saturday night now? How do you handle the approaching of a potential and not have it be awkward? While guys clearly use the accidental bump/drink spill as a move, do girls ever use that same game? Is Lume finally going to start shooting his shot more now that we are opening up? Does anybody believe that "the bar is too dark" is a real excuse for Kristen not shooting her shot? What are the Quarantings crew go-to drinks? Do girls actually judge guys based on their drink order? Is Lume way too dramatic when it comes to what shots can and cannot be ordered. After a side story about the now closed Bar Louie, Lume goes over a recent night out in the new post-quarantine era that went way left. QQH (65:37): Kristen highlights a new crime show with Kate Winslet while Lume recommends what else but a new anime about a black Samurai. While she hasn't watched Mortal Kombat yet, Kristen gushes about Tenet and discusses the movie making wonders of Christopher Nolan.

We need to get beyond "coupon crack" as Kelly calls it, and move to a Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) mindset in restaurant marketing. On this episode of Restaurants Reinvented, Kelly explains the most effective way marketers can collect useful data, how to sell directly to your consumers, the true meaning of loyalty, and more tips for meeting consumers where they are today. Top Takeaways: Test & Learn - now is the best time for marketers to test and learn from customers. Customers are more forgiving right now. Get Inside the 4 Walls - marketers must go onsite to see what's happening in their local markets. Recent Stats: 50% of guests have returned to on-prem visits; and weekday spikes way outperform weekends in the pandemic. Lack of Trust in Data - why some CMOs and CEOs don't trust data, esp mobile attribution data, and how to validate that. The Psychology of TikTok - we break it down and talk about recent viral campaigns."My hope is that restaurant owners and operators open themselves up to agency and consulting partners, such as myself, in a much bigger way moving forward. Most of us have valuable experience both inside and outside of the industry that could prove beneficial as you look to grow and evolve. Now is a great time to test, build and bet on a promising future."Resources: - Flight and Flute website- Black Box Intelligence weekly reports - Kelly on LinkedIn About Kelly: Based in Seattle, Kelly is an independent consultant who believes that the new agency model, is not an agency at all. It is about being a consultative leader, untied to media or agency overhead. It's about leading strategic thinking, informed by data and insights. It's about leading a collective and bringing in the right talent to meet the needs for each brand and their business challenge. From category leaders such as ASU, Frito Lay, Target, Outback Steakhouse, Bar Louie, WTIA, Apprenti and more – marketers agree the time has come to think and act differently. As a leader of strategy and development, Kelly is responsible for building award winning collectives in support of transforming some of the world’s leading brands. As a strategist with over 20 years of retail and merchandising DNA, she understands that the marketing dollar must first and foremost drive sales and support business needs. It is no longer brand for the sake of brand. The marketing dollar must at all times, add value.
