They also address a listener's dilemma about what to do with a losing position in PayPal, debating the sunk cost fallacy and the company's turnaround prospects.

Tonight, Denise selected our wine because of it's unique label, but it is also a new variety for us to taste. We have never had a single variety Macabeo. This grape variety is normally used in blends, and is one of the main grapes used in Cava.The wine comes from a newer winery, Parajes del Valle that started in 2018. The winemaker is just 28 years old, but it seems she is very well regarded. They are Certified Organic. One website said the wine is excellent with crab legs.Tonight, we are enjoying:2023 Macabeo Ecologico. It is described as having juicy pear, green apple and citrus with bright acidity and a fresh mineral edge. The grapes are hand-picked, fermentation is started in stainless steel tanks with wild yeasts, and is finished in concrete for 15 days. Minimal sulphur is added after fermentation. The wine is stored in the concrete tanks until bottling. Bright; clean and crisp white fruit on the nose with yellow apple; crunchy pear and a bit of ripe green citrus. The palate is super clean and fresh with heaps of upfront acidity; lime and crisp yellow apple. There is a subtle floral note at the back and a little softer pear and melon. Mouthwatering.Denise liked the wine a lot, but thought it really needed to be paired with some food. I was less of a fan, but mostly because it just isn't my type of wine. We both gave it a three rating, Denise being a high three and close to four, and myself a low three close to a two.Next week we will taste and learn about Petite Sirah.

La Ventana MetropolitanaComenzamos hablando del éxito de la bodega Maset, que fue galardonada como la mejor cava del mundo por su producto Cava 1917, y la promoción de la nueva residencia para mayores DomusVi Fátima en Vigo, junto a las ofertas del Black Friday en diversos comercios y una campaña para ganar un crucero por el Mediterráneo en Zona Náutico. Se informó del operativo de frío en Vigo, donde el alcalde Abel Caballero detalló la asistencia a personas sin hogar, y se destacó la huelga en atención primaria en Galicia, con sindicatos como Confederación Intersindical Galega (CIG) y OMEGA alegando un seguimiento masivo a pesar de las cifras de la Xunta. En el ámbito judicial, se mencionó la absolución de dos hombres en un caso de violación a menores y el sobreseimiento provisional de la causa por supuesto delito de odio en un restaurante de Vigo, a la vez que se denunciaron vertidos de combustible en la red de saneamiento de Baiona por la asociación Salvemos Santa Marta ante la Guardia Civil. Las tensiones políticas se centraron en la Diputación de Pontevedra y el Concello de Vigo por la reforma de la piscina de Teis y la demanda de la alcaldesa de Moaña, Leticia Santos, para la apertura del nuevo centro de salud con urgencias, mientras que el Concello de Vigo recibió una ayuda de la Fundación Biodiversidad para la mejora ecológica de un carril bici. Finalmente, el director de fútbol del Real Club Celta de Vigo, Marco Garcés, se mostró optimista sobre posibles fichajes y la renovación de jugadores clave, y se reportó la suspensión de un pleno en Ponteareas por la protesta de trabajadoras del Servicio de Ayuda a Domicilio (SAD).

Sometimes, you need to choose your battles carefully. In today's talk, I'll share how an awkward moment at Cava could have been more awkward, but I decided to take the high road. CONQUER SHYNESS

Just in time for the holiday season, I review the five ways to get fizz in a wine (on purpose) -- and the wines that result. I discuss regions and styles of different wines in each of the three major categories: Ancestral Method/Pétillant Naturel, Méthode Champenoise/ Metodo Classico, and the Martinotti/Charmat/Tank Method.    From Col Fondo to Method Cap Classique to German Sekt, I offer you new possibilities and sparkling wine types you may not know or think of off the top of your head, but which are all great in their own right and many which are ridiculously affordable (and yes, it's way more than just Prosecco and Cava!).      Photo: The "Underground Cathedrals" in Canelli, a UNESCO site Source: Alta Langa DOCG     Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Become a member today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   Check out my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access.  They have an amazing selection -- once you get hooked on their wines, they will be your go-to!

Growth tests the soul of every organization. As companies expand, consistency often replaces compassion—but CAVA proves you can scale without losing humanity. With 400 restaurants and 12,000 team members, CAVA has built a culture that's as grounded as it is consistent through a people framework rooted in heart, health, and humanity. In this episode, I sit down with Kelly Costanza, Chief People Officer of CAVA, to unpack exactly how they've done it—diving into their MVC framework (Mission, Values, and Competencies) that turns ideals into action. We explore their recognition systems like MVC Awards and Value Cards, the CCT Program that trains leaders as culture coaches, and Impact Plans that replace performance reviews with real-time growth. Kelly also shares how CAVA brings connection to life through the Love Button and Allies in Motion (AIM) programs, integrates culture across the employee lifecycle, and balances AI innovation with human warmth. This episode offers every CHRO a practical look at how to bring values to life, connect them to performance, and make culture come alive. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

The usual fan favorites like Chipotle, Sweetgreen and Cava are suddenly falling out of favor with young American consumers.

John welcomes four-time Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Carol Leonnig to discuss her new book with Aaron C. Davis, “Injustice: How Politics and Fear Vanquished America's Justice Department.” Leonnig, a 25-year Washington Post veteran now serving as a senior MSNBC correspondent, explains how Donald Trump's first-term impairment of the DOJ, followed by Merrick Garland's failure to meet the moment after January 6, not only let Trump evade legal accountability but set the stage for his radical second-term subversion of the department's role and the rule of law itself. She also weighs in on Trump's recent spate of pardons and maladroit handling of the Epstein files, as well her own scoop regarding Tom Homan and his cash-filled Cava bag.

Could a pandemic business-plan lesson for a bored kid spark the next breakout fast-casual brand?This episode moves fast — because Rob Gresham's career has never slowed down. Chris Ressa sits with the restaurant veteran who went from washing dishes at 15 to helping architect the early operational engine behind CAVA's meteoric growth from zero to 80 stores.Rob shares the wild ride: running a steakhouse kitchen as a teenager, getting recruited by Chipotle to fix troubled locations, learning the business side under industry giants, and joining CAVA before it was a household name — building systems, opening markets, and helping scale a brand that eventually went public.Then the pandemic hit. Consulting work vanished. His son was bored. So Rob turned a homeschool project into something much bigger: a business plan for a scratch-made, allergen-conscious chicken concept. When it came time to name it, Rob's son delivered the winner: Isaac's — inspired by Isaac Newton, who invented calculus and discovered gravity while quarantined during the plague. “He changed the world in quarantine,” his son said. “You created a restaurant. Name it Isaac's.”Today, Isaac's Poultry Market has two booming locations, a cult following, and the DNA of a future fast-casual standout. Rob's story is momentum, grit, and timing — the kind Retail Retold was made for.What You'll Hear:How Rob went from washing dishes at 15 to helping scale CAVA into an 80-unit national powerhouseThe pivotal career moves — and mentors — that shaped his operator mindsetWhy he left CAVA at its peak and walked straight into entrepreneurshipThe pandemic moment that sparked Isaac's Poultry Market (and how his son named it)What it really takes to open a restaurant during supply-chain chaos and skyrocketing construction costsHow Rob chose his first two locations — and the real-world negotiation battles behind themWhy exclusives matter, how fast-casual operators think about competition, and the markets he's targeting nextThe scratch-made, allergen-friendly philosophy behind Isaac's menuAnd the big question: Is Isaac's positioned to become the next major fast-casual brand?Chapters00:00 — From Dish Pit to DriveHow a 15-year-old dishwasher discovered his path — and his ambition — in the restaurant world.02:00 — Learning the Business Beyond the KitchenThe mentors and moments that pushed Rob from chef to full-scale operator.04:45 — Chipotle, CAVA, and Fixing What's BrokenRob's early role in stabilizing stores and helping build CAVA's operational backbone from day zero.06:30 — Building a Rocketship BrandCross-country construction sprints, tiny founding teams, and opening stores at breakneck speed.09:00 — The Decision to Walk AwayWhy Rob left CAVA at its peak and refused to transition into an office role.13:00 — Pandemic Curveball → Entrepreneurial BreakthroughHow a business-plan lesson with his son turned into the foundation for Isaac's Poultry Market.14:00 — Naming Isaac's: A Quarantine Stroke of GeniusThe Isaac Newton inspiration that became a bold, meaningful brand name.17:00 — Building Location #1 in a Broken Supply ChainConstruction chaos, blown budgets, and the reality of opening a restaurant during COVID.22:00 — The Battle for Location #2Inside the seven-month negotiation to secure exclusives and protect the emerging brand.29:00 — The Future of Isaac's Poultry MarketHow Rob is approaching growth, second-gen spaces, and...

After hemming and hawing all week, AJ ACTUALLY followed through on his powerlifting threats... and he's got the hardware to prove it. (Whether anyone was there to celebrate it with him is a different story) Yogging Yack is peaking at the right time going into his half marathon in Richmond this weekend. (Whether he sees family, friends, or co-hosts at the finish line is a different story.) Of course when he's not race prepping, Yack is glued to Netflix's newest Physical series, and he's pushing hard for AJ to tune in. (Spoiler: It's not working... yet). Cava's failing, Devils are wearing Prada again, and we really don't know if the Iceman even owns running shoes at this point. If you're an above average runner, this episode is probably the perfect length for a half marathon.

In hour of the show, Tobin comes in hot at the Cleveland Cavaliers who are the Miami Heat's opponent again tonight. The Cava aren't playing a lot of their key players tonight like All star Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley. You would think that not playing theor best players would make him happy but he isn't/ He wants competitive basketball and wonders how they sitting players in the middle of November?

My guest today is Ron Shaich, founder of Panera and chairman of CAVA. The headlines will tell you that Ron built Panera into a $7.8 billion company. But the real story is far more interesting. He went all in on Panera. He sold off every other concept they owned, like Au Bon Pain, to focus on on Panera. His philosophy is simple: Be long-term greedy, not short-term stupid. We discuss why profit is always a byproduct (focus on it and you'll lose everything), how to understand the customer, and the real costs of building something great. Today he's repeating the same playbook he used at Panera with CAVA. At 71, he tracks his glucose continuously and works out every morning at 8am. He runs quarterly reviews on his life with the same discipline he brought to building companies. This isn't about restaurants. It's about making painful bets when everyone else is optimizing for next quarter, and understanding that real commitment owns you—you never own it. ----- Thank you to the sponsors for this episode: reMarkable: Get your paper tablet at https://www.reMarkable.com today .tech domains: Nothing says tech like being on .tech https://get.tech/ Shopify: https://shopify.com/knowledgeproject ----- Upgrade: Get a hand edited transcripts and ad free experiences along with my thoughts and reflections at the end of every conversation.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news — and wow was there a lot of it, from M&A moves to a glut of meaningful earnings reports. They start with the M&A headlines, exploring the Denny's acquisition, Starbucks' sale of its China business, and Yum's strategic review of Pizza Hut. What do these moves mean for each respective chain? Sam and Alicia break it down. Then they dive into all of the quarterly earnings reports from the week, of which, by their count, there were 20. That includes a look at casual dining — generally faring positively, with good results from Dine Brands, Texas Roadhouse, and Bloomin' — as well as fast casual (middling results from CAVA and Wingstop and a disastrous showing by Sweetgreen) and QSR (big winners in Taco Bell and KFC, poor showings from Wendy's and Pizza Hut). Sam and Alicia talk about the big-picture implications of the quarter and what we might expect from these leading restaurant chains going forward. For more on these stories: Denny's acquired by group of investors for approximately $620 millionYum Brands exploring potential sale of Pizza HutWendy's to close hundreds of U.S. restaurants

The government shutdown is now the longest on record, and it could have an impact on Q4 GDP. Plus, are fast-casual chains like Cava and Chipotle losing their edge as consumers pull back? And Billionaire Barry Sternlicht says New York City is in for a rough time following Zohran Mamdani's win. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Die Futures erholen sich deutlich von den Tiefs – nach dem starken Abverkauf im Nasdaq 100 sehen wir das klassische Muster: eine Gegenbewegung nach unten überverkauften Tech-Werten. Laut Bespoke Investment geht es historisch am Folgetag oft wieder bergauf. AMD mit leichten Gewinnmitnahmen, Arista Networks, Pinterest und Super Micro unter Druck – vor allem wegen dünner Margen. Astera Labs dagegen überzeugt mit starken Zahlen und optimistischem Ausblick. Auch außerhalb des Tech-Sektors tut sich einiges: Rivian profitiert von robusten Ergebnissen, Amgen glänzt mit beeindruckenden Zahlen. Im Konsumbereich zeigt sich Schwäche: McDonald's verfehlt die Erwartungen, CAVA senkt den Ausblick – und Apollo zieht sich offenbar von der geplanten Übernahme von Papa John's zurück. Heute richtet sich der Blick auf den ISM-Dienstleistungsindex (16 Uhr MEZ). Fällt der schwach aus, könnte der Wall Street erneut Gegenwind drohen.

The Lemonade fast-casual brand is closing locations. Bravo and Brio are under new management. And what Cava can teach us about M&A.

How is the Spanish sparkling wine Cava different from the Italian bubbly Prosecco? What makes Xarel·lo stand out from Spain's other traditional Cava grapes? How did Alicante's Monastrell grape give rise to the rare Fondillón wine, and what makes it different from Port or Sherry? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Sarah Jane Evans, author of the terrific new book The Wines of Central and Southern Spain: From Catalunya to Cadiz. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.   Giveaway Two of you are going to win a copy of Sarah Jane Evans' wonderful new book, The Wines of Central and Southern Spain: From Catalunya to Cadiz. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose two people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights What do you need to know about Xarel·lo and Spanish sparkling wine? How does Cava compare to Prosecco? What effect does the aging process used for premium Cavas have on their taste profile, and how does it compare to Champagne? What is the historical significance of the Terra Alta region? Which historical artifacts has Sarah Jane encountered while visiting Spanish vineyards? How does Richard Ford's 1840s observation about Valencia still define Spanish wine culture in the Valencia region? What might surprise you about the ancient amphorae in Valencia and how they're used in modern winemaking? How do the three main styles of Sherry differ? Which types of glassware and food pair best with Sherry? What are copitas, and how do they differ from other glasses used for Sherry? How does serving temperature affect our enjoyment of Sherry? What do you need to know about wine and the Canary Islands? What challenges and opportunities does Sarah Jane see for the future of the Spanish wine industry?   Key Takeaways How is the Spanish sparkling wine Cava different from the Italian bubbly Prosecco? Prosecco bubbles are created and captured in the tank to make it a pleasantly fizzy drink. Whereas Cava is made exactly like Champagne. It's aged in the bottle with its yeast. It begins to develop other aromas which are nothing to do with flowers or fruits. The youngest Cava, can be released at nine months, younger than the youngest Champagne. If you're going to have a very young fizzy wine, then Prosecco is very appealing. What makes Xarel·lo stand out from Spain's other traditional Cava grapes? People have started to recognise that this white grape variety, once just a component in blending, can be grown on its own and produces lovely, fresh, excitingly lively wines that are not very high in alcohol. If you're making Cava, it's the one that will last. It has a capacity to age, which is better than the other two. How did Alicante's Monastrell grape give rise to the rare Fondillón wine, and what makes it different from Port or Sherry? Alicante is one of the places for Monastrell. Historically, they used to make a wine out of this red grape that got so ripe they didn't need to fortify it because the grape on the vine got so sweet that it turned itself into alcohol. Then it was a wine that was stable enough you could have it in a barrel. Then you could send it to India or to Africa, all around the world.   About Sarah Jane Evans Sarah Jane is an award-winning writer. She travels widely as an educator and consultant, and is a Contributing Editor to Decanter. Her books include The Wines of Central and Southern Spain, The Wines of Northern Spain, Seville, Chocolate Unwrapped, and also the entries on Spain and Sherry for the annual Hugh Johnson Pocket Wine Guide.

Now, the government will try to prove he lied to Congress when he said he never “authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports” about the investigation of Hillary Clinton's emails, even though he had, in fact, authorized “Person 3” to do this.

Disney reverses course and announces, despite pressure from the FCC, Jimmy Kimmel will return to the air. President Trump, speaking at the White House, declares — without scientific evidence — that acetaminophen use during pregnancy causes autism. The DOJ shuts down an FBI investigation into border czar Tom Homan, who was caught, on tape, accepting a $50,000 bribe in a Cava bag. Favreau, Lovett, and Tommy react to it all and discuss Charlie Kirk's NFL stadium memorial service, Sen. Ted Cruz's departure from the MAGA-majority on free speech, and Trump's latest Watergate-level corruption scandal—the firing of a US Attorney who refused to charge Trump's enemies with crimes they did not commit. Then, Sen. Elizabeth Warren stops by the studio to talk to Lovett about the Democratic Party's impending government shutdown fight.

President Trump mangles acetaminophen and issues a sweeping “don't take Tylenol” decree. Are some people truly more attractive to mosquitoes than others? Sadie Dingfelder joins to walk through decades of mosquito studies, from Gambian huts filled with human volunteers to modern lab assays with paraffin membranes, and explains why carbon dioxide, sweat, and even bananas can make one person a mosquito buffet while another goes unbitten. She answers the question “Is It Bullshit?” Also: a spiel on Tom Homan, a $50,000 bribe, and a bright yellow Cava bag that says as much about government indifference as it does about corruption.

My guest today is Sean Black, CEO of Happy Belly Food Group (CSE: HBFG | OTCQB: HBFGF). Happy Belly is a Canadian consolidator of emerging Quick Serve Restaurant (QSR) brands, with expansion plans into the U.S. The company started as Plantingco, a niche plant-based CPG business, but under Sean's leadership pivoted to become food agnostic—focused on scalable, cash flow positive QSR concepts. The model is straightforward: acquire small, profitable, debt-free brands, grow corporate stores with free cash flow, and scale through franchising. The portfolio is intentionally diversified with no duplication—think Rosie's Burgers as a Shake Shack equivalent, IQ Foods as Canada's Sweet Green, and Pyro as a Cava-style concept. I spoke with Sean to learn more about the company, as well as: The pivot from Plantingco to QSR consolidation M&A model and brand strategy Growth targets and the $100 million milestone Risks, alignment, and long-term vision For more information about Happy Belly Food Group, please visit: https://happybellyfg.com/ This podcast was recorded and is being made available by SNN, Inc.

Check out our Side Hustle Ideas Database: https://clickhubspot.com/thds Food quality remains solid, but the value proposition of these “slop bowl” chains has completely collapsed as prices skyrocket while portion sizes stay the same. Chipotle's $19 burrito bowl raises eyebrows, while Sweetgreen's $29 kale salad feels like paying luxury prices for what amounts to rabbit food with fancy branding. So with these price increases, are these businesses thriving or just barely surviving? Plus: Tesla is losing US market share and McDonald's brings out even more discount deals.
