The Fast Casual Nation Podcast offers exclusive interviews with experts ranging from top chefs and brand makers to executives and restaurants who work in one of the fastest-growing segments of the restaurant industry. In this episode, I talk with Katy Velazquez, Corporate Executive Chef at QDOBA about how the fast-casual Mexican restaurant is able to stay current on trends and be true to its identity. QDOBA with over 730+ restaurants located in the U.S. and Canada is the second largest brand in the Mexican fast-casual industry but is the largest brand in the industry that franchises. QDOBA's menu offers a combination of made-to-order, a la carte, and chef-driven, curated cuisine with freshly-prepared ingredients, with many items made in-house. Velazquez and I talk about getting into the restaurant industry, she says, “I fell in love with food. I started working in restaurants when I was 19 as a host at a brewery and I just fell in love with it. I grew up doing theater, and I think there's really this connection to me between theater and restaurants.” After finishing culinary school, Velazquez worked for James Beard Award-winning chef Rick Bayless. She attributes her time with Bayless to completely changing the trajectory of her career. Valezquez says, “I just fell in love with Mexican food and the culture and the way they feed people.”QDOBA with a history of twenty-seven years prides itself on true flavors for its customers. Velazquez shares that the brand is always looking for flavor differentiators which are things that other restaurants in the market do not offer. She says “we are creating burritos, bowls, and nachos, but we want to have these extra special sauces and toppings that are the things that you're really going to remember.”Hear Velazquez talk about her advice for restaurant executives when it comes to keeping menu items fresh and appealing to customers, plus her top 3 tips for developing a menu check out this episode of Fast Casual Nation or tune in on Apple Podcasts.

Celebrity chef and restaurant consultant Brian Duffy (Bar Rescue, Date Plate) talks about industry pain points, his experience opening a restaurant during the pandemic, and best practices for treating staff on the latest Food Institute Podcast. “I really believe in educating staff and I believe in empowering them.” – Chef Brian Duffy More about Chef Brian Duffy: Born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, Chef Brian Duffy had his first experiences in the kitchen as a young child with his big Irish-Italian Family. Those experiences introduced him to culinary life, and led him to study at Philadelphia's The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College. Culinary school may have taught him technique, but it was those Sunday nights cooking with his family where he developed his passion. After graduation, Chef Duffy worked under James Beard Award winning Chef Jean Marie LaCroix at The Four Seasons in Philadelphia. From there, he partnered in opening restaurants for employers & even a few of his own. It was through opening his own brick and mortar that Duffy began to realize his flair for refined, modernized pub fare and coined the term “New Celtic” cuisine. Duffy brought his “New Celtic” point of view to the Dave Magrogan Group as their Corporate Executive Chef for their brands. In the Meantime, Duffy formed "Duffified Experience Group”, a consulting firm with the realization that most of the smaller restaurant and bar operators that are out there needed someone who spoke their language & worked the way that they do. Through this firm, Duffy has been able to work and oversee restaurants, bars and nightclubs around the globe. The motto of “Redefining the economics of food service” has given Duffy and all of his clients a new lease on their business, and their lives. On and off camera, Chef Duffy works with restaurants across the country updating their menus, and coaching them through much needed business and organizational as well as food and drink face-lifts. His proven success has made him one of the most in-demand restaurant, and hospitality consultants across North America and overseas. Duffy is perhaps most recognized from his abundant television appearances on the wildly popular Spike TV series Bar Rescue, where he tours the country (sometimes on his Harley) reforming failing bars and restaurants with his “tell it like it is” style. He made his national on- camera debut on the Food Network series Date Plate and has appeared on countless segments on the DIY Network, HGTV, NBC, and Fine Living Networks. Chef Duffy is also a regular to the Food Network by being involved as a judge in the series Beat Bobby Flay and has appeared on The Today Show since 2006 as a recurring guest. Chef Duffy has his own line of signature spices, “Duffified Spice” as well as a line of t-Shirts, kitchen aprons, hats, and chef-driven hand soaps. Currently Duffy is the Culinary Director and Board member for “Bar and Restaurant Expo,” the world's largest nightlife show. Duffy is also lending his expertise to a new venture, “World Chef”, which is bringing hand curated meal kits and live cooking segments right to your home! He has also collaborated with Tampa based “Radio Influence” to create "Duffified Live" a talking & travel show with an over the top approach to eating, drinking, and experiences. When he isn't with clients, taping or traveling, he is working on his soon-to-be-released modern gastropub cookbook, or hanging out with his family and friends in the suburbs of Philadelphia.

Karatassos Executive Chef Kyma and Corporate Executive Chef Buckhead Life Restaurant Group As Executive Chef of Atlanta's acclaimed Kyma restaurant, Chef Pano I. Karatassos has redefined the taste, style and ingredients that comprise what he refers to as Modern Greek Cooking. Pano grew up in the kitchen, watching and listening as his Yiayia (Grandmother) prepared traditional foods, and worked magic with traditional Greek ingredients like olives, olive oil and honey.--three tastes that are central to Greek culture and cooking. In the 1980s and '90s, Pano I. Karatassos watched his father, Pano Karatassos, founder and CEO of the Buckhead Life Restaurant Group, trail blaze the Atlanta culinary scene.  The legendary restaurant Pano's & Paul's, then 103 West, Buckhead Diner, Chops, Pricci, Atlanta Fish Market, Lobster Bar.  All restaurants synonymous with the best ingredients, highest quality service and attention to detail. The younger Pano's culinary path really began when he was 16 years old and working in his father's kitchens.  It continued with formal schooling: a degree in hospitality management from Florida International University in 1993 and one from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y., in 1996. In 2001, he opened the Greek restaurant Kyma, and continues to hold a leadership position as Corporate Executive Chef within the family-owned business that has since expanded south, into the Florida cities of Boca Raton, Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale. In late 2018, Chef Pano released his 1st cookbook, in collaboration with his cousin, Sophia Perpera, one of the world's leading authorities on Greek wines, with photography by acclaimed food photographer Francesco Tonelli. Longtime friend and mentor, Thomas Keller authored the book's forward. On August 1, 2019, Chef Pano competed on the Food Network's show, Beat Bobby Flay.

On today's episode of The Good Fork podcast, I've got the talented Chef Suzannah Gerber. She grew up working in kitchens and around family members who are accomplished cooks and restaurateurs, so food was a major part of her culture. Before she got into the kitchen though, she took another path -- a path that her immediate family took -- to being doctors. And then she took another, running a successful international fashion company in NYC with locations around the world.But, during this time Suzannah was also seriously and chronically ill. No doctor could figure it out and after years of tests, medications and therapies, she found the answer: food.She went plant-based and within two weeks of changing her diet, she was asymptomatic and after four weeks, she was off her medications.It was then, in her 30s, she decided to become a professional chef, walking away from her fashion business that had caught the eyes fashion magazines like Vogue and celebrities including Beyonce, and went into the kitchen,Her culinary career has been impressive, to say the least. She has  developed food for major retailers like Roots and Whole Foods, worked with some of the largest consumer packaged goods companies developing flavor profiles and products. She served as the Executive Chef and Director for Pressed and Corporate Executive Chef of Prestige, and Pressed. Today, Chef runs her own food industry consulting company, Haven.She also works with the food and medical industries, bridging the gap of information, skill, and awareness for these foods, working on current medical studies observing the impact of food and diet on chronic illness and disease.During all of this, somehow Chef found time to write a book, Plant Based Gourmet, which is due out this year.Follow Suzannah Gerber on Instagram, FacebookCheck out more episodes of The Good Fork: www.vegansbaby.com/the-good-forkFollow Vegans, Baby on Facebook – www.facebook.com/vegansbabyFollow Vegans, Baby on Instagram – www.instagram.com/vegansbabyFollow Vegans, Baby on Pinterest – www.pinterest.com/vegansbabyFollow Vegans, Baby on Twitter – www.twitter.com/vegansbabyFollow host Diana Edelman on Instagram – www.instagram.com/diana_edelmanTo discover vegan dining around the world, head to Vegans, Baby – www.vegansbaby.comDownload or order The Las Vegas Vegan Dining Guide today and start eating at the best restaurants in town for vegan food! bit.ly/2020lvveganguideSupport the show (http://paypal.me/dianaedelman)

My next guest on today's episode is going to make you feel hungry as he takes all of us on a gastronomical and fun trip down the memory lane. I am pleased to have a conversation with Jaydeep Mukherjee, also known as JD, in the food industry.  An alumnus of IHM Mumbai, Jaydeep started his career as a trainee chef at the Taj Mahal Hotel, Mumbai. It was at the Zodiac Grill – then considered the premium European food restaurant in the country – where he mastered the principles of fine dining cooking. A long and splendid spell on board the iconic luxury liner Queen Elizabeth 2 followed a few years later. In 2002, he took on the mantle of Chef de Cuisine, then that of Executive Chef and finally Corporate Executive Chef of deGustibus Hospitality, the maverick company gave the country the iconic Indigo and rewrote the rules of fine gastronomy in Mumbai. In the 16 years spent with the company, Chef JD was instrumental in opening every new restaurant owned and operated by DHPL. From the iconic Indigo to the super popular Indigo Delicatessens, the limited service and casual D:OHs, to the very traditional Indian restaurants Neel, Tote Bar and Banquets, and also their premium outdoor catering division Moveable Feast, JD designed both outstanding food across cuisines and genres and also stellar hospitality. While at deGustibus, JD started and headed social outreach programs with the Salaam Baalak Trust, an Indian non-profit that provides support for street children, and SPJ Sadhana School, an academic institute and resource center for training people with autism and special needs. He has mentored many young chefs from both institutions on structured training programs and is very happy to share that a lot of his mentees are professional chefs today – some still at deGustibus, and many with other restaurants of repute. In August 2018, Chef JD joined Impresario Handmade Restaurants as Brand Head for the decade-old Smoke House Deli and was instrumental in revamping the brand into a fresh new avatar. From refreshing the menu to introducing new techniques and styles of cooking, JD has even kickstarted the Goodness To Go vertical that will focus on healthy, organic food, freshly made for patrons to grab a quick meal. A man of varied interests, JD is an avid traveler and biker, a talented photographer, and a reasonably skilled musician, but yes, the kitchen remains his first love. Excellence in hospitality is all about an eye for the little details, and that is what JD holds dear after having spent many fun years in the industry.
