This is the 4pm All-Local update on Thursday, Jan. 22nd.
Deric Rosenbaum, President and CTO of Groucho's Deli, a legendary brand celebrating 85 years in business, shares his journey from a commercial construction background to leading the brand's growth and technological evolution, emphasizing a philosophy of "adapt, not change" to modernize systems while preserving the core essence of community and hospitality. He discusses the strategic decision to prioritize controlled, concentric growth through franchising, the importance of fostering human connection in an increasingly digital world, and how leveraging data and a robust tech stack (including Square for restaurants, Ovation, and Bikky) helps optimize operations and enhance customer loyalty without sacrificing the personal touch.10 Key Takeaways "Adapt, Don't Change": Modernize systems (technology, operations) while retaining the core brand identity and legacy (e.g., original recipes). Community and Hospitality are Core Assets: Building community and genuine hospitality is crucial for customer loyalty and takes time and investment. Controlled Growth Strategy: Groucho's prefers slow, measured, and concentric growth to maintain quality, brand recognition, and efficient distribution, avoiding rapid, capital-intensive expansion common in private equity models. Technology as an Enabler, Not a "Shiny Object": Tech should enhance guest experience and simplify operations, not just be used for its own sake. Prioritize Retention Over Acquisition: Focusing on retaining existing guests drives frequency, which in turn leads to organic new guest acquisition and revenue growth, even during economic pressures. The Importance of an Open API: A robust and open POS API (like Square's) allows for seamless integration with "best of fit" third-party tools (like Ovation for feedback and Bikky for data) to create a unified commerce ecosystem. Data-Driven Decisions: Utilizing a customer data platform (CDP) like Bikky allows for deep understanding and segmentation of guests to tailor marketing and improve operational efficiency. Consistency Creates Loyalty: Standardizing processes across the chain and delivering consistent experiences fuels success in the long term. Invest in Training and Culture: Especially in a franchise model, training operators (not just money partners) on the fundamentals of hospitality is key to maintaining brand standards and a positive guest experience. Listen to Your Guests: Use feedback mechanisms (like Ovation's text-based system) to engage in two-way conversations and make targeted operational adjustments based on sentiment analysis.
//The Wire//2300Z January 19, 2026////ROUTINE////BLUF: DOMESTIC INSURGENCY CONTINUES IN MINNEAPOLIS AS LYNCH MOBS BEGIN ATTACKING RANDOM CITIZENS. HARASSMENT AND INTIMIDATION OPERATIONS TARGETING CHRISTIAN CHURCHES ESCALATE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Minnesota: The situation in Minneapolis has escalated to the next phase of destabilization, as demonstrated by many incidents that took place over the weekend. On Saturday, malign actors began assaulting and harassing random citizens throughout the city, as roving lynch mobs have begun conducting patrols to hunt anyone who looks like they might be an ICE agent.In downtown Minneapolis, a man was nearly beaten to death on Portland Avenue by a mob who thought he was ICE because he was wearing a camouflaged jacket. Turns out, the man was actually an anti-ICE activist himself, but that did not matter to the mob at the time, and the man was rescued by police before the crowd could kill him.Two blocks to the north of this attack site, a different man was also targeted by a mob, which attacked him on the street outside the Hennepin County Courthouse. This individual was also attacked again at the Gateway Parking Ramp, which resulted in the man receiving head wounds. One block to the south on 4th Avenue, a third man was beaten and forced to undress in front of a mob, who did not like the fact that he was wearing an American flag shirt.In the more residential areas of the city, random people eating lunch at Clancy's Deli near W 38th Street were harassed by Anti-ICE activists, who thought they were ICE agents solely because they were wearing clean-cut clothing. In reality they were software engineers, but the discovery of this fact did not deter the vigilantes, which mobbed the establishment.In Saint Paul, the general state of unrest has become more serious as well. The downtown Hilton Doubletree has closed it's doors to all customers due to the inability to keep visitors safe during this period of heightened unrest. This hotel was being used by ICE, and hotel staff have received so many threats on their lives, the decision has been made to close the hotel entirely for the time being.Aside from the mobs attacking random people on the street, malign actors are also now targeting Christian Churches more deliberately. Sunday morning, a mob affiliated with Black Lives Matter and the NAACP targeted the Cities Church on Summit Avenue, which took the form of agitators bursting into the church during services, with the self-described goal of terrorizing the congregation. This operation was planned and given the name "Clandestine Operation Pull-up" by the instigators who coordinated the occupation of the church.USA: Around the nation, similar efforts have been noted among Anti-ICE activists to target Christians. In Washington D.C. two blocks from the US Capitol Building, Christians going to Church have been harassed on the street by Anti-ICE activists attempting to prevent them from going to Church or otherwise intimidate them for their faith.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Minneapolis, a change in doctrine is occurring among malign actors, which is crucial to understand as the situation continues to deteriorate. Directing their anger at federal agents over the past two weeks has proven the futility of this action; ICE is not going anywhere and their protests are not stopping the enforcement of federal immigration law. Consequently, malign actors have turned their rage to a demographic which is purely innocent in all of this...the civilian populace. Taking a page out of the book of every single terrorist organization that ever has existed, activist groups are now deliberately attacking soft-targets such as random people walking down the street, as a way of taking out their anger on the helpless who cannot defend themselves.This is why random citize

Since it's been a while since we last did a GG crossover, I wanted to share the new trial we are doing over there! It's a new Gavel Gavel trial! We are excited to announce that we will be producing a totally new full trial re-enactment working from our EXCLUSIVE access to the transcript of the federal prosecution of Sean Dunn, better known to the world as the “Sandwich Guy” after being federally charged for assaulting a CBP officer with a fully-loaded 12-inch Subway sandwich on the streets of DC. But before we get to the meat of 2025's Trial of the Century, legal sandwich artist Matt Cameron is here to slice up everything you need to know.

It's that time of the year again, dear listener: our season five finale, where three cases, three courtrooms and one very strange year collide. We kick things off with the trial that dominated headlines with its circus-like atmosphere: The United States of America v. Sean "Diddy" Combs. The rapper and producer was acquitted in Manhattan of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking by a jury, but convicted of transporting individuals for prostitution. The mixed verdict spared Combs a life sentence while raising questions about how far prosecutors can stretch RICO law as fans proclaimed, "Freako is not a RICO."Next, with help from our France correspondent, Lily Radziemski, we head overseas to a trial fueled by internet rumor. French First Lady Brigitte Macron has gone on the offensive as conspiracy theorists spread false claims about her biological sex, testing the limits of free speech and whether courts can rein in online harassment.And finally, back in Washington, D.C., reporter Ryan Knappenberger walks us through the sandwich heard 'round the District: Sean Dunn, a former Justice Department lawyer, was acquitted of assault after throwing a sandwich at federal agents during an immigration crackdown. The viral incident turned Dunn into a case study in protest, power and prosecutorial restraint.This episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel. Intro music by The Dead Pens.

Kia ora e te whānau. The path to success is seldom simple. It's often multiple overlays of experience, each building upon the other until the goal is reached, be that setting course records at 200-mile events like the Wild Horse or becoming an expert pastry chef and deli owner. Damian Watson is someone with overlays of experience. Andrew McDowall travelled out to Muriwai Beach on Auckland's rugged West Coast to meet up with Watson at the Deli he co-owns with the Steel brothers for a run and yarn about what it takes to compete at the highest level in 100-mile plus racing, how his past as a New Zealand Ice Hockey representative influenced his running, his love of travel, and just what his mother talked to the ODT about when he set the course record at the Wild Horse.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Cracker Barrel's post-logo-change sales slump, Sweetgreen's introduction of a $10 value bowl, and restaurant trend expectations for the year ahead. First up is Cracker Barrel, which continues to reel after its rebrand and logo change from earlier in the year. Sam and Alicia discuss the latest earnings from Cracker Barrel, which included a sharp decline in traffic and sales. How might Cracker Barrel return to growth? And what can other restaurant chains learn from this whole ordeal? Next up is Sweetgreen, which is also suffering from traffic and sales declines and just announced a new $10 Harvest Bowl LTO — the fast-casual salad chain's first value offer. Sam and Alicia talk about the implications for Sweetgreen and the broader fast-casual category, which has lost momentum in 2025 as consumer behaviors shift. Then they tackle 2026 trends, and particularly a report from Yum! Brands that outlined how the restaurant company expects younger consumers to dine in the year ahead. Sam and Alicia analyze the data and offer their own expectations for what 2026 might hold for restaurants.

On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with celebrity chef, cookbook author, and TV personality Duff Goldman, Charm City Cakes, in honor of baking season! "There's so much more baking that happens than other times of the year," he says. "It's our time to shine!" He also has a bunch of new projects. A few months ago Duff, who is known for making ginormous cakes that come alive, started the Topanga Woodworks Etsy shop. " I built cakes that move, which got me into building toys," he says. "Working with wood, things don't fall apart as much." Plus, he also just opened his first restaurant, Duff's Deli + Market, in the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The chef, who is constantly working and traveling, saw the need to put a restaurant representing familiarity into an airport hub. "As somebody who grew up in delis, [there's something] centering that happens when you get a nice bowl of chicken soup or a pastrami sandwich or a brisket with tiger sauce on it and a Dr. Brown's black cherry soda," Duff says. "It's not the thing you expect to find at an airport, but it's the thing you want in an airport." He adds, "Travel can be stressful, and I find that [having] something good and yummy really helps; it's nice." Duff Goldman talks about Duff's Deli + Market, Topanga Woodworks, and his thoughts on life, learning, and kindness. He also shares the recipe for his great-grandmother's Russian tea cakes, which you can get at JewishJournal.com/podcasts, along with other baking tips. "If you have the time, it usually behooves you to try to bake it once before you bake it for the big show," Duff says. "If everyone's coming over for Hanukkah, if you're going to make sufganiyot, make them once by yourself; make the mistakes." You will be confident in your ability to make them when the time comes.

In this fifth installment of the "Becoming the Protégé" series on Power Producers Shop Talk, host David Carothers chats with contestant Jeff Rountree, principal of the Roundtree Agency. The conversation is a flavorful blend of business strategy and culinary passion, as Jeff shares his journey from life insurance and corporate training to commercial ownership. They dive into the challenges of navigating an agency after a partner's passing, the importance of specialization in niche markets like health and fitness, restaurants, and contractors, and how Jeff's participation in The Protégé is already reshaping his professional life through networking and mentorship. Key Highlights: From Corporate Training to Agency Principal Jeff Rountree shares his pivot from life insurance to commercial ownership, navigating a partner's passing to focus on niche specialization in markets like restaurants and contractors. The Protégé: More Than a Competition Jeff joins Season 3 not just to win, but to leverage top-tier mentorship, expand his network, and accelerate his agency's growth through continuous learning. Mastering the Technical Side Jeff emphasizes the need for "brain surgeon" precision in insurance auditing and classifications to differentiate himself from transaction-focused agents. Crafting the Underwriter Narrative To prevent non-renewals, Jeff advocates for onsite client visits to build detailed, compelling stories for underwriters rather than simply submitting forms. Business Acumen with a Culinary Twist Using stories of cooking Katz's Deli pastrami and Italian pasta, Jeff illustrates how patience, preparation, and attention to detail are the secret ingredients for sales success.

The November 24 edition of the AgNet News Hour kicked off Thanksgiving week with a fun, flavorful conversation as hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill welcomed one of their favorite guests — Darren Hill, five-star chef, longtime restaurateur, and sales manager at JD Foods. Hill, who's been cooking turkeys professionally for decades, delivered a masterclass on choosing, thawing, seasoning, and safely preparing the perfect Thanksgiving bird. Hill began by explaining why whole turkeys aren't common in stores during summer months. Retailers avoid carrying slow-moving frozen inventory, he said, so most whole birds arrive in stores only during the holiday season. Deli turkey, on the other hand, remains a year-round staple because it's processed differently and doesn't follow the same seasonal pattern. As for how growers plan production, Hill said turkey processors ramp up months in advance. Orders from major retailers are often placed in July or August so that birds can be grown, processed, and frozen in time for the Thanksgiving rush. “It's all done way ahead of November,” he said. When it comes to cooking the perfect turkey, Hill is proudly traditional. “I love a classic oven roast,” he said. “That's what I grew up with — the smell of turkey, the sides, the memories.” But he also shared a standout recipe he discovered years ago: the Marco Polo Turkey, a fusion-style brined bird flavored with soy sauce, olive oil, orange juice, ginger, sherry, garlic, paprika, and cracked pepper. The marinade blends Mediterranean and Asian influences, creating a deeply flavorful, incredibly moist turkey that shines whether roasted or barbecued. Hill walked listeners through his preferred cooking method: start the oven hot at 375°F for 45 minutes, then gradually taper down to 350°F and finish around 320°F. Cooking times vary by size, but Hill stressed that the only truly reliable method is a food thermometer. “You want 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh, breast, and wing joint,” he said. “That's how you know it's safe.” He also recommended using a foil tent to prevent over-browning and shared a pro tip: on larger birds, make a lateral cut where the drumstick meets the body. “It helps heat penetrate the joint, especially on those big 24–30 pounders.” Food safety was another major theme. Hill emphasized that frozen birds should thaw in the refrigerator — 24 hours for every five pounds — or, if necessary, in cold running water that is changed every 30 minutes. And once Thanksgiving dinner is over, food should be refrigerated within two hours, not left on the counter while guests chat for hours. “That's when people get sick around the holidays,” he said. “Bacteria grows fast at room temperature.” Beyond turkey, Hill discussed holiday meats like ham and prime rib, noting that demand spikes for ribeye roasts this time of year. He encouraged families to consider buying a whole ribeye, roasting half for Thanksgiving, then cutting the other half into steaks for New Year's. “It stretches the value,” he said. Papagni and McGill wrapped up the show with classic Thanksgiving banter — football on TV, favorite sides, and the power of tradition — before thanking Hill for sharing years of professional insight. As Papagni put it, “If you want your turkey done right, listen to Darren.”

On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Dan Raskin, the fourth-generation owner of Manny's Cafeteria & Delicatessen. The legendary Chicago institution, started by his grandfather and great uncle, has been serving classic deli fare since 1942. "[When the deli first opened] our customers were primarily Jewish - I would say 95 or even 100 percent," Raskin says. "And now maybe 10% of our customers are Jewish." Raskin believes that's likely common for the delis in larger cities, like Chicago and Los Angeles, and he attributes it in part to a love of old-school European, house-made food. "I see a lot of the different cultures come in here, not just for corned beef and pastrami sandwiches, but for the short rib and the liver and onions and the dishes that are homemade that you can't get everywhere," he explains. "I think that people want to continue to have this type of food, but they want to make sure it's authentic and the highest quality." Then there's the nostalgia factor. "Everybody is happy when they're eating, especially when [it's] something that's nostalgic to them," Raskin says. "Whether you're eating a bowl of matzo ball soup here, or eating it at home, you think of the people that surrounded you when you ate it." Even growing up, Raskin, one of four siblings, knew he really wanted to follow in his family's footsteps. He definitely has mustard - never ketchup - running through his veins. Dan Raskin talks about Manny's origin story, his deli favorites, and their commitment to creating consistent quality food. He also shares his recipe for sweet kugel, which you can find at JewishJournal.com/podcasts.

Amaris and Randy further discussed the two sauces' flexibility for use in other recipe ideas, including drizzling some on eggs for breakfast, whipping some into an aioli for spreads, and as a marinade for meals.You can find more information and how to purchase WIPS online at: https://shopwips.com
In this eye-opening episode of The Clay Edwards Show, we dive deep into the frustrating saga of John Arthur Banks, a notorious downtown Jackson, Mississippi bum who's been terrorizing local businesses for over two decades. From my days owning nightclubs in downtown Jackson (2003-2011), I've seen this guy's harassment firsthand. Despite being arrested for burglarizing at least 15 businesses and pleading guilty SIX TIMES, Banks keeps getting released thanks to Hinds County's infamous "catch and release" program. He's free to strike again in a city fighting to recover from eight years under Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba's socialist policies. Jackson beat New York to electing a radical mayor—want proof of "communism done right"? Come tour Jacktown with me. We break down the shocking details from Jackson Jambalaya's latest exposé: Banks' criminal history spanning 2009-2024, lenient sentences from judges like Bill Gowan, William Kidd, Faye Peterson, Johnny McDaniels, and Damon Stevenson, and the DA's failures (shoutout to Jody Owens). Highlights include: 2009: Indicted for business burglary; pleaded guilty, full 5-year sentence suspended. 2017: Burglary at Jocko's Tacos; 7 years, 4 suspended (lived at Gateway Shelter). 2018: Burglary at Stanley's Wine and Liquor; 7 years, 3 suspended (concurrent with 2017). 2019: Burglary at Downtown Snack Shop; 7 years, 2 suspended + drug/alcohol treatment. 2020: Two counts for Greenbrook Flowers and Iron Horse Grill (2019 hits); 7 years, 2 suspended. 2022: Burglary at the Hood Building; 7 years, 2 suspended (no habitual offender enhancement). 2022 (again): 10 COUNTS including La Cazuela, Kiefer's, Shero's, Pizza and Daiquiri Shop, Steve's Deli, Mississippi Farmers Market, Downtown Drugstore, Pig and Pint, Finian's, and Tatum & Wade Law Firm—remanded as part of prior case. 2024: Capitol Police arrest for Downtown Drugstore, Native Coffee, and Lou's Restaurant (plus another); 1-year revocation, but paroled quickly. Indicted as habitual offender—trial set for July 2026. This guy's an economic terrorist, driving away customers and businesses. We also touch on recent closures: Arby's on High Street shutting down for good, plus PetSmart (I-55 North) and TJ Maxx (East County Line Road) relocating to Ridgeland's Highland Colony Parkway. Why? Crime and mismanagement—Jackson going full "Jackson." My raw, unfiltered reaction: No sympathy for these repeat offenders. I've dealt with them for years—most stories are lies, just excuses for dope. Police do their job, but prosecutors, judges, and MDOC keep releasing them. Businesses are fleeing—can you blame them?

Kankakee Community College announced its upcoming “Explore KCC Day,” inviting prospective students to learn about academic programs, financial aid, and campus life. In Bourbonnais, village trustees approved the purchase of a 2.19-acre parcel from Olivet Nazarene University to further development plans near The Grove. Manteno officials are weighing a proposal to apply the village's 5% hotel tax to short-term rentals like Airbnb and Vrbo, potentially generating new tourism revenue. And finally, the March 2026 primary ballot is taking shape, with multiple contested county board races and a challenge to County Clerk Dan Hendrickson for the first time since 2018.Send us a textSupport the show
