The Lexington Candy Shop in New York City has served burgers, fries and shakes to hungry patrons for decades. Last remodeled in 1948, the diner is the definition of old-fashioned. But that hasn't stopped it from getting a wave of new fans. In August 2022, this old-school business met the new world when Nicolas Heller, a TikToker and Instagrammer with 1.2 million followers known as New York Nico, popped in for a traditional Coke float – Coke syrup, soda water and ice cream. Naturally, he made a video. It went viral, garnering 4.8 million likes. “The next day (after the video was posted), the lines started forming at 8 in the morning,” John Philis, the diner's third-generation owner, recalls with amazement. “And it was like, huh!” When a smaller restaurant unexpectedly goes viral on TikTok or other social media, the sudden demand can be overwhelming. Owners have to adapt on the fly, revamping operations to quickly serve a crush of people. But savvy business owners who are able to adapt can parlay newfound fame into lasting changes that boost their business for years. But going viral doesn't lead to expansion for everyone. Some are just happy to enjoy the boost in their existing establishment. One person who knows about going viral is Dominique Ansel. In 2013, before most people knew the term “going viral,” the French pastry chef created the “Cronut,” a cross between a croissant and a donut, at his newly opened New York bakery. The Cronut created a craze the old-fashioned way, through newspaper and TV news reports. Ansel remembers the frantic early days when the bakery had to hire security to control the line. “It was very overwhelming. I have to say, it's not a feeling of like joy and happiness, the feeling of stress and pressure,” Ansel recalled. “When we first launched the Cronut, we only had like four employees in the bakery, two in the kitchen and two barista. That's it. So we were a very lean team,” he remembered. “It changed everything because we had to like, produce more. We had to hire more people.” This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Aujourd'hui nous sommes avec François Daubinet. Véritable électron libre de la haute-pâtisserie, François a fait ses armes à l'Hôtel Crillon, puis au Plaza Athénée, avant de devenir le chef pâtissier du restaurant étoilé Le Taillevent et de l'illustre Maison Fauchon. Pour co-animer ce nouvel épisode de Business of Bouffe, Philibert est accompagné de son acolyte, Samir Ouriaghli, sourceur d'épices et fondateur d'Ankhor. À travers cet épisode, nous cherchons à comprendre comment le parcours de François auprès des plus grands talents de la pâtisserie française et sa passion viscérale pour l'art et le design l'ont poussé à redéfinir les contours de son métier, en devenant Chef Pâtissier Consultant. Ainsi, dans un premier temps nous revenons sur le parcours de François en pâtisserie, déjà diplômé de plusieurs CAP à l'âge de 20 ans. Retracer son parcours c'est évidemment revenir sur sa formation chez les Compagnons du Devoir, qui l'a finalement amené outre-atlantique dans la cuisine triplement étoilée de Daniel Boulud et auprès de Dominique Ansel, à New-York. Dans la seconde partie du podcast, nous évoquons ses années "Palaces" qui ont évidemment changé sa vie. Du Crillon, au Taillevent en passant par le Plaza Athénée, ces années ont ravivé la flamme de la pâtisserie que François pensait avoir perdu. Il nous raconte l'exaltation du travail en équipe et des responsabilités, et l'expression grandissante de sa propre créativité. François est un véritable artiste : sa matière c'est le sucré évidemment, mais il aurait certainement pu être un sculpteur talentueux ou un grand architecte ! Enfin, Philibert et Samir profitent de cet échange pour le questionner sur le métier de Chef Pâtissier Consultant, qu'il exerce depuis 2021 à la suite d'une très belle expérience au sein de la Maison Fauchon. C'est l'occasion d'en savoir un peu plus sur ce métier finalement peu connu, dont la liberté on l'apprend à la fin du podcast, va pousser François à construire un tout nouveau projet à l'étranger.Cet épisode a été enregistré avec la participation exceptionnelle de Guillaume Sanchez (Chef étoilé), Victoire Loup (Journaliste gastronomique et consultante culinaire), Christophe Michalak (Champion du Monde de Pâtisserie en 2005) et Pierre Hermé (Chef Pâtissier et Chocolatier) Hébergé par Acast.

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Oct. 10 at 7 a.m. CT: GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Tens of thousands of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are packed into United Nations shelters as Israeli warplanes pound the tiny territory of 2.3 million people after their Hamas militant rulers launched an unprecedented weekend attack on Israel. Israel says it takes pains to avoid civilian casualties as it targets Hamas militant sites. But its military has also bombed multi-story family homes in crowded residential neighborhoods. Palestinians say there is no real escape in Gaza, which has been under a suffocating 16-year blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt. When war breaks out, as it has four times since the Hamas militant group seized power in 2007, even U.N. facilities that are supposed to be safe zones risk becoming engulfed in the fighting. WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says President Joe Biden has been interviewed as part of the special counsel investigation into his handling of classified documents. Spokesperson Ian Sams says Biden was voluntarily interviewed at the White House on Sunday and Monday. The investigation is being led by special counsel Robert Hur, who's looking into the improper retention of classified documents from Biden's time as vice president. The documents were found in Biden's Delaware home and a private office he used after he left public office. Attorney General Merrick Garland earlier this year appointed Hur to oversee the politically sensitive matter to avoid conflicts of interest. NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump's longtime finance chief is set to testify as the former president's civil trial enters its second week. Allen Weisselberg is also a defendant in New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit. Weisselberg is expected to testify Tuesday about his role in preparing Trump's annual financial statements, including conversations they had while finalizing the documents used to make deals and secure loans. James' lawsuit alleges Weisselberg engineered Trump's financial statements to meet his demands they reflect increases in his net worth and signed off on lofty valuations for assets. Trump attended the first three days of the non-jury trial last week but is not expected to return Tuesday. WASHINGTON (AP) — Two Federal Reserve officials have suggested that the central bank may leave interest rates unchanged at its next meeting in three weeks. That's because a surge in long-term interest rates has made borrowing more expensive and could help cool inflation without further action by the central bank. Since late July, the yield, or rate, on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note has jumped from around 4% to about 4.8%, a 16-year high. The run-up in the yield has inflated other borrowing costs and raised the national average 30-year mortgage rate to 7.5%, a 23-year high. Business borrowing costs have also risen as corporate bond yields have accelerated. Joby Aviation is working to develop electric-powered aircraft that will take off and land like a helicopter but fly like a small plane. Battery technology is helping Joby and other startups that are developing eVTOLs – short for electric vertical takeoff and landing. The company's biggest shareholder is Toyota, and it has a partnership with Delta Air Lines. Founder and CEO JoeBen Bevirt says the company is the realization of a longtime dream of his to make a better way for people to get from one place to another. The National League Division Series took center stage in Major League Baseball's playoffs, Monday Night Football saw the Raiders defense steal the show, and the NHL season begins today.  The NFL's ongoing push for worldwide exposure got another boost when organizers for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics delivered a proposal to put flag football on the program when the Summer Games return to the United States for the first time in 32 years. The International Olympic Committee will vote on the proposal at meetings in India that begin later this week. Also on the LA proposal were baseball and softball, which have been bouncing on and off the program for decades; lacrosse; squash; and cricket. Flag football involves 5-on-5 action in which players tackle their opponents by stripping flags off belts worn by all players. It is viewed as a less-violent, faster-paced version of the game that has captured imaginations in the U.S. for decades. On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Oct. 9 at 4 p.m. CT: JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel increased airstrikes on the Gaza Strip and sealed it off from food, fuel, and other supplies in retaliation for a bloody incursion by Hamas militants, as the war's death toll rose to nearly 1,600 on both sides. Hamas also escalated on Monday, pledging to kill captured Israelis if attacks targeted civilians without warnings. In the war's third day, Israel was still finding bodies from Hamas' stunning weekend attack into southern Israeli towns. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to destroy the militants' “military and governing capabilities.” The U.S. State Department said Monday that at least nine American citizens have been killed in the weekend Hamas attacks on Israel, raising the toll from four. BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union has reversed an earlier announcement that it was “immediately” suspending aid for Palestinian authorities and instead said it would urgently review such assistance in the wake of the attacks on Israel by Hamas. A terse European Commission statement said late Monday that “there will be no suspension of payments” at the moment. It came five hours after EU Commissioner Oliver Varhelyi had said that all payments from the development program for Palestinians be “immediately suspended. All projects put under review. All new budget proposals … postponed until further notice.” No immediate explanation for the reversal was given. STOCKHOLM (AP) — Claudia Goldin, a Harvard University professor, was awarded the Nobel economics prize for research that helps explain why women around the world are less likely than men to work and to earn less money when they do. Fittingly, the announcement marked a small step toward closing a gender gap among Nobel laureates in economics: Out of 93 economics winners, Goldin is just the third woman to be awarded the prize and the first woman to be the sole winner in any year. Her award follows Nobel honors this year in medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and peace that were announced last week. FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — How much is Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago worth? That's now a point of contention after a New York judge ruled that the former president exaggerated the Florida property's value when he said it is worth at least $420 million. In siding with New York in the state's lawsuit accusing Trump of grossly overvaluing his assets in business transactions, Judge Arthur Engoron found that Trump consistently exaggerated Mar-a-Lago's worth. He compared Trump's estimate to the Palm Beach County tax appraiser's recent valuations of about $20 million. But Palm Beach real estate agents strongly disagree. They think Mar-a-Lago would easily fetch hundreds of millions and a bidding war could push the price over a billion. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Robert F. Kennedy launched an independent run for the White House. Kennedy declared independence from the Democratic Party in Philadelphia on Monday. He spoke of a “rising tide of discontent” in the United States and said he wants to make a “new Declaration of Independence” from corporations, the media and the two major political parties. NEW YORK (AP) — Lexington Candy Shop has had a line outside for over a year since a TikTok of its Coke float went viral. The owner of Fatima's Grill parlayed his viral fame into an expansion. When a smaller restaurant unexpectedly goes viral on TikTok or other social media, the sudden demand can be overwhelming. Owners have to adapt on the fly, revamping operations to quickly serve a crush of people. But savvy business owners who are able to adapt can parlay newfound fame into a lasting boost for their business.

What's Burning

James Beard Award- winning Pastry Chef, Dominique Ansel has shaken up the pastry world with innovation and creativity at the heart of his work. Chef Dominique is responsible for creating some of the most fêted pastries in the world, including: the Cronut® (named one of TIME Magazine's “25 Best inventions of 2013”), The Cookie Shot, Frozen S'more, Blossoming Hot Chocolate, and many more. He is the Chef/Owner of eponymous bakeries in New York City and Hong Kong, and has been named the World's Best Pastry Chef by the World's 50 Best Restaurants awards. He is also the recipient of the Ordre du Mérite Agricole, France's second highest honor. Perhaps what has been most widely been reported on is Dominique's creation of the Cronut®, his signature croissant-doughnut hybrid pastry that first launched at his eponymous Bakery in New York in May 2013, soon becoming the world's first-ever viral pastry. Within hours, photos of the Cronut® spread across the social media sphere, and a single blog post about this brand new pastry was linked to over 140,000 times in just the first day. Within days, guests visited from all around the world to line up for blocks around the bakery, rain or shine. Taking two months and more than 10 different recipes to perfect, the Cronut® isn't simply croissant dough that's been fried. Made with laminated dough that has been likened to a croissant (but instead uses a proprietary recipe), it's first proofed then fried in grapeseed oil at a specific temperature. Once cooked, each Cronut® is 1. rolled in sugar; 2. filled with cream; and 3. topped with glaze. The entire process takes three days to complete. Today, Cronut® pastries are available only at Dominique Ansel Bakery in New York, with the flavor changing every month, never repeating. In its first year, TIME Magazine named the Cronut® one of the “25 Best Inventions of 2013,” and it has since appeared in the news across the world, from Good Morning America to the The Today Show, ABC's The Chew, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Live with Kelly & Michael, CNN's Piers Morgan Live with Anthony Bourdain, E! News, Bloomberg, and more. It has also been featured on TV shows like Modern Family, The Mindy Project, Jeopardy!, Two Broke Girls, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Gilmore Girls, and others. But before the Cronut®, a time that our very first guests refer to as B.C. (“Before Cronut®”), it all began years ago from humble beginnings. Growing up in a small town in France just north of Paris, Dominique never set out to become a chef. At the age of 16, he began working at a local restaurant in order to help support his family. There was a free culinary school in his hometown, so he enrolled in their apprenticeship program, first as a savory cook and then as a pastry cook. It was the precision and scientific nature of pastry that appealed to Dominique immediately, and from then on, he knew what he was meant to do. At age 19, Dominique went on to complete his military service in French Guyana in South America as part of a community program teaching locals how to cook. Upon returning to France, he used all of his savings to buy a beat-up car and drove to Paris, dropping off resumes at any bakery he could find. He later landed at the legendary French pastry shop, Fauchon, as one of 30 seasonal holiday workers. He was told only one employee would remain at the end of the season, and when the time came, he was the one they chose. Dominique stayed with Fauchon for nearly eight years, eventually leading international expansion, traveling the world opening new shops. In 2006, Dominique moved to New York City with just two suitcases to serve as the Executive Pastry Chef of Daniel Boulud's renowned restaurant Daniel. During his six years there, the restaurant earned its coveted third Michelin star and a four-star review from The New York Times. In November 2011, with a team of just four employees, Dominique opened Dominique Ansel Bakery on a quiet Soho street. Serving both sweet and savory items with pastries reigning supreme, the bakery became a neighborhood destination and was named Time Out New York's best bakery and Zagat's highest ranked bakery in the city. Signature creations like the DKA (Dominique's Kouign Amann) and made-to-order Madeleines quickly became guest favorites. It wasn't until May 2013 that a new creation Dominique deemed the Cronut® launched, putting this small Soho shop on the map worldwide. The Bakery became the birthplace of more new creations and internationally beloved inventions, from the Frozen S'mores to the Cookie Shot, Gingerbread Pinecone, Christmas Morning Cereal, Blossoming Hot Chocolate and more. In 2020, Dominique launched Dang Wen Li by Dominique Ansel in Hong Kong, featuring a capsule collection of brand new pastries created exclusively for Hong Kong, made-to-order specialties, and classic French viennoiserie. 2021 brought the launch of two new shops: a new location of Dang Wen Li by Dominique Ansel opened in June 2021 at H Queen's in the heart of Hong Kong's Central neighborhood. And in July 2021, Chef Dominique launched Dominique Ansel Workshop, a croissant counter inside of his Flatiron NYC kitchens, with a menu celebrating all things viennoiserie – from classics reimagined to old-school French recipes recreated with a modern twist. Coming up in Fall 2022, Chef Dominique will be opening his first shop in Las Vegas at Caesars Palace. Dominique Ansel Las Vegas will feature a number of his signature creations as well as a collection of brand new pastries made just for the city. Dominique published his first cookbook, DOMINIQUE ANSEL: The Secret Recipes (Simon & Schuster), in October 2014, featuring a number of signature recipes from his flagship Dominique Ansel Bakery in NYC. His second cookbook, Everyone Can Bake, debuted in April 2020, with his favorite go-to recipes for bases, fillings, and finishing so readers can mix-and- match and create endless possibilities of delicious desserts at home. Outside of the kitchen, Dominique is a dedicated supporter of various charitable organizations, including the fight to end hunger with Food Bank for New York City, City Harvest, and God's Love We Deliver. In the Cronut®'s first year alone, he helped to raise over $100,000 by auctioning off just 24 Cronut® pastries. On this episode, Dominique joins host Mitchell Davis and discusses the backstory and beyond the Cronut®, the importance of not giving up easily, and why it's best to work for people you believe in.

Flour is a quintessential pantry staple ingredient for both baking and cooking. There's more than just all-purpose flour, but also pastry flour, cake flour and bread flour. And to break it down even further, bleached and unbleached, white and whole-wheat — and the wide world of alterna-grain (non-wheat) flours. Flour is key to acclaimed French pastry chef Dominique Ansel, the man behind the beloved cronut ™, croissant-doughnut pastry, at his various namesake bakeries around the world. He shares his favorite flours and why you should use specific flours for certain recipes. He reveals the secret to why aging flour helps the gluten content and elasticity of the pastry.

Kraig Kalashian is the owner of KKAD, Pocono Modern, and Westmore Hotels and  Restaurants, which includes Pren Kitchen. After spending years playing in a band, Kraig realized he has a passion for solving problems and he discovered the best way to do that is through architecture, food and music. He's here to give a unique perspective on hospitality through a different lens. Listen to this week's episode as he shares #hospitality insights with Dan Ryan today! Takeaways:  Architecture isn't about how to make money, but rather how to solve problems. It's all about finding ways to fit everything you can imagine into a given space.  Hospitality is a feeling you get when you are taken care of. It's knowing that somebody is devoting 100% of their time and attention to you and making sure all your needs are met.  Today, travel and dining out are not the luxuries they were once considered to be, but that doesn't mean you don't need to do it well. Kaizen is the Japanese word for making small, incremental improvements over a period of time.  Acknowledging that a mistake has been made is something that is very important when it comes to life and business. It's important to listen to the staff and hear what their opinions are. They might have a great idea on where to better locate certain things to make their life easier (ie, making sure each floor has a linen closet). The Einstein approach is working on ideas for a long period of time, but sometimes the answer to each one arrives at the same time, making it seem like it was all done at once. Everybody gets the same 168 hours during the week. After sleeping and working, we are left with 50 hours of freetime. How you carve out that freetime is up to you, but you can use it to master your craft.  The backbone of hospitality is inclusivity. People from all walks of life are part of hospitality so finding ways to include them and making them feel wanted is the essence of the industry.  Quote of the Show:   3:37 “Hospitality is a feeling, it's the feeling like somebody is taking care of you. It's the feeling like somebody sees who you are and what you need and, and gives you that. For me, the best way that I could define it is just this feeling I used to get from going to my grandmother's house when I was a kid.  So if you asked what's hospitality, I would say it's, it's the way my grandmother treated me. Like when I was a kid, like when I would go to my grandmother's house, like she would just basically give me a hundred percent of her time and attention while I was there. She would always have things that were special for me. It was really like this feeling of being treated in the best way, like you would imagine royalty gets treated and somebody stopping, whatever they're doing to just make you feel at home or accommodated or, you know, just pay attention to what you need. And so I think that for me, the idea of hospitality is just thinking about other people and how to, and how to make them feel seen and how to make them feel taken care of.” Links:  Kraig's Profile: linkedin.com/in/kraig-kalashian-ra-ncarb-leed-ap-916b388 Company website: poconomodern.com  Personal website: kalashian.com  Shout Outs:  5:56 Dominique Ansel, creator of the Cronut 10:25 Independent Lodging Congress event in Brooklyn  10:29 David Rockwell 12:46 Danny Meyer 20:20 W Hotels 22:03 Blackberry Farm 24:46 John George 25:54 Hygge, Scandinavian Design  36:13 Libby Patrick 40:26 Amman 40:27 Four Season 40:29 Mandarin Oriential  49:13 Joe Rogan 49:14 Marc Maron 50:47 Game of Thrones 51:20 Target  51:26 Starbucks 58:54 DoubleTree Hilton Ways to Tune In:  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPX Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1s YouTube: https://youtu.be/BDd0WGhX8xY

Loh Yi Jun: “Experimentation is very natural. Having food evolve over the years is a very natural occurrence, and within all these experimental foods, there will be some that don't taste good – there will be some bastardized versions. But at the same time, there will be some really great, inventive dishes that drive the food industry forward as well. An example that comes to mind is Dominique Ansel's cronuts. Croissants and donuts, those are two things that you wouldn't think of putting together. When you first hear about the cronut, you'll think it's the bastardized version of a croissant and a donut, but when you actually taste it, it's really good and there are lessons you can learn there in terms of technique or inspiration, so it is a natural step in moving the food industry forward.”Loh, a food writer, content creator, and founder of Take a Bao podcast, chats about how he started on this journey of sharing about Asian food, plus: *What drives the work that he does* *What does it mean to preserve food culture?* *The role of experimentation in traditional dishes* *Motivation behind the Take a Bao podcast* *Balancing personal curiosity as a content creator and audience curiosity* *Shining a spotlight on the older generation and the challenges involved*

Surely one of our most Knausgaardian episodes yet - we spent four hours last Sunday afternoon - a rainy, unseasonably cold day in the mid-Atlantic - chatting with brilliant art critic and prolific croissant eater Dean Kissick. Manhattan traffic hummed outside of Dean's window, we took a yogurt break followed by a coffee break, there was a brief drama involving an overheated MacBook computer, and we of course witnessed Dean don and doff his Argyle sweater no less than three times (although we did not catch a glimpse of his supposed abs). This was the last episode recorded before we became boldface names in Vanity Fair so treasure it - we fully plan to go whole-hog on vacuous literary world prestige mongering in coming episodes! TECHNICAL NOTE: You will notice a whirring sound around one hour ten but it gets fixed after a few minutes (Dean cools off his computer) so if you're one of those audio freaks who always complains about sound quality just push through, or alternatively, get a life cheat sheet: 0:00 - A namecheck of the Dominique Ansel bakery (sponsor of the pod) somehow leads into a discussion of LinkedIn stalking and how LinkedIn is in fact the most Knausgaardian of the social networks. 19:15 - Dean, a hardcore strugglehead, recounts his initiation into the word of Knausgaard and explains how the books changed his life. We try to figure out what Knausgaard means by "form" (all literature "must submit to form"? but why does MS not seem to submit to anything) and meanwhile uncover a barnyard motif in this passage involving sheep, sheepdogs, ducks and more. Also: some inside baseball on the secret affinity between alt-lit and raw milk. 1:09:00 - We begin talking about what is probably the most important idea in the My Struggle series (or at least the first two books), a concept Knausgaard most often refers to as "longing" but is often associated or synonymous with "inexhaustibility," "boundlessness," "the unmentionable." What is the Longing? What does it have to do with death, with art, with basement jackoff parlors (of the sort so vividly detailed in this passage)? 1:24:00 - Touching off from Knausgaard's famous passage about the Constable sketch of the clouds, Dean brilliantly articulates Knausgaard's particular taste in art and explains why he thinks Knausgaard is one of the best art critics today. What does Knausgaard have that art criticism in general has lost? And what does his predilection for "naive" objective realist landscapes have to do with his own writing project? 2:06:00 - Dean takes us through what we believe to be the culmination of the passage, Knausgaard's meditation on discovery and exploration. The whole world has been "experienced" through representations, making it seem smaller, and thus enclosed, unenchanted, incestuous. How has the endless flood of images stunted art and literature? Is there anything left outside of the algorithm? Dean has some optimistic answers! 2:25:00 - We plan our upcoming live struggle session in Koreatown and Dean gives a glowing review of our upcoming t-shirts Thank you for listening!!

Featured Review: “Ottolenghi and the Cakes of Versailles”Via London, Versailles, and Instagram, Ottolenghi and the Cakes of Versailles follows famous chef Yotam Ottolenghi on his quest to bring the sumptuous art and decadence of Versailles to life in cake form at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. He assembles a team—a veritable who's who of the dessert world, including Dominique Ansel and Dinara Kasko—to help bring his vision to life. The pastry chefs create a true feast of Versailles complete with a cocktail whirlpool and posh jello shots, architectural mousse cakes, chocolate sculptures, swan pastries, and an edible garden.Throughout the film, Ottolenghi acts as a guide, disassembling pastries to give us the history of ingredients that we now take for granted, like sugar and chocolate. In conversations with experts, we also get an insight into life at Versailles, from the opulence of the Sun King to the downfall of Marie Antoinette, and including what went on in the kitchens. The film perfectly captures the heights of human achievement and the frailty of decadence, adding taste as one more sense with which to experience the Met.—Frederic BoyerDirector: Laura GabbertProduced by: Steve Robillard, Mohamed Al Rafi, Jeff Frey, Lauren DeutermanCast: Yotam Ottolenghi, Dominique Ansel, Ghaya Oliveira, Dinara Kasko, Sam Bompas, Janice WongCinematographer: Judy PhuRelease Date: April 15 , 2020 (Tribeca Film Festival)Runtime: 1 hour 15 minutesGenre: Documentary Visit the links below for additional information:YouTube.com/WeAreOnehttps://m.facebook.com/Tribeca/https://www.tribecafilm.com/festival/tribeca-talks-at-home See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

How, and why, does a military vet flying helicopters in the Middle East transition to owning an iconic diner in rural New England?If your town or neighborhood has a coffee shop, diner, or local hangout that everyone knows then you already know about Lou's. Sometimes a place like Lou's even becomes an institution - local movers and shakers couldn't make a deal without first having breakfast there, Dartmouth College students couldn't imagine spending four years in Hanover, NH and not going there, and local kids coming back to visit make sure they meet up there. But have you ever gone behind the scenes, talked to the person who owns the place, and spent some time to understand why he's chosen to be there? What his story is? Well, we did. Jarett Berke is the 4th owner of Lou's since its founding in 1947, and has a backstory you might not be expecting. Graduate of the Naval Academy and one of the top MBA programs in the world, a helicopter pilot flying ops all over Africa and the Middle East, and a young officer with responsibility for the lives of the men who served under him. On this episode of The Sydcast we talk to Jarett about his journey, and even manage to sample one of those amazing Lou's crullers that would even give Dominique Ansel a run for his money.

Bacon Wrapped Business With Brad Costanzo | Sizzling Hot Business Advice Guaranteed To Make You Fat...PROFITS!

Have you ever compared business strategy to surfing? Mike Michalowicz has. As author of the new book SURGE: Time the Marketplace, Ride the Wave of Consumer Demand, and Become Your Industry's Big Kahuna, Mike uses surfing as an analogy for business. So listen up and ride the waves with him on this episode of Bacon Wrapped Business. Be where people need you when they need you by identifying imminent trends. Surfers look at waves that are close, or imminent, and evaluate which one is the best. No one can surf the entire ocean all at once, so pick a cove (one segment of a trend) and decide which waves are best. SURGE stands for Separate, Unify, Rally cry, Gather and Expansion. Separate: Pick a “cove” to surf in. Zero in on one area to market and decide who you’re going to market to. Unify: Paddle in front of the “wave” so that it can help push you along and gain momentum. Rally cry: There’s a point when you’re riding a wave that the board lifts out of the water causing a transfer of energy from you paddling to the wave pushing you. In business, this is when the community starts carrying the wave, or market force, for you. Gather: Collect knowledge to constantly perfect your product. Expansion: When you first start surfing, you don’t do fancy tricks right off the bat. You have to start with the basics and expand from there. In business, once you get your product out in the general market, you can then target it to more specific markets like professional athletes, celebrities, or whatever high profile group is appropriate for your business, who can then promote your product even further for you. Tip Give your customers a short survey right after they buy your product. For example, ask where they heard about it and why they decided to purchase it at that moment. Brian Smith, the creator of UGG® boots, originally targeted his product at surfers (not teenage girls). When neoprene swimwear hit the market, it led to year-round surfing. That meant that surfers needed something to keep their feet warm when they got out of the water in colder weather. The interior material of the boots did not absorb bacteria or odor, and the above-ankle height kept beach sand from getting into the boots. The Rally Cry for UGG® was no more cold feet for surfers. The expansion began by targeting professional surfers who would increase popularity and demand for the product. Then other areas were targeted: hockey players, hunters, skiers, etc. which really expanded the market for these simple, cozy boots. Eventually, the trend reached teenage girls and now you can’t take two steps without seeing young women in UGG® boots. This change in demographic led to many people calling Brian Smith a sell-out, which begs an important, and mandatory, question: Are you willing to compromise the initial group/demographic that carried your product to success? The Cronut® is another widespread, high-demand product, but people often travel a long way to Dominique Ansel’s bakery in New York to get the true, original Cronut® and see its birthplace. Tip If starting and manufacturing a new product is too intimidating for you, you can start by improving an existing product and licensing it to a bigger company. When you are the first to target a new market, consumers will be more tolerant of any inferior elements of your business because you are their only option. Your marketing needs will start to decrease as everyone learns about you, but that is when you really need to improve and perfect your product so that you stay on top when others try to corner your market. Don’t let them steal your wave. If you know of any podcasts that need a guest, tell Mike Michalowicz. Get in touch with him and invite him on the show. Go to his site for information.

On this special episode of Chef’s Story, host Dorothy Cann Hamilton speaks with Dominique Ansel, executive pastry chef of the Dominique Ansel Bakery, and the maker of the world famous Cronut. Speaking about his history working as an apprentice at the age of 16, he explains how he left school and left no room for failure. After finishing his compulsory military service, he moved to Paris to work in the kitchen of Pâtisserie Peltier. Just a year later, Ansel made the move to the legendary bakery Fauchon. He spent seven years there working for Master Pastry Chef Christophe Adam, learning the delicate balance in flavors, textures, and aesthetics necessary to produce the bakery’s unique pastries. He later became responsible for Fauchon’s international expansion, helping set up shops in far-flung locations such as Russia, Egypt, and Kuwait. Next, Dominique rose to fame in New York City, where he served as the Executive Pastry Chef at Daniel under celebrity chef Daniel Boulud. During his six year tenure at Daniel, the restaurant won its first 3-star Michelin rating, a 4-star New York Times review, and James Beard’s Outstanding Restaurant of the Year Award in 2010. In November 2011, he moved on and became the chef and owner of Dominique Ansel Bakery in New York City. Despite being a newcomer to the pastry scene, it has already been awarded “Best New Bakery of 2012” by Time Out New York and “Best Bakery of 2012” by Metromix. In 2013, Chef Ansel received his own James Beard Award nomination as a finalist for Outstanding Pastry Chef at his eponymous bakery. Also known as the maker of the Cronut, a half croissant, half doughnut, this pastry hybrid continues to take the world by storm. Learn how Dominique was able to start his own bakery, and find the inspiration behind the makings of his pastries such as the Cronut! This program has been sponsored by Fairway Market. “It takes a lot of personal effort. Take the time to show what cooking is about by respecting the product.” [8:00] “Opening a bakery for me was a dream – I always told myself that someday, I would do something special for myself.” [30:10] “The Cronut was to challenge myself – I wanted to do a doughnut, but bring a French spirit to it.” [42:00] — Dominique Ansel on Chef’s Story
