What if Anthony Michael Hall wasn't the face of 1980s teen angst? What if instead of starring in The Breakfast Club, he was flipping omelets at a diner or selling insurance in suburban Chicago? This week on Celebrity Jobber with Jeff Zito, we dive into the alternate reality of one of the most recognizable faces from John Hughes’ iconic coming-of-age films. Anthony Michael Hall — the original “geek” who made awkward cool — joins Jeff to talk about what could have been if Hollywood hadn’t come calling. Hall shot to fame with a string of unforgettable roles in Sixteen Candles, Weird Science, and The Breakfast Club, becoming the go-to actor for every lovable outsider in 80s cinema. But he wasn’t just a teen dream. He broke molds again by becoming the youngest cast member ever on Saturday Night Live at just 17 years old — a bold move that showed his comedic range and fearless ambition. Over the years, Hall has shed the high school persona and proven his versatility in serious roles — from the gritty The Dead Zone to portraying Whitey Ford in 61 and even embodying a cold-hearted villain in The Dark Knight. But despite the evolution, one question remains: What job would Anthony Michael Hall be doing today if he never got that lucky break? Many stars have walked a thin line between fame and flipping burgers. Remember Kanye West’s stint at The Gap? Or Brad Pitt sweating it out in a chicken suit for El Pollo Loco? Hall might’ve ended up a music producer, a writer, or even a motivational speaker — but one thing’s for sure: he never saw himself as just a jobber.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss Alicia's time at Taco Bell's Live Mas Live event in New York City, where company leaders announced that they would double their menu rollouts in 2025. Sam and Alicia discuss the rarefied air that Taco Bell occupies, where it's built a cult-like following among younger consumers and can continue to leverage new menu items to build incredible momentum. They also talk about four companies that reported sales results this week: three that turned in a positive performance (Cracker Barrel, Potbelly, El Pollo Loco) and one that did not (Dine Brands). And they tackle Alicia's recent story on all of the chains that are cutting SKUs from their kitchens, including Starbucks, Papa Johns, and Einstein Bros. In this week's extra serving, senior editor Ron Ruggless joins to talk about Wendy's announcement that it planned to add another 1,000 locations, targeting international growth in particular while also appealing to more young and Hispanic consumers. Finally, we share an interview between managing editor Leigh Anne Zinsmeister and Pizza Guys president and CEO Shapour Nejad. For more on these stories: Taco Bell is doubling the pace of its menu innovations this yearSeveral restaurant chains are reducing the size of their pantriesCracker Barrel's comeback continues as same-store sales grow 4.7%Wendy's expects to grow to more than 8,000 units by 2028

The ad that has everyone saying, "whoa."Lyle Yetman | Co-CCOThe best thing that ever happened to Lyle's advertising career was not getting hired as an account person at BBDO. He would have sucked at that. Instead, he became a writer. After getting his master's at the VCU Brandcenter, Lyle left his Boston roots, moved out west, and started his career at BSSP, where he worked on MINI, Chipotle, and El Pollo Loco, created the Priceline Negotiator and made award-winning spots for Google, among others. His work has been recognized by the One Show, Cannes Lions, Clios, Art Directors Club, Communication Arts, and the Effies. At McKinney, he is Co-Chief Creative Officer, overseeing all the work from the Durham and New York offices, including Little Caesars, Puma, Popeyes, and ESPN, where he continues to do award-winning work. He's got a deep and abiding love of telling stories and finding the untapped potential in every brand. After 19 years in the business, he could probably hack it as an account person now. No, he couldn't. That's a lie.Kerry O'Connor | Group Strategy DirectorKerry started her career working in communications for the Navy in Washington, D.C., before deciding to pursue a career in advertising. She attended the VCU Brandcenter where she graduated with an MS in business and a concentration in branding and strategy. Kerry joined McKinney in 2015 and honed her passion for insights on brands like CarMax, Jared, and ESPN. She was promoted to strategy director in 2021 and is creating award-winning work using her strategy smarts on Sherwin-Williams and Little Caesars. Outside of advertising, Kerry is working her way through the NYTimes Cooking archives.

Valentine's Day is fast approaching and many restaurants are offering the usual romantic dinners for two. But this year, even coffee cafes and smoothie bowl concepts are spreading the love with specials themed to the holiday. Pat and Bret chat about the trend, and how restaurants are not just targeting couples anymore. An OpenTable survey found that groups and singles are increasingly dining out on or before Valentine's Day. So candy-topped milkshakes, strawberry lattes and heart-shaped doughnuts make perfect sense.  Valentine's Day and Super Bowl vie for attention every February, with heart-shaped pizzas and chicken wings competing on menus. Speaking of wings, Bret came across a couple of new sauces recently. El Pollo Loco introduced its first new flavor in almost a decade—mango habanero. The sauce taps into the sweet-heat trend that we've been seeing a lot of lately. And WNBA star Angel Reese partnered with McDonald's on a new smoky barbecue sauce. It's flavoring a quarter-pounder rather than chicken, and this is the first time the burger giant is collaborating with a female athlete.  Our guest this week is Chris Smith, CEO of Zunzi's and Zunzibar based in Savannah, Georgia. Zunzi's started as a hole-in-the-wall sandwich shop and now has multiple locations in Georgia and South Carolina and is expanding to Florida. Zunzibar has a topnotch mixology program but manages to project a relaxed, tropical vibe—a formula that has proven to be a winning combination.  Listen as Smith talks about how he's built a team culture that's as unique as these two concepts. 

 My guest this week is Andy Rebhun. Andy joined as Chief Experience Officer in 2023. From 2019 to 2023, he held several senior leadership positions at El Pollo Loco, including Chief Marketing Officer and Vice President of Digital. Prior to that, he served in various marketing and digital leadership roles at McDonald's Corporation in Boston, Chicago, and Atlanta. Andy began his career in the Accelerated Marketing Development Program at Ford Motor Company. He holds a B.A. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.

Nota: Este episodio es del 2022 Francisco Ochoa, mejor conocido como Don Pancho, es fundador y dueño de “El pollo loco”, una de las cadenas de restaurantes de comida rápida mexicana más exitosa de LATAM. Además, hace algunos años abrió otras dos empresas: Taco Palenque y Palenque Grill. El negocio de Don Pancho tiene cerca de 50 años funcionando y creciendo continuamente. A tan solo 5 años de su fundación, abrieron una sucursal en Los Ángeles California, y desde entonces tienen en México más de 50 sucursales, 600 distribuidas en Estados Unidos, Malasia, Filipinas, Japón, Singapur y Sudamérica. El reconocimiento de Don Pancho Ochoa es tan grande que tiene su placa en el Paseo de la Fama de Las Vegas, Nevada, y hasta Elon Musk ya probó su comida. Así de popular es su negocio.

This week on the Extra Serving podcast, a product of Nation's Restaurant News, NRN editors Holly Petre, Sam Oches, and Leigh Anne Zinsmeister continued to speak about this quarter's earnings.Since the editors last gathered for the pod, several companies have reported, including Bloomin' Brands, El Pollo Loco, and Texas Roadhouse.The editors mentioned Texas Roadhouse last week, anticipating the brand's positive returns, and that's exactly what was reported. The chain saw 4% traffic growth, slightly less than at Chipotle, and same-store sales growth of almost 8% across the system.Much like KFC, Wendy's is looking to its international market for help during this rough financial time.Meanwhile, Shake Shack and El Pollo Loco are investing heavily in kiosks and seeing returns.And much like the editors talked about last week, speed of service is key for many brands, and that includes family-dining chains. First Watch is now investing in technology to speed up service time for customers.This week, there are three interviews from the Restaurant Leadership Conference, with executives from Dave's Hot Chicken, Newk's Eatery, and Union Square Hospitality Group.

This week, on the Extra Serving podcast, NRN editors Holly Petre, Sam Oches, Leigh Anne Zinsmeister, and Alicia Kelso continued their discussion of earnings season.After the barrage of earnings last week, this week seems calm in comparison, but the NRN editors saw several interesting chains report and are starting to get more color on the season as a whole.Traffic remains a big throughline of earnings season, and this week we saw CAVA buck all trends and post 7.8% increases in traffic while maintaining profitability.On the other hand, Sweetgreen is yet to become a profitable company several years after it debuted on the stock market.At some brands, name recognition is the number one priority. Dutch Bros is aiming to become a household name by quintupling its unit count over the next few years, and El Pollo Loco is trying to be a national brand again.The NRN editors also talked about Shake Shack, The Cheesecake Factory, Noodles & Company, Bloomin' Brands, and RBI. As Alicia Kelso says, stay tuned.This week's interview is Blaze Pizza CEO Beto Guajardo.

Sweetgreen wants to open at least seven more automated restaurants next year.  Larry Roberts is stepping down as president and CEO of El Pollo Loco. And Wendy's is convincing franchisees to build new units.

Teens love chicken. Post Malone designs another Raising Cane's. And the tale of El Pollo Loco shows how tough the M&A market has been

When you think about the evolution of the fast-casual restaurant industry, digital innovation might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But for those of us tuned into the latest episode of Fast Casual Nation, digital marketing's role in revolutionizing the customer experience became crystal clear.We had the pleasure of sitting down with Gabe Alonso, Vice President of Digital Marketing at El Pollo Loco. Gabe's 15+ years of experience across music, entertainment, apparel, and food and beverage gives him a unique perspective. Having led digital strategies for giants like PepsiCo, Activision, and Nike, Gabe's dynamic career journey has now brought him to El Pollo Loco.The allure of the food sector for Gabe? A chance to intimately connect with the Hispanic culture. Though El Pollo Loco finds its roots in Mexican heritage and Gabe is of Cuban descent, the essence of food and familial bonds remains a shared thread. Gabe keenly observes the rising influence of Latino culture in mainstream media, echoing the successes of artists like Bad Bunny and Karol G. His ambition: position El Pollo Loco to ride this cultural wave.But the episode didn't stop there. A major focal point was the transformation of El Pollo Loco's loyalty program. Gabe unveiled a shift from a simple point-based system to a tiered, gamified structure. Every dollar spent earns the customer 100 points, with the flexibility to redeem rewards across varying tiers. The introduction of multipliers as you climb the ranks? Simply genius. It's an engaging method to keep customers coming back, making them feel a part of the El Pollo Loco "Familia."One intriguing takeaway was Gabe's approach to influencer partnerships. It isn't just about roping in food bloggers. El Pollo Loco's collaborations span artists, dancers, and family influencers, ensuring the brand's core values of flavor, family, culture, and craft resonate across a wider audience.Drawing from his time at Nike, Gabe stressed the necessity of centering the consumer in marketing strategies. The future, as he sees it, is in tech-driven restaurants with a strong emphasis on labor efficiencies. With machine learning to predict customer preferences and AI tailoring offers, El Pollo Loco is well on its path to shaping the future of fast-casual dining.In essence, if you're in the restaurant and foodservice industry don't miss this episode, filled with a treasure trove of insights. We've seen the future of fast-casual dining, and with forward-thinkers like Gabe Alonso at the helm, the future of fast-casual dining promises to be vibrant, tech-savvy, and innovative.

This week we are honored to have Alex Estrada who owns and operates Pale Moon Ranch studio with us at The Musicians Guild. Alex is an engineer, producer and musician. He has made recordings for bands such as Joyce Manor, Touché Amoré, NAILS, and Xibalba among many others. Alex is also a legit vegan cook and walks the talk as he is a strong reference point for great plant based recipes and meals. Alex approaches his musical work and living style with a thoughtfulness and intent that I find carries an energy in a strong and great way; both seriously and with a sense of humor. We talk about Alex growing up with his father being a well known mariachi leading Mariachi Sol De Mexico, how bands can rehearse better, helping music scenes thrive on both a large and small scale, his vegan version of El Pollo Loco, tending to a rural property, excessive mix revisions from bands, preferred approaches to making records and lots more.

Tots are inching up on menus. McDonald's layoffs are expected to be in the thousands. And El Pollo Loco is revamping its loyalty program.

I got in a car accident where I got rear ended, wasn't injured and the insurers agreed that I was not at fault. This is a blender episode, with lots of little segments that all go in there. Blender Episode This episode contains lots of different segments, all going into the blender like fruit goes into the smoothie.. Stay tuned for lurid stories of rampaging young adults and their dangerous car accidents, but let's start our blender episode back in the 1990s at Jamba Juice. Juicy Tale Do you go to Jamba Juice? My first thought was that I went there in the nineties, and that I don't go there anymore. Kind of like Noah's Bagels, I feel like Jamba Juice belongs to the 90s the way Orange Julius belongs to the 80s But I go there all the time because like El Pollo Loco, you can trust it, if you don't trust anything, Jamba juice will feed me I get the peanut butter smoothie Jamba Juice was originally called juice club Began in San luis obispo in 1990 It was renamed in 1995. In 1995, founder Kirk Perron swapped out Juice Club for Jamba Juice, which is a play on the African word, jama, which means "to celebrate." Music & Culture Festival Like Carijama, the dormant Caribbean music and culture festival in Oakland's Mosswood Park Ended in violence every year 2001-4 after existing since 86 Making The Scends  I have been using lent as an excuse to go to the fried fish place in San Leandro on 14th street Scends Crate Digging Expedition  Visited Stacks Records, a used record store in Hayward Session In Paris Masahiko Togashi was a jazz drummer who sustained a spinal injury in 1970. After his injury, Togashi had a custom drum set adapted so he could play drums using only his hands At Stacks, I found a copy of 1979s Togashi / Cherry / Haden "Session in Paris - Song of Soil" with a picture of Togashi in his wheelchair on the back, something I haven't seen very often on a record, so I bought it right away. If you're looking for a copy, they're on Bandcamp Pole Cane Stick Got a new walking stick made of carbon fiber, the old one was aluminum. The weight difference is like picking up a twig vs. blade of grass Creative Destruction I was on vacation in Palm Springs, Calif., on Nov. 7, 2021, when I awoke with the cacophony of a dozen dial-up modems blaring inside my head. Confused and alarmed, I called out to a friend staying in the room next door and could hardly hear my own voice. When he responded, I heard almost nothing at all. The reason for my sudden hearing loss and the persistent ringing in my ears wasn't immediately obvious, to me or to the emergency room doctor who examined me that morning. I hadn't stood too close to the speaker at a concert or hit my head in some traumatic accident. I simply had gone to sleep with my hearing intact and, come morning, it was gone. My life since that day has been difficult to describe, though the words I return to most often are “disorienting” and “humbling.” I spent months shuffling from one medical specialist to the next for a battery of tests and treatments. I eventually started wearing hearing aids and learning American Sign Language. And, perhaps most challenging of all, I confronted a new identity — disabled — that often leaves me feeling vulnerable. At first, I also felt very alone. No one hands you a guidebook when one of the fundamental senses on which you innately rely is revoked without warning. Even the most attentive physicians are primed to focus on your physical symptoms, not the upheaval that a sudden impairment brings to your personal and professional life, nor the erosion it causes to your sense of self.

Long before Jerry Richardson rose to prominence as owner of the Carolina Panthers football team, he'd distinguished himself as a pioneer of the fast-food restaurant business. He not only developed much of the Hardee's burger chain as a franchisee in the 1960s and '70s, but would go on to oversee such brands as Denny's, El Pollo Loco and Quincy's. By the time he retired in 1995, he was responsible for more than 2, 500 restaurants. Richardson died earlier this month at age 86. His connection to the restaurant industry had been minimal for nearly the prior two decades, but his mark on the business is indelible. Join me on this week's episode of the Restaurant Rewind podcast as we review the career of an early industry star who found fame before and after on the gridiron.

It is still tax season so we are still at one episode a week but this is a good one, a date story involving the fancy El Pollo Loco and plenty of other terrible stories from the entire Heather Whatever crew's past.

Zoey Deutch and Rob Lowe are behind the mic and talking about all things performance. On today's episode, you'll hear how auditioning for roles in the 80s differs from auditioning today, what prompted Zoey to become a producer, and how to cope as an actor when you don't get the part you want. Got a question for Rob? Call our voicemail at (323) 570-4551. Yours could get featured on the show!

El Pollo may be Loco, but this week's special guest for The Raw Ingredients is far from Loco in her dedication and drive to continue to develop new ideas and opportunities within the food industry - it's Heather Gardea, Vice President of Research and Development for El Pollo Loco.   Heather, a fellow CIA alumna, and Chef Pete have a free-ranging, wide-spanning conversation about the food industry at large and the many different ways people can be a part of that ever-expanding economic driver. Whether its farm to table, production, distribution, food science and technology, sustainability ... the industry of eating is as expansive as the waists of those of us who help fuel that industry. Heather provides a great perspective of what the industry as a whole looks like and she and Chef Pete will show you that working in the culinary arts is a lot more than just making and serving food.   So, grab a plate and dig in to this week's episode of The Raw Ingredients - we always leave you hungry for more.   https://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-gardea-6a491010/

Además, hace algunos años abrió otras dos empresas: Taco Palenque y Palenque Grill. El negocio de Don Pancho tiene cerca de 50 años funcionando y creciendo continuamente. A tan solo 5 años de su fundación, abrieron una sucursal en Los Ángeles California, y desde entonces tienen en México más de 50 sucursales, 600 distribuidas en Estados Unidos, Malasia, Filipinas, Japón, Singapur y Sudamérica. El reconocimiento de Don Pancho Ochoa es tan grande que tiene su placa en el Paseo de la Fama de Las Vegas, Nevada, y hasta Elon Musk ya probó su comida. Así de popular es su negocio. Algunos de los temas que platicamos fueron:

C and R dive into the 2nd biggest upset in Kentucky Derby history.. would Rich have put money down on Rich Strike, just because of his first name? The crew discuss a decline in social skills in our country, with examples from El Pollo Loco and the movie theater. That becomes a topic on the show, as well as Covino's recent comments on In-N-Out Burger being "over-rated." The West Coast crew pushes back and the studio lines light up! NY pizza? Derek Jeter? Beyonce? Draymond Green? Plus, the fellas talk FIGHTS (Canelo loss), the number of MLB teams that are off to hot starts and we find out that Covino is a ROCKING DUDE!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
