Podcasts about Legends Hospitality

Mike Morris is a seasoned technology leader whose impressive career has taken him from rigorous software engineering at EDS to consulting at PwC and transformative roles in sports technology. Mike notably served as the Chief Technology Officer at Major League Baseball, where he played a critical role in driving the analytics revolution, centralizing MLB systems, and launching MLB Advanced Media and MLB Network—two game-changing initiatives that revolutionized how sports content is consumed today. He also served as CIO at Legends Hospitality, navigating rapid growth and innovation in a fast-paced environment.

On this week's podcast, Pat Cobe, senior menu editor of Restaurant Business, and Bret Thorn, senior food & beverage editor of Nation's Restaurant News and Restaurant Hospitality, talk about the post-summer flurry of restaurant activity in New York City. Bret was treated to a pre-opening preview of Alessa, a new Italian restaurant where the chef created a menu spotlighting mushrooms in many sizes and shapes. His first bite was a white pizza topped with assorted mushrooms and lots of garlic, then he moved on to crab-stuffed cremini mushrooms and risotto with hen-of-the-woods and truffle butter. Mushrooms and fall are a perfect pairing, although the pistachio gelato for dessert was devoid of mushrooms. Bret also got to try a new Korean restaurant from Hand Hospitality called Odre, where the food is cooked in cast-iron pots. It's kind of a rustic style for what he thought was a refined tasting menu, but he thoroughly enjoyed all the different courses. That night, he sampled asparagus with cured shrimp in a pine nut sauce with grapefruit, squash pancakes, little pork dumplings with shiso leaf, and braised beef shank with shishito pepper and yes—mushrooms. The tasting menu is a reasonable $42 for dinner. Also on Bret's restaurant itinerary was the revamped Central Park Boathouse, a venue in the middle of NYC's Central Park that has long been known as a special occasion place. It was recently taken over by Legends Hospitality—the same company that does the food at Yankee Stadium—and there's a new chef-driven menu that makes it a great destination for lunch and dinner. David Pasternak, a chef known for his former seafood-focused restaurant Esca, is a consultant, so Bret tried some of the fish dishes, including a salmon crudo and swordfish. Pat was on vacation and was dining around in the South of France instead of New York City, but she did get a chance to interview Brad Hedeman and Mo Frechette of Zingerman's, the destination deli in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Brad and Mo both worked behind the counter and in the retail section of the famous deli, but now head up Zingerman's thriving mail-order business. They talk about how they travel the world to meet farmers and producers and procure the specialty foods that have built Zingerman's reputation. Service and hospitality are built into Zingerman's DNA, and Brad and Mo share how they extend that to online customers that they never interact with face-to-face. People in any part of the restaurant industry can learn a lot from their many years of combined experience and fascinating stories. Give a listen.

As the Minnesota Vikings transition to a new football stadium in 2016, the goal is to seek out every potential qualified lead in order to continually grow the customer base. Rich Wang serves as an associate director for the NFL team's analytics and fan engagement, having worked at several teams, such as Madison Square Garden, The San Francisco 49ers, Legends Hospitality and the Minnesota Timberwolves prior to his tenure at the Vikings. For Wang, the goal is to develop a better resource to understand who each sales person is talking to, and how to ensure that any effort put forth is a quality one leading to a rapid-growth sales initiative. Wang discusses the challenges of implementing such a system, as well as educating sales staff on the opportunities that lie ahead by building an analytics warehouse of customer knowledge.
