Pat Cobe, senior menu editor of Restaurant Business, recently attended a milestone event for the town of Seguin, Texas: the debut of the first Applebee's-IHOP cobranded restaurant. With around 110 items, the menu is about as large of those of Applebee's and IHOP individually, featuring their greatest hits alongside collaborative mashups, like a Buffalo Chicken Omelet that Pat particularly enjoyed. Bret Thorn, senior food & beverage editor of Nation's Restaurant News and Restaurant Hospitality, remarked that, although Buffalo chicken is everywhere, and spicy breakfasts are now quite commonplace, this is the first Buffalo breakfast item he has seen.He and Pat also discussed menu items that debuted at other chains, including caviar service that is now available at Sullivan Steakhouse and sister brand Eddie Merlot's. At $110 it's a premium offering to say the least, but the co-hosts observed that if there weren't demand for it they wouldn't have added it to their menus.There were also some interesting new collaborations this week, most notably Taco Bell introducing Birthday Cake Churros developed in concert with the New York City-based pastry shop Milk Bar. A couple of doughnut chains also introduced collabs of different sorts. Duck Donuts rolled out Sonic the Hedgehog-themed treats in celebration of the debut of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 on streaming service Paramount+. Meanwhile, Krispy Kreme rolled out more broadly movie-themed items, such as a Caramel Popcorn doughnut and a Blue Raspberry Slush doughnut in partnership with Hulu, apparently encouraging people to snack on the movie theater concession-inspired treats while watching their favorite shows at home. Bret also interviewed Sarah Thompson, executive chef of Casa Playa, a coastal Mexican restaurant at the Wynn Las Vegas, who discussed her approach to procuring top-notch ingredients and elevated cuisine while also appealing to the many guests who just want tacos and queso fundido without a lot of fuss.

Who knew a simple idea to bake together virtually could turn into a thriving online community? When the pandemic hit, Christina Tosi, chef and founder of Milk Bar, and Shannon Salzano, Milk Bar's Brand Director, found themselves searching for a way to connect with people. Turning their cameras on, they invited others to join them in the kitchen, creating a space for comfort and connection amidst the uncertainty.

It quickly evolved, becoming a vibrant online community centered around sharing recipes and a heartfelt newsletter, delivered straight to inboxes like a warm hug.For Christina and Shannon, Bake Club is about more than just baking. "We're a business that shows up for people," Christina says on this episode of Be A Marketer, a podcast dedicated to helping small business owners like you make sense of online marketing. Join Christina, Shannon, and host  Dave Charest, Director of Small Business Success at Constant Contact, as they explore Bake Club's delicious journey, uncovering their secret ingredients to community building and the power of authentic connection.Tune in to discover how Bake Club leverages the power of email marketing to nurture genuine relationships, the importance of adapting to change, and their experience using Constant Contact to achieve marketing success.

Friends can help us get through life's toughest moments. But a true friend remembers to smile about the good times. That's why I wanted to revisit my conversation with the founder and CEO of Milk Bar, host of Netflix's Bake Squad, and author of several cookbooks including Dessert Can Save the World, my dear friend Christina Tosi.Christina is the type of friend I can trust with anything, someone I can cry with. Together we reflect on the art of asking for help and why sometimes all we need from a true friend is 8 minutes of their time.This...is A Bit of Optimism.For more on Christina and her work, check out: Milk Barher cookbook, Dessert Can Save the Worldand christinatosi.comFor more on the power of an 8-minute phone call, check out this New York Times article. ***By the way, I wanted to share Christina's recipe for making an Ice Cream Loaf. It's magic. You will need:2 cups (1 pint) of softened ice cream1 cup of self-rising flour1 eggPreheat oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan and set aside.In a large bowl, mix the melty ice cream, self-rising flour, and egg. Do not overmix.Pour the batter into loaf pan.Bake for 45 minutes or until toothpick clean. Enjoy.
