On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including the origin of the cyclosporiasis outbreak, the troubling rise in bankruptcies and closures, and a wave of new marketing campaigns aimed at winning back customers. They start with some explosive news related to the recent outbreak of cyclosporiasis: Investigators believe the origin of the outbreak was Taylor Farms in Michigan, and specifically iceberg lettuce provided to Taco Bell and potentially other restaurants. The news led to Taco Bell removing lettuce from the menu in select states. The duo breaks down what cyclospora is, how these outbreaks happen in the supply chain, and what this means for both Taylor Farms and Taco Bell as they work to contain the situation and restore consumer confidence. They discuss the broader implications for restaurant food safety protocols and how quickly brands need to respond when these incidents occur.Next, they tackle a sobering trend that's been accelerating in recent months: the increasing number of restaurant bankruptcies and store closures across the industry. From legacy chains to newer concepts, more brands are filing for bankruptcy protection or announcing significant unit reductions. Sam and Alicia explore the root causes behind this wave of financial distress, including persistent traffic challenges, rising operational costs, and overleveraged balance sheets.On a more optimistic note, Sam and Alicia then shift their attention to marketing, highlighting new campaigns from several major players including Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, and Olive Garden. Each brand is taking a different approach to cut through the noise and reconnect with consumers — whether through nostalgia, value messaging, product innovation, or experiential activations. The duo analyzes what's working, what's not, and which campaigns have the best chance of actually driving traffic and sales in an environment where consumers are increasingly selective about where they spend their dining dollars.They close out with a Quick Fire round covering the latest industry headlines — including Texas Roadhouse's delivery test, Papa Murphy's closure of 50 stores, and Chipotle's first location in Mexico — before turning things over to senior food and beverage editor Bret Thorn, who interviews Shake Shack's senior director of culinary innovation, Nick Wuest.For more on these stories:Taylor Farms lettuce supplied to Taco Bell linked to cyclosporia outbreakAnother big Hardee's franchisee declares bankruptcyPanera's Unlimited Sip Club will no longer be unlimited
In Episode 325 of The Kash and Dash Show: Unscripted, Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner are joined by Denlis Bertrand for a conversation that goes in nearly every possible direction.Denlis breaks down the World Cup, controversial calls, passionate soccer fans, and what it has been like watching the United States, Canada, and Mexico host the tournament.Owen shares the awkward reality of filming scripted marketing videos, using a teleprompter for the first time, doing take after take, and realizing that content creators are usually their own harshest critics.He also reveals that he is officially buying a home in a golf-course community. The new house sits near the 13th hole, which naturally leads to questions about golf carts, neighborhood rules, future pool plans, and whether Owen will ever get any actual work done.Ted then brings up a real estate opportunity that Owen may be interested in buying. The two discuss touring the property, reviewing the numbers, and possibly negotiating the deal on a future episode.The conversation also covers Omaha REIA updates, anniversary projects, golf outings, customized golf carts, outdoor cooking, pancake-eating competitions, Pizza Hut challenges, Trinidadian doubles, and the correct way to eat pancakes.Have a real estate question, personal question, or topic you want Ted and Owen to discuss?

“Retro food” can mean different things to different people. For today's kids, it's the Jell-O Pudding Pops and vintage Pizza Huts of their parents' childhood. For Bobby Hicks, retro means tuna noodle casserole, chicken Kiev and gelatin rainbow cake—the food of his parents' and grandparents' heyday.But retro recipes are more than a list of ingredients. They're a feeling. During the pandemic, Hicks shared this nostalgia with a growing number of social media followers who watched him make these sentimental dishes, providing a much-needed sense of comfort.And now he's captured that feeling in a new cookbook. It's called Retro Recipes: Vintage Dishes with a Modern Twist. We caught up with Hicks, who grew up on a farm in Central Florida and now lives in South Florida. In this conversation, the content creator and self-taught private chef discusses how to modernize retro meals for the 21st century, staples of a vintage kitchen and which recipes should stay in the past.Want to hear more from Bobby? Catch him in conversation with Dalia at Tombolo Books in St. Petersburg on June 30. Get event details here.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Yum! Brands' sale of Pizza Hut, Jersey Mike's overtaking of Chick-fil-A in a major consumer sentiment study, and KFC's announcement that it was entering a new chapter for growth. First up is Pizza Hut, which was officially sold by Yum! Brands in two transactions totaling $2.7 billion. Sam and Alicia discuss the potential future of the brand, and particularly its U.S. business, which was acquired by relatively new private equity firm LongRange Capital. Can Pizza Hut reclaim the loyalty of fans who are nostalgic for its Classic model? Next up they talk about the most recent American Consumer Satisfaction Index, in which Jersey Mike's came out on top — after 11 years of Chick-fil-A taking the crown. Should Chick-fil-A be worried? Sam and Alicia break down the study and why the data matters (to a point). They then transition to KFC, which announced a new “chapter” in which the company would focus on menu innovation, refreshed branding, and modernized stores. Alicia breaks down all the components of this new chapter, and she and Sam talk about how KFC is well positioned to learn from its global stores here in the U.S. They shift their attention to the increase in store closures — On the Border, for example, is now down to only 6 units — before closing with a Quick Fire round in which they cover Panera Bread's new bowls and McDonald's (brief) reintroduction of its beloved Apple Pie.

What happens when The Rizzuto Show leaves the safety of the studio and heads into a parking lot? Absolute chaos… for a really good cause.In Episode 158, the gang broadcasts live from Operation Food Search's Fill-A-Truck event and immediately turns a community food drive into what definitely isn't a competition.

Rafe conducts unofficial food inspections, discovers Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix among the donations, and decides the kids receiving Monster Energy drinks are about to have the most exciting afternoon ever.Then the unthinkable happens: the truck fills up way ahead of schedule. Because Rizz Show listeners don't do things halfway, the team immediately moves on to filling additional vans with donations for Operation Food Search.As if all of that wasn't enough, there are giveaways, parking-lot trivia contests, questionable science questions, Abraham Lincoln appearances, mitochondria discussions, and a lot of yelling about obtuse angles.This episode is everything you expect from a daily comedy show: community spirit, sarcastic humor, weird conversations, and the kind of random moments that somehow make perfect sense on The Rizzuto Show.Whether you're here for the funny stories, the community giving, the donut emergencies, or just to hear grown adults argue about canned goods, this daily comedy show delivers another wonderfully ridiculous morning.Thanks for supporting Operation Food Search and for proving once again that listeners of this daily comedy show will show up, show out, and probably bring snacks.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Gilmans Pointe was planned to have 199 apartment units with rents ranging from $2,100 to $2,700.

Conway Jr Show Hour 2 (6.16) In this episode, we’re cracking open a wild mix of neighborhood drama, fast-food shakeups, safety reminders, and viral pop-culture chaos. First, residents in an Encino neighborhood say they are fed up with suspicious activity at a nearby home they believe may be used by influencers and content creators filming for OnlyFans. Neighbors claim they have seen scantily clad women in the front yard, litter in the streets, and alcohol cans left behind — including BuzzBallz, the viral ready-to-drink cocktails packing 15% alcohol with flavors like Lotta Colada. Then it’s time for our Fast-Food Update. KFC is rolling out a massive global revamp with a focus on boneless chicken, more than 20 new sauces, next-generation restaurant designs, and a modernized Colonel Sanders logo. The famous red chicken buckets are getting a fresh new look as KFC tries to bring chicken closer to its chicken-loving peers. We also talk about a simple but serious safety reminder: stop wearing all black when walking around after sunset. It may look cool, but it can be extremely dangerous for drivers trying to see pedestrians at night. Next, we break down the big Pizza Hut business shakeup, with reports of Yum! Brands selling Pizza Hut in major transactions. As restaurant prices keep climbing, one thing is clear: pizza is not as affordable as it used to be. And finally, why are kids between 10 and 20 being called the “Lime Generation”? Gen Z and Gen Alpha are colliding with memes, viral aesthetics, Skittles colors, and internet culture. Plus, the Knicks are dominating the tattoo space as emotional fans turn big sports moments into permanent ink.

Tune in here to this Tuesdays edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about political unrest and extremist activity and how individuals can be influenced by groups he describes as disruptive or dangerous. He expands the discussion into a broader commentary on social dynamics, arguing that people he calls “cool bad boys” use charisma and rebellion to attract followers who may not fully understand the consequences of their involvement. Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about public safety concerns at major events, World Cup excitement, geopolitical deal transparency, and nostalgia around the Pizza Hut sale and shifting media landscape. Bo also shares what Kimberly Owens and a Charlotte city council discussion on the interim mayor election have coming up tomorrow on Good Morning BT. T Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show! For more from Brett Winterble check out his YouTube channel.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's Headlines: Trump had a rough weekend legally — a federal judge blocked the Traitor Fund in response to a lawsuit from a fired January 6th prosecutor, and another judge ordered Trump's name removed from the Kennedy Center within two weeks on the grounds that he never had legal authority to put it there. Trump responded by posting he has "no interest" in the Kennedy Center anymore and threatening to cancel his own America 250 celebration, which is already in freefall after nearly every performer dropped out once they realized it was Trump's birthday rally and not the legitimate congressional celebration — leaving Vanilla Ice, Kid Rock, and eventually Trump himself as the headline act for anyone who paid $1.5 million for a VIP package expecting a concert. On the Iran beat, Trump is requesting edits to the deal his own negotiators already agreed to, with a senior official explaining the response will take three days because…caves. The Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark escalated to a mandatory curfew for the surrounding half-mile, with ICE in riot gear pepper spraying protesters while detainees continue a 10-day hunger strike over conditions that remain uncorrected. Pam Bondi's Epstein testimony was exactly as useless as expected — she blamed Todd Blanche, refused to answer Trump-related questions, and wasn't under oath — so the House Oversight Committee is now going after Blanche directly. In AI-is-a-scam news, a Pizza Hut franchisee is suing corporate for $100 million after a mandatory AI rollout tanked delivery times, and Starbucks scrapped its AI inventory system after nine months because it could not count milk — hallucinating bottles that weren't there — which is a real thing that happened with technology that costs more than a person with eyes. And finally, a three-foot meteorite may have landed in Cape Cod Bay on Saturday, with a double boom heard from Delaware to Montreal, which would normally be bigger news if we had any remaining capacity for surprise.

The crew debates whether Monday or Friday should disappear forever in the glorious future of shorter work weeks, and Lern admits she's somehow become more productive working fewer days. Which feels fake, but apparently science backs it up. Meanwhile, Rizz shares the emotional rollercoaster of his son's surprise birthday party after the poor kid spent all day convinced nobody loved him. Nothing says “family bonding” like emotional manipulation followed by chocolate cake.Then comes the story that absolutely broke the internet: a Florida woman gets pulled over for texting while driving… except the officer claims she was holding the phone in her RIGHT HAND. Tiny issue there: she doesn't have a right hand. The bodycam footage somehow gets even more awkward as the cop doubles down harder than a guy trying to explain crypto at Buffalo Wild Wings. The gang breaks down the absurdity of the situation, internet reactions, and why this may be the greatest accidental self-own in police bodycam history.Also: Rafe casually reveals somebody once touched tips in the woods during Little League and honestly the show never emotionally recovers from there.This episode has everything:Florida chaos. Bathroom sociology. Relationship oversharing. Burger recommendations. Dong science. Emotional support vehicles. And enough sarcastic nonsense to legally qualify as group therapy.Hell, Michigan is officially for sale. That's right — for the low, low price of $625,000, you too can own seven acres of pure Midwestern chaos complete with a wedding chapel, mini golf, souvenir shop, and an ice cream stand called “The Crematory.” Because apparently somebody looked at a normal small-town business plan and said, “Needs more eternal damnation.”The gang debates whether Hell is secretly a genius investment opportunity, whether Lern should become mayor of Hell, and how long before somebody turns the whole thing into a TikTok influencer commune with haunted goat yoga and craft IPA flights called “Satan's Hazy Delight.”Lern unveils her absolutely unhinged patriotic remix promoting America's 250th birthday celebration featuring CNC Music Factory, Vanilla Ice, Flo Rida, Milli Vanilli, and enough early-90s energy drinks to restart the economy. Honestly, if this lineup doesn't scream “government-funded county fair energy,” nothing does. A Portland mom grabs a stick and chases an intruder out of her house after hearing threats against her family. Naturally, this immediately turns into a debate about whether “crazy meets crazy” is actually a legitimate life strategy… which, according to Lern, it absolutely is. Honestly? She may have a point. Or she may just want an excuse to scream at strangers in Target. Jury's still out.Then the gang discovers the existence of chess boxing — yes, actual boxing mixed with speed chess — proving once again that humans were never meant to have free time. Imagine trying to remember your opening strategy immediately after getting punched in the face by a guy named Vlad who definitely owns fingerless gloves. St. Louis might officially be the perfect city for this nonsense considering we've got boxing history AND the Chess Hall of Fame. We're basically one monocle away from hosting the national championships.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Woman With No Right Hand Was Ticketed for Using Phone with Her Right Hand — Now She's Speaking Out After the Citation Was DismissedThe Big Little Penis PanicI Asked 5 Chefs for the Worst Day To Dine Out—and Now I'll Always Avoid This OneThese St. Louis area Pizza Huts set to bring back 80s/90s retro vibesAdam Sandler has the internet split with 'embarrassing' look at wife's movie premiere‘Meet crazy with crazy': Mom chases home intruder away with stickChess boxing is the hybrid bloodsport taking NYC by storm: ‘Real punches to the face, no gimmicks about it'Florida man sues Carnival Cruise for $5M, claims severe burns from hot deckTSA's 3-1-1 rule explained: What it is & how to stay compliant with itA humanoid robot flew on Southwest Airlines to Dallas.
