It was an eventful week in which North Carolina landed a blue-chip recruit to its '26 class, was throttled at NC State, and then got Henri Veesaar back from injury in time to win at Syracuse. Now UNC returns home to host ranked Louisville and Virginia Tech this week. Sherrell McMillan and Sean Moran join Joey Powell to analyze the important takeaways from the week and focus forward on where the Tar Heels stand and what they need to accomplish. The Coast to Coast is delivered by Salvio's Pizzeria. http://salviospizza.com The Caleb Wilson is brought to you by Alex Swire-Clark. http://alexswire-clark.com   This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.

In advance of their show at Cobra Lounge on Sunday, 2/21, I’m joined by members of the Effigies and the Evictions at Cobra! Paul, Steve, and Andy from the Effigies and Johnny from the Evictions jumped in the car to preview the show and talk about the long history of Chicago music and punk. We also were treated to new items from Cobra’s pizza menu, thanks to Chef Jason: Dragged Through the Garden - poppy seed crust, sliced hot dogs, onion, sport peppers, dill pickles, green relish, mustard and celery salt Louie’s Pizza - Pepperoni, giardiniera, and calabrian chili oil Both pizzas were spectacular, but I think the hot dog pizza was really something extra special. See you at Cobra on Saturday! Apologies for not also having the Bollweevils on this episode - looks like I’ll have to have Daryl on again soon. Cobra Lounge (235 N.

Last week's emotional pinnacle (thus far) of beating Duke at home quickly cratered in Coral Gables this week as the North Carolina Tar Heels idled their way to a road loss. The mood around the program then plunged even deeper upon the news that All-everything Freshman Caleb Wilson would miss time with a broken bone in his hand. Carolina regrouped and with a mash-unit in the post, beat a hapless Pitt team in Chapel Hill to round out the most helter skelter stretch in quite some time with a trip to Raleigh on deck. Sherrell McMillan and Sean Moran join Joey Powell to decipher it all. The Coast to Coast is delivered by Salvio's Pizzeria.

Das organisierte Verbrechen, offene Schulden, eine Patrone im Briefkasten und Schüsse auf ein Auto in Italien. Dieser Fall klingt wie aus einem Mafia-Film, nur hat er sich im beschaulichen Nierstein am Rhein abgespielt. Das Opfer in diesem Fall ist Domenico, Inhaber einer Pizzeria in Nierstein. An einem verhängnisvollen Abend, das Lokal ist schon zu aber der Chef noch im Restaurant, hält ein Auto vor der Pizzeria. Ein Mann steigt aus, es fallen unzählige Schüsse. Domenico will noch zu seiner Waffe greifen, aber es ist zu spät: Der 51-Jährige ist tot. Steckt wirklich die Italienische Mafia hinter dem Verbrechen?

Jaime Black (Dynasty Podcasts) has been podcasting for 20+ years, and has a wealth of experience and success behind that history. While not his first time on the podcast, this marks his first time joining me in the car - very exciting stuff. We talk about the art and business of podcasting. It’s a bit “inside baseball,” but I think it’s a conversation that will click with anyone who’s ever taken a DIY approach or who’s worked to build a brand.

Col livello medio della pizza nel piatto sempre maggiore, soprattutto all'interno delle pizzerie meritevoli, a fare la differenza contano anche i dettagli, quelli che fanno venire voglia al cliente di ritornare.Salviette e spray dai profumi non pungenti, bagni che non sono una cloaca e magari offrono accessori simpatici, menu degustazione pensati come quantità e varietà, rumore e musica di sottofondo calibrati e tanto altro: ne parlo in questa nuova puntata del podcast (presente anche come editoriale su The Great Pizza), dando qualche consiglio sulla base di esperienza da cliente che prova oltre 150 pizzerie ogni anno!

Send us a textOn this week's episode, we're chatting with Marvin Kinney, the owner of R Town Pizza, who set out to bring Detroit-style pies to Reno in 2022. Kinney isn't just thoughtful about making pizzas, he's hoping to reform restaurant culture into a place of growth and mutual respect. We ask Kinney how he keeps food waste under 1% and why he believes in collaboration over competition. From growing up in a pizzeria with parents who were both chefs to creating a family-friendly community hub, Kinney's journey is packed with actionable insights for every operator. Show Notes: R Town Pizzahttps://www.rtownpizza.com/ Are you a Pizzeria to Watch? We are looking for standout pizzerias to feature in our 2026 Pizzerias to Watch in our May issue of Pizza Today.

Jonathan of Time Thieves returns to the podcast in advance of the band’s LP release show at Empty Bottle on February 26 (also featuring Josh Caterer Trio, Al Scorch, and Earl Gary). We met at Dante’s (1936 W. Chicago), which played host to a Palermo’s Unreal Foods pop-up: VEGAN TACO HELL. Returning guest Mustafa is one of the principals at Palermo’s, and he shared the amazing Crunchwrap and Taco Hell Grande with us - I swear it tasted authentic, and was entirely plant-based. Jonathan and I talk about the suitable-for-framing-and-playing new album, old record players, authentic recording, and the goal of being a one-hit wonder. It’s always a great time with Jonathan - hope you enjoy listening/watching! ##Let’s talk about merch.

One of the most popular guests on the podcast has been Joe Carlucci, owner of Valentina's Pizzeria & Wine Bar. Joe made his first appearance back in 2022 on episode 22 and made an instant impact with the audience. He came back for two more episodes to have Joe update Troy on the progress of his new store and it also seemed only fitting to have Joe join Troy for the big milestone 100th episode. In this episode, we focus on a fundraiser to support January "Human Trafficking Awareness Month". The fundraiser was in connection with Destiny Rescue group out of Indiana. Why is this subject so controversial? Troy and Joe discuss this and many other things to include a secret plan for perhaps another restaurant in the not so distant future.For more information on Joe and Valentina's visit https://valentinaspizzeria.comHost/Interviewer: M.

In this episode, we dive into the hilariously frustrating world of conference calls, where the ending is often marred by a surge of annoying questions that no one really cares about. We explore how these interruptions can turn a semi-productive meeting into a test of patience. Shifting gears, we tackle the universal debate of pizzerias, highlighting the absurdity of how every town believes their local joint serves the best pie, despite them all being strikingly similar. We also touch on the classic weather debates, pondering why people feel the need to comment on whether snow should be rain and vice versa. Join us for a funny take on everyday grievances that drive us all a little crazy!

After a brutal west coast swing that saw UNC winless in California, the Tar Heels returned to the friendly confines of Eastern Standard Time. Picking up an expected win at home against an outmatched Notre Dame team shook off some of the bad feelings that surrounded the program, however it was the major come-from-behind win on the road against a high-caliber UVa squad that showed that this squad may still have a say in the conference. Sean Moran and Sherrell McMillan join Joey Powell to assess just how much of a turnaround the past week may mean. The Coast to Coast is delivered by Salvio's Pizzeria in Cary.

In this episode of The Best of LKN, Jeff sits down with Craig and Lucy, the owners behind Brooklyn South, one of Cornelius' most beloved local restaurants and a longtime staple of the Lake Norman food scene.Craig and Lucy share their journey from Long Island, New York, to Lake Norman, and the story behind opening Brooklyn South in 1998—long before Cornelius became what it is today. They reflect on the early days of the restaurant, the challenges of building a business in a growing community, and the importance of consistency, community, and customer experience.The conversation explores what's made Brooklyn South a repeat winner of Lake Norman's Best Pizza, the role of long-tenured staff, and why word-of-mouth has always been their most powerful form of marketing. Craig and Lucy also discuss their other local concepts, Brooklyn Boys and Novanta Pizzeria Napoletana, including the inspiration behind each and the lessons learned from expanding—and later refocusing—close to home.They close by reflecting on nearly three decades in business, the strength of the Cornelius community, and what longevity really means as local restaurateurs.Brooklyn South Pizzeria19400 Jetton Rd # 201Cornelius, NC 28031(704) 896-2928https://www.brooklynsouthpizzeria.com/---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Lake Norman's #1 Podcast & Email NewsletterThe Best of LKNhttps://thebestoflkn.com/Hosted by:Jeff Hammwww.lknreal.comSupport the show

“You're born, you'rе cursed, and every deck is stacked.” Who are the Brokedowns? “A tradesman, two remote workers, and a pizza chef named Mustafa forged their sound in the industrial glow of Chicagoland, channeling blue-collar grit through a lens of existential comedy and transforming Midwest frustration into something loud enough to sound like hope.” The Brokedowns piled into the car to chat about their excellent new album, “Let’s Tip the Landlord.” It’s not every day you can get all four guys in the same place, so I was excited to be joined by: Kris Megyery (guitar/vocals) Eric Grossmann (guitar/vocals) Jon Balun (bass/vocals) Mustafa Daka (drums) We go deep into “Let’s Tip the Landlord,” an album that includes a saxophone, a disturbing recurring ad, loving gaslighting, the Beach Boys and Sirhan Sirhan … a must-listen!

After a week off during which North Carolina had time to work on itself, the Tar Heels dealt with more of their recent issues in hanging on to eke past Wake Forest at home. While the Tar Heels still stand at 14-2 on the season, Sean Moran and Sherrell McMillan join Joey Powell to try and decipher how much of that record is legitimate and how much of it is a mirage.

Happy New Year!!! In this week's edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, we talk to Natural State Rabbit President & CEO Brian Bonk. He runs what's basically 2 companies in one – selling rabbit meat for food and the biologics side where parts of the rabbit are used in medicine and other things. Also with us are rabbit evangelists Mike Robertshaw and Meredith Butler of Pizzeria Ruby... but first!?! FOOD NEWS!!! Black Apple Hard Cider closed at the start the year Crabby's in Rogers also closed at the start of the year and are offering refunds for gift cards sold during their December promotion. KDK's Chicken & Waffles in Fayetteville will open later than planned. Hear when the Botanical in Fayetteville will open! Also, Artemis next door is soon-to-open! Rendezvous Junction Brewing is holding a chili cookoff. We tell you how to compete in it. Buster Belly's old location on Dickson is getting a new tenant. On this week's Flavors Flashback, hear the horror that was the week leading up to the opening of Gaskins on Emma. Natural State Rabbits resides in downtown Rogers and is the largest supplier of rabbit to restaurants in the country. They're also a biologics company. They use parts of rabbits for medicine and other things around the nation and the world. It's a pretty amazing story and FULL of history as the company started in 1911. We had the conversation at Pizzeria Ruby, as their relationship with Natural State Rabbit started before it was even called that. In fact, there was no Pizzeria Ruby at that point, and they were operating a food truck! How they got connected is a fun story. By the way, we were feasting on rabbit tenders during the interview and they were so good. I've recently become a fan of rabbit – if you haven't tried it yet, think chicken but grass-fed and leaner. It's SO GOOD. They're offering OUR listeners and followers 15% off their starter variety box, just use “FLAVORS” as the discount code at nsrabbitmeat.com. That includes free shipping, or you can hop over to downtown Rogers and pick it up if you'd like. We hear from Natural State Rabbit President & CEO Brian Bonk, and Pizzeria Ruby's Mike Robertshaw and Meredith Butler in today's edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas.

Chris and Amy discuss the diminishing popularity of pizzerias. They cite menu-prices and weight-loss shots as factors.

The New Year was unkind to North Carolina Basketball as they opened conference play with a 1-1 split last week. While UNC has been statistically good defensively thus far this year, veteran guards this week exploited the Tar Heels in a major way. Sherrell McMillan and Sean Moran join Joey Powell to break down the truth while also keeping context at the forefront.

As I head toward the end of my appendectomy/ileocectomy recovery, I jump back into podcasting with an obvious guest: Dr. Daryl Wilson of the Bollweevils. Who better to talk through the past 2 ½ months of medical madness than a celebrated ER doctor with decades of experience? We talk through my experiences, from the moment my appendix burst through my current recovery, all discussed with a requisite amount of dark humor (and insight). If you ever wanted to know what the most vomit-inducing experience was during this period, we don’t hold back (spoiler: the colonoscopy doesn’t even come close). After Daryl “clears me” to return to podcasting and we put a bow on my appendix era, we get into Daryl’s new band, Pressure Set. It’s surprising, brand new, and something you’ll want to look out for in 2026. And don’t forget the Bollweevils: They have big plans for ‘26, as well. I’m grateful to have a friend like Daryl, and I think after listening to this episode Daryl will feel like a friend of yours, as well. So yeah… I’m back. As Daryl says in the episode, I’m “big back.” Thank you for your support, positive vibes, and kind words. Let’s have fun this year. -JVO ### Let’s talk about merch.

North Carolina has completed the non-conference portion of their schedule with a 12-1 record and ranked 12th in the AP Poll. The Tar Heels now begin play in a stronger but navigable ACC hoping to build on the momentum they created until now. Sherrell McMillan and Sean Moran join Joey Powell to look ahead to conference play and consider how UNC may figure into the mix.

Wil peaks with Enga Stanfield, co-owner of multiple Mattenga's Pizzeria in San Antonio and Head of Community at Owner.com. Enga, an Iranian-born former engineer with no prior restaurant experience, shares how she and her husband Matt transitioned from engineering to restaurant ownership in 2014 by purchasing a struggling pizzeria, initially losing significant money due to inexperience. Through relentless grassroots marketing, obsessive cost control, data-driven location selection, and frugal self-funded growth, they turned the business around, expanded to multiple locations, achieved consistent strong sales growth, and built a profitable family-oriented operation that prioritizes community giving, strong systems, and work-life balance while preparing for potential franchising.10 Takeaways No experience required, but commitment is essential: Enga and Matt had zero restaurant or business background yet succeeded through sheer passion, grit, and a willingness to learn from expensive mistakes.  Obscurity is the biggest enemy: The real problem isn't perfect recipes or discounts, it's getting known. Aggressive, consistent marketing (guerrilla tactics, drop-offs, parades, costumes) is the owner's primary job.  Babysit numbers, not people: Obsess over P&L, labor percentages, food costs, and sales forecasting—small percentage improvements on large volumes create massive profit impact.  Hustle beats excuses: External factors (bad location, competition like Chick-fil-A) are irrelevant; successful owners take full responsibility and aggressively pursue customers.  Give to receive: Donating hundreds of pizzas monthly, supporting schools with spirit nights, and community involvement builds loyalty and drives long-term growth.  Location math matters: Use free tools like USPS Every Door Direct Mail to analyze household density, income levels, and demographics to ensure a site can support target sales and profit margins.  Break growth into simple math: Reverse-engineer sales goals into daily orders needed, then create targeted marketing plans to acquire and retain those customers.  Build systems and people, not just rockstars: Strong operational systems and deliberate team development allow scalability. Doing $15/hour tasks yourself prevents building a real business.  Negotiate everything: Leases, vendor prices, contracts: always ask, build in exit protections, and never sign desperate deals. Walking away power is crucial.  Profitability enables generosity: Running a tight, systematic, profitable operation allows you to pay people well, give back to the community, and maintain a thriving family life.

The UNC Tar Heels stacked another two-win week, beating ETSU at home and gutting out a moxie-filled close one against Ohio State in Atlanta. Seth Trimble's return makes for much discussion about the team's ceiling, but the change in rotation and minute share is also quite the development to watch moving forward. Sherrell McMillan and Sean Moran join Joey Powell to dive into two distinctively different wins for North Carolina.

Dave interviews someone as pessimistically optimistic as him today: Alex Stupak, chef and founder of Empellón. Dave and Alex talk about the dark arts of sandbagging (2:33), the end of "high/low" dining, and the history of food leading to today (6:28). They also discuss selling out, Alex's new social media presence, and the origin of ideas. Somehow, by the end of the podcast, these two "pessimists" end up hopeful for the future of the cooking world, even with AI imminent (1:27:49).
