Football is back, which means it's officially time to panic over sample sizes of one! Mike Ryan Ruiz and Tony Calatayud swing by to publicly recant the terrible Week 1 takes they immediately regret. We ask the tough questions: Are the Rams and Chargers cooked, or just sleeping in? Tony breaks down why the Giants are complete, unadulterated fool's gold, and we roast the Steelers for somehow making a victory look like a mid-afternoon snoozefest. Finally, comedian Brad Williams joins us live from inside a Red Robin to preview Broncos vs. Chiefs—assuming his bottomless fries don't distract him first.ALERT: Football America!

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including quarterly results from CAVA and Chili's, new products from McDonald's and Domino's, and marketing promotions that have been surprising failures.First up is a recap of this week's earnings reports, including updates from CAVA, Brinker International, Jack in the Box, and Red Robin. CAVA and Chili's continued to wow, with sales and traffic both positive even as they lap big quarters from last year. Sam and Alicia unpack the results and discuss why the strategies at Cava and Chili's are working so well, even as the rest of the restaurant industry struggles to drive business. They also take a look at results from Red Robin and Jack in the Box, the latter of which saw sales drop 1.1% — making it nine of the last 10 quarters that the brand has been negative. Next they discuss big marketing promotions from this year — and particularly promos tied to massive IP that somehow still bombed. That includes Jack in the Box, which ended a campaign with the YouTube series ‘Hot Ones' early because it was performing poorly. Why didn't that campaign work? And what could be behind failures like Papa Johns' partnership with ‘Toy Story 5' and Wendy's campaign with ‘Minions'? Sam and Alicia examine the trend. They next shift their attention to new products from McDonald's and Domino's Pizza. The Golden Arches unveiled a new energy drink in collaboration with Red Bull — the Red Bull Dragonberry Energizer — that it hopes will drive business among younger generations and help it compete with the fast-growing beverage brands. Meanwhile, Domino's introduced a new Detroit-style slice that could help it differentiate among competitors while embracing its Michigan roots. Sam and Alicia discuss these new innovations and how they could help those two brands drive renewed interest among guests. After closing things out with an examination of restaurants that have recently shuttered or filed for bankruptcy, they share a conversation between NRN senior food and beverage editor Bret Thorn and Urbane Cafe founder Tom Holt.For more on these stories: Cava same-store sales grow 9% in Q2McDonald's is getting into the energy game with Red BullHave restaurant marketing collaborations lost some luster?

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including McDonald's Big Arch Burger coming to the U.S., Domino's incredible dominance over its pizza competitors, and Sweetgreen's disastrous fourth quarter. First up is McDonald's, which announced that its Big Arch Burger — which has tested internationally since 2024 — would come to the U.S. starting March 3. Sam and Alicia discuss the premium burger, with Alicia explaining how the new item fulfills a barbell strategy for the brand, and Sam wondering how it differs from past McDonald's failures like the Arch Deluxe and Angus burgers. Next they dive into last week's earnings, starting with the pizza category. Domino's reported another strong quarter, reassuring anyone who thought the pizza category as a whole might be faltering. Sam and Alicia talk about Domino's market share gains in pizza and how it's doing so well while competitors Pizza Hut and Papa Johns are floundering; in fact, Papa Johns reported this week that sales were down 5% in the latest quarter, and that it would close 300 underperforming locations. What's going on in pizza? They then move their attention to the full-service side of the industry, where casual dining stalwarts like Applebee's, BJ's, Red Robin, and Outback mostly had good news report, while family dining brands like First Watch and IHOP dispelled notions that the category was suffering from customers cutting back on their breakfast and brunch spend. Could there be sustained momentum in full-service dining? Sam and Alicia break it down. Finally, in this week's “extra serving” portion of the episode, managing editor Leigh Anne Zinsmeister joins to talk about results from leading fast-casual brands, including CAVA and Shake Shack, which enjoyed positive results, and Sweetgreen, which had a disastrous quarter with sales down 11.5%.For more on these stories:McDonald's is bringing its Big Arch Burger to the U.S.Domino's defies industry-wide consumer spending slowdown with 3.7% Q4 same-store sales growthSweetgreen moves with ‘urgency' as same-store sales plummet 11.5%

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including expectations for fourth-quarter earnings, casual-dining value roll-outs, and a regional chain with plans to go national. First up is a look ahead at fourth-quarter earnings, which kick off in earnest this week with Starbucks and Brinker. What should we expect to learn from the results? Sam and Alicia lay out their expectations. That could include some tough news from some chains, as a number of restaurant companies — including Torchy's, Joe's Crab Shack, and Peet's Coffee — recently announced store closures. Sam and Alicia unpack that news and the reality that the U.S. restaurant scene is oversaturated, meaning we could see more closures throughout the year. Next they shout out friend of the pod Kelli Valade, the former Denny's CEO who just took the same role at the Women's Foodservice Forum. Sam and Alicia share their thoughts on why Kelli is perfect for the job. Then they tackle casual-dining value programs, which ramped up this week with new deals from brands like Red Robin, Kura Sushi, Ford's Garage, and Red Lobster. Why are these full-service chains suddenly turning to value — and how can they successfully promote deals while not destroying profitability? Finally, in the extra serving portion of the episode, managing editor Leigh Anne Zinsmeister joins to talk about news from regional restaurant chains — including a fast-casual salad concept that plans to become a national chain with its new strategic plan.For more on these stories: Peet's Coffee to close dozens of locations this monthRed Robin is launching a 6-item value menuJust Salad expects to be one of the largest restaurant chains in the U.S.
