    [Part Two of Two] In Part Two of this two-part episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and ⁠Liz Farrell⁠ share some big news that SLED teams searched the home, business and possibly farm of one of Scott's shooters, Weldon Boyd.  Also in the civil wrongful death case against Weldon Boyd and Bradley Williams, Weldon filed a motion on Tuesday asking that Judge Eugene “Bubba” Griffith — who denied Stand Your Ground immunity to Weldon and Williams — recuse himself from the Spivey case altogether, claiming that Judge Griffith tried to get Bradley to lie in exchange for immunity.  Weldon's attorney accuses Judge Griffith of violating the most technical rules on allowing the media to film court proceedings. We also share insights on the appointment of Judge Debbie McCaslin who will oversee all decisions in Alex Murdaugh's murder retrial. Plus a quick look at the Netflix Murdaugh 'Instadoc' and the unsealing of court records dealing with the dismissal of Murdaugh juror 785… Let's Dive In…

    Les vacances d'été arrivent à grands pas, et avec elles, leur lot de repas en famille au restaurant. Après la polémique de janvier autour de l'"espace sans enfants" proposé par la SNCF, on a eu envie de reprogrammer cet épisode qui questionne la place de l'enfant à table.Qu'on le regarde en tant que parent, voisin de table ou restaurateur, comment considère-t-on un enfant à table ? Peut-on l'emmener dans n'importe quel établissement ? Les chefs pensent-ils à cette clientèle ? Comment réinventer le menu enfant, et accueillir un public qui n'a pas forcément les codes, ni le ticket moyen qui plaît au comptable ?Pour en parler, Lucie Caudrelier et Camille Guillaud nous rejoignent. Lucie était à l'époque directrice communication et marketing du Fooding et a porté l'initiative de Fooding Kids. Elle a depuis été nommée directrice générale du Fooding en avril, toutes nos félicitations !Camille, vous l'avez déjà entendue dans le podcast avec son compagnon Alessandro, qui racontaient comment conjuguer vie de parent et travail en restauration. C'est de cet échange qu'est né ce sujet. Elle nous accueille à nouveau dans son restaurant Candide, qu'on vous invite chaleureusement à découvrir, avec ou sans enfant·s ;)

    Step into Episode 216 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Roland Wood III — a Phoenix-born, west-side-raised finance veteran who went from staff accountant to CFO across some of Arizona's most recognized restaurant concepts, including Grimaldi's and Square One. Roland pulls back the curtain on what a CFO actually does, why the best ones never win a popularity contest, and how "if the math doesn't math" sometimes the answer just has to be no.From navigating 50 Grimaldi's locations during a financial restructuring and securing $6–7M in COVID relief programs for Square One, to breaking down food cost management, inventory tech, marketing ROI, and the real value of fractional CFO services for growing hospitality groups — this conversation is packed with honest, practical perspective that operators, owners, and industry professionals rarely get to hear. Roland also unpacks why cutting quality to save margin is a long-game trap, how to use fixed pricing agreements to avoid supply volatility, and why "you will never save your way to prosperity."Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 1:50) Delo's New Book: Risky Business & Intro to Roland Wood III(1:51 - 5:06) Roland's Background, West Side Phoenix & the Restaurant Scene(5:07 - 9:28) School, ASU, Early Career & How Roland Landed in Restaurants(9:29 - 13:54) What a CFO Actually Does: Banking, Cash Flow & Hard Conversations(13:55 - 17:22) Grimaldi's: 50 Locations, Capital Structure & Food Cost Differences(17:23 - 21:38) Inventory Tech, ERP Systems, Cogswell, Craftable & Portion Decisions(21:39 - 25:09) Food Pricing Strategy, Fixed Agreements & Hedging Against Volatility(25:10 - 27:52) Marketing ROI: How Finance Holds Marketing Accountable for Traffic(27:53 - 32:28) Square One: COVID-Era Entry, Multi-Concept Finance & Barrett's Portfolio(32:29 - 34:47) Fractional CFO Services: Who It's For, Ideal Client & the Value Proposition(34:48 - 42:21) Rapid Fire + Roland's Finance Philosophy: Invest, Don't Just Cut(42:22 - 42:43) Delo's Close, Book Promo & Podcast Sponsor Mention

    Episode Summary In this episode, I sit down with Yasemin to pull back the curtain on what it's really like to work in the restaurant industry. From the fast-paced chaos of a dinner rush to the emotional labor that comes with serving guests day in and day out, we talk honestly about the realities servers face—and why respect and kindness from customers truly matter. Yasemin shares her personal experiences on the floor, including the small things that make a big difference (yes, including the right shoes!). We also explore how positive energy, community support, and simple human connection can completely transform the dining experience—for both guests and staff. This conversation is a powerful reminder that servers are more than order-takers—they're people. If you've ever dined out, this episode might just change the way you see the person bringing your meal.       Links & Resources   YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@bitterwaitresspodcast   Podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/cz/podcast/bitter-waitress/id1837005569   If this episode made you think differently about your next dining experience, I'd love for you to rate, follow, share, and leave a review.

    Zum neunten Mal in Folge führen die Finnen den World Happiness Report an. Nicht weil sie dauernd lachen. Sondern weil sie etwas verstanden haben, das viele andere Länder noch suchen: Gemeinschaft schlägt Optimierung. Natur schlägt Speed. Und in der Sauna sind alle gleich.Jochen war im Sommer in Finnisch-Lappland — und saß in einer Schutzhütte, 20 Meter von einer Bärenmutter und ihren Jungen entfernt. Er hat Beeren direkt vom Boden gegessen, Pilze gesammelt, die in Deutschland ein Vermögen kosten würden. Und am Ende eines langen Tages: ein gelbes Holzhaus am See. Kein Mückenstich. Nur Stille.Helsinki ist dann das Gegenteil — und trotzdem dasselbe Gefühl. Ein Hauptbahnhof, der aussieht wie ein Kunstwerk. Eine Bibliothek, in der 8.000 Menschen täglich zusammenkommen und die vom Volk aktiv mitgestaltet wurde. Ein Designviertel, in dem man stundenlang entdecken könnte.

The receipt went mega-viral, the internet lost its mind calling it peak out-of-touch LA nonsense, and the restaurant immediately folded -- full refund, apology for the "miscommunication," and they even slashed the policy to $5 a head going forward -- because nothing screams premium dining like charging you for the privilege of not eating their dessert.

    Roger Beaudoin is a restaurant entrepreneur, speaker, author, and founder of Restaurant Rockstars. After building, scaling, and selling multiple successful restaurants, Roger now helps hospitality operators increase profits, improve operations, and build stronger teams. In this episode, Roger shares the lessons he learned from launching a restaurant with no prior experience, overcoming major setbacks, and applying business systems to an industry where many owners struggle to work on the business instead of in it. On this episode we talk about: Roger's first entrepreneurial ventures, from beachside lemonade sales to campus businesses How he launched a restaurant despite having no restaurant ownership experience The costly $40,000 lesson that nearly derailed his first restaurant before it opened The systems and marketing strategies that helped build a highly profitable restaurant business Why most restaurant owners are running restaurants instead of running businesses Building Restaurant Rockstars and helping operators uncover hidden profits How podcasting has become a platform for teaching and connecting with industry leaders Roger's passion for classic cars and the story behind his Classic Car Guy Podcast Top 3 Takeaways Business systems matter more than industry experience. Roger's MBA background and focus on operations, marketing, and profitability helped him succeed despite never owning a restaurant before. Unique customer experiences create competitive advantages. Memorable branding, exceptional hospitality, and creative marketing can turn customers into loyal advocates. Entrepreneurs must learn to trust their instincts while staying resilient. Roger overcame a devastating $40,000 scam early in his journey and still built a thriving business. Notable Quotes “The main reason many operators struggle is they're trying to run a restaurant, not a business.” “Food is expected. Service has to be extraordinary.” “Anything you can do that's unique, different, or special gives you an advantage over the competition.” Connect with Roger Beaudoin: Website: https://rogerbeaudoin.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/restaurantrockstars/ Email: roger@restaurantrockstars.com A Word from Our Sponsors: - Are you ready to start your own creatorjourney and make it big?

    What do restaurant owners really think about customers? And what happens when a lifelong people-person—raised in the restaurant business, trained in psychology, and now leading tourism and community development—sits down for an honest conversation about modern life, parenting, hospitality, and America? In this episode of I Like That Story, Jeff Gould talks with Brittany Wagner, Tourism Director for Visit Yankton and a leader with Yankton Thrive in historic Yankton, South Dakota. Brittany's organization has invited Jeff to bring his acclaimed America's Story presentation to Yankton as part of the community's celebration surrounding America's 250th birthday—an especially meaningful event for one of the most historic communities in the Dakota Territory.

But this conversation is not really about chicken.Joe talks with Keri about the rise of Hot Chicken Takeover, the ego that came with it, the people impacted by his leadership, and the personal reckoning that followed. He is honest about marriage, fatherhood, masculinity, ambition, and the uncomfortable reality that success does not automatically make you whole.Now, Joe lives in Mount Vernon and is building Baker Road, a hospitality and retreat concept rooted in nature, adventure, discomfort, and real human connection. Think less corporate retreat, more walking into the woods and remembering you are still a person.This conversation moves from Columbus entrepreneurship to 100-mile runs, natural burials, leadership, vultures, marriage, and what the next chapter of Joe's work looks like.At its heart, this conversation is about what happens when success forces you to face yourself. Joe's story is a reminder that growth isn't always glamorous. Sometimes, the real work begins after the big win, when you have to decide who you want to become next.

    Wil sits down with 30-year restaurant veteran and author Lance Reynolds for a candid conversation about the realities of independent restaurant ownership. Lance shares his unlikely origin story, going from janitor to owner of the very same restaurant, and opens up about nearly losing everything when he overextended on a fourth location, plus the vulnerability it took to ask for help and turn things around. The two dig into what actually drives restaurant success: putting employees first, delivering genuine hospitality, telling your story, and embracing technology and AI to free up time for the human connection that makes local restaurants irreplaceable. With independent restaurants facing record closures, Lance offers practical, hard-won advice on reducing employee turnover, training effectively, managing your numbers, and using tools like AI and voice technology to survive and thrive in a tough economy.Top 10 Key TakeawaysYou don't have to fail to succeed. Lance learned everything the hard way through pain and near-bankruptcy. His mission now is helping operators skip the worst lessons through mentorship, books, and education.Ask for help, it's not weakness. Lance came within days of losing four restaurants and 177 jobs. The turning point was swallowing his ego, admitting he didn't know how to build a P&L, and asking for guidance.It's not about the food. Skilled farm-to-table chefs go out of business daily. Business acumen, systems, and hospitality are what separate survivors from casualties.People-first is the secret sauce. Lance runs on a three-legged stool: employee experience, guest experience, then bottom line, in that order. The financial success is a byproduct of getting the first two right.Turnover is a profit killer. Replacing a line employee costs roughly $4,500 to $6,000, and a manager runs $12,000 to $15,000. Investing in people up front changes the entire financial picture.Training drives retention. The more you train employees, the longer they stay. Well-trained teams build trust, and people don't leave environments they trust.Independent restaurants are community first responders. From hurricanes to wildfires, local restaurants show up with food, time, and money. If they vanished, local economies would collapse in weeks.AI is a game-changer most operators are ignoring. In Lance's talks, fewer than 5% of owners are intentionally using AI. He demonstrates live how it can generate specials, recipes, training, pricing, and social content in minutes.Technology should elevate hospitality, not replace it. Tools like voice AI (e.g., Virnika) and video training platforms automate behind-the-scenes work so staff can focus on guests, and they're not eliminating jobs, just reallocating talent.Tell your story. Sharing why your restaurant exists creates emotional connection with employees and guests alike. A chain's Achilles heel is local, intimate knowledge, so lean into it.

If you've ever watched an employee nod through a meeting and then go right back to doing things the old way, this episode is for you. I walk through why talking more is never the answer, why "we really need to be better about this" is not leadership, and how to build a structure that turns expectations into consistent behavior. Listeners will learn about the seven-step framework I call the Work Transfer Test, how to define clear and observable standards, why telling is not the same as training, and how to assign real ownership instead of floating responsibility across the team.

    This week on Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski sits down with Ryan Mikita of Ricca Design Studios for a fascinating conversation about the hidden world of foodservice design and the critical role it plays in shaping the restaurants, hotels, schools, arenas, and hospitality spaces we experience every day. Drawing on his unique journey from restaurant operations to leading large-scale foodservice design projects, Ryan shares how thoughtful planning can improve efficiency, employee well-being, sustainability, and the overall guest experience.The discussion explores everything from kitchen ergonomics and ventilation to workflow optimization, allergen-safe design, sustainability initiatives, and the growing shift toward all-electric commercial kitchens. Ryan also dives into the science and art behind restaurant operations, explaining how foodservice designers balance mathematical planning with human-centered design to create spaces that support both staff performance and memorable customer experiences.From university dining halls and hospitality venues to major public assembly projects and international developments, this episode offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the systems that power great food experiences. It's an insightful conversation about how exceptional buildings aren't just beautiful on the surface—they're thoughtfully designed from the inside out to serve the people who use them every day.More About Ryan MikitaRyan is a Pittsburgh-based Partner at Ricca Design Studios, where he leads a design studio focused on commercial kitchen and restaurant design across a wide range of project types. While based in Pittsburgh, his portfolio spans the globe, encompassing diverse and emerging markets, operational models, and project archetypes.His experience includes hospitality, healthcare, higher education, stadiums and arenas, government facilities, and corporate headquarters. Although each project presents its own unique challenges—often large-scale and highly complex—Ryan's approach remains consistent: designing foodservice environments that are efficient, reliable, and aligned with the broader goals of the project.Ryan works closely with ownership teams, architects, developers, and operators to bring concepts to life in ways that are both practical and well-executed. His perspective is firmly grounded in operations, with a strong emphasis on workflow, staffing, and day-to-day functionality, supported by extensive technical experience in the field.Much of his work involves complex projects requiring coordination across multiple disciplines. From feasibility studies and conceptual design through construction, Ryan helps teams align with financial constraints, navigate challenging existing conditions, and develop clear, realistic paths to execution. He focuses on delivering solutions that are buildable, thoughtful, and positioned for long-term success.At the core of Ryan's work is a passion for translating ambitious ideas into spaces that perform—balancing form and function in ways that hold up both on paper and in practice.CONTACT:www.ricca.com www.linkedin.com/in/rmikita www.instagram.com/mister_mikita Where To Find Us:https://bbfhpod.advancedglazings.com/www.advancedglazings.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/better-buildings-for-humans-podcastwww.linkedin.com/in/advanced-glazings-ltd-848b4625https://twitter.com/bbfhpodhttps://twitter.com/Solera_Daylighthttps://www.instagram.com/bbfhpod/https://www.instagram.com/advancedglazingsltdhttps://www.facebook.com/AdvancedGlazingsltd

Historically, Philly pride was held in an area of the city called the Gayborhood.  Named as such in October 1995 during the city's first Outfest in honor of national coming out day.  David Warner of the Philadelphia City Paper changed the lyrics to Mr. Roger's famous song and said It's a beautiful day in the gayborhood.  In 2007, the city installed 36 rainbow street signs between 11th and Broad Street, and Walnut and Pine Streets to recognize the gay history in our city.  This year, the event was moved to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, yet many chose to celebrate as they always have – in the Gayborhood. What they didn’t expect was an overwhelming police presence as they celebrated Philly Pride 2026.
