We're ranking every table service restaurant on the Walt Disney World monorail loop. From the iconic chaos of Chef Mickey's to the signature staples like California Grill, Cítricos, and Narcoossee's… and yes, even the modern newcomer Wailulu Bar & Grill — nothing is off limits. We break down all ten restaurants across Disney's Contemporary Resort, Polynesian Village Resort, and Grand Floridian Resort & Spa using seven key criteria including food quality, value for money, atmosphere, views, uniqueness, reservation difficulty, and who each spot is really for. But we don't stop there. We hand out bonus awards — because what's a ranking episode without a little chaos? This episode blends nostalgia, honest opinions, date-night vibes, family dining realities, and a few spicy takes along the way. Whether you're planning your next monorail meal or just want to argue with us from your car, this one is guaranteed to spark debate. All aboard — it's time for Our Official Monorail Restaurant Rankings.

Mayor Mike Johnston signed an executive order last week that, among other things, bans immigration officials from any city property and requires Denver police to intervene if federal agents are compromising the safety of citizens. Westword editor Patty Calhoun joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to dig into how this order could play out. Then, a new report on the “structural contraction” of the restaurant industry is sparking a new round of debate about Denver's tipped minimum wage. Plus, listeners decry the mayor's use of “Trumpian” in our interview with Johnston last week.  What do you think about Denver possibly lowering the tipped minimum wage? We want to hear from you!

El Burrito Mercado has been a bedrock of the West St. Paul community for nearly 50 years. It's changed a lot over that time, evolving from a small grocery store into a restaurant, deli, bakery, and so much more. Now, it's had to change again, as thousands of federal immigration agents have descended on this Twin Cities neighborhood over the past few months. Milissa Silva, the co-owner and CEO of El Burrito Mercado, tells us the story of how her immigrant parents' business became a community hub, and how she and her staff have increased security and set up a food delivery operation for people afraid to leave their homes.  Check out El Burrito Mercado's website and Instagram for ways to help the West St. Paul community.

The restaurant and food service industry is the nation's second-largest private-sector employer, trailing only healthcare. How this industry performs is vital to the American economy, its millions of workers, and their customers. According to a recent National Restaurant Association survey, 60% of Americans consider dining out essential to their lifestyle, prioritizing it over electronics, clothing, and even entertainment. Yet, a massive disconnect remains: 7 in 10 Americans say they would dine out more if they could afford it, while 60% of restaurant owners reported a drop in foot traffic last year. Earlier this week, FOX News Rundown host Chris Foster spoke with Dr. Chad Moutray, the National Restaurant Association's Chief Economist, about the state of the restaurant industry and why he is cautiously optimistic about the year ahead. Moutray discusses how dining trends, inflation, and delivery apps are impacting eateries both big and small. While we often have to cut interviews short during the week, we thought you might like to hear the full conversation. Today on the FOX News Rundown Extra, we share our entire interview with Dr. Chad Moutray so you can learn more about the reality of dining out in today's economy. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why some servers do not want black tables. We talk openly about Dining While Black (DWB), how stereotypes are formed, how servers categorize guests of every background, and how poor service can become a self fulfilling prophecy. It is about honesty, lived experience, and the realities servers face on the floor every single shift. From tipping stereotypes and confirmation bias to energy, demeanor, and service expectationsThere's a moment every waiter recognizes instantly. A Black table walks in the door, and suddenly servers start playing the quiet game of “not it.”After 30 years in the restaurant industry, I'm breaking down the stereotype that Black people don't tip, where it comes from, and how confirmation bias and bad service help keep it alive.As a Black waiter, I've worked every type of restaurant and served every type of guest. I've seen how expectations change service, how service changes tips, and how the industry rarely questions the stories it tells itself.#RestaurantLife #ServerLife #HospitalityIndustry #TippingCultureFollow Me On Social Media:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/themodernwaiterpodcast/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@themodernwaiterSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Production is steady. Prices dipped. But nearly 5 million birds are gone – and migration season is just getting started.BEEF: Harvest rose to 541K head, but we're still running well behind last year. Middle meats are inching higher, especially strips, while chucks soften and grinds slip again (for now). Production isn't growing. Plan accordingly.POULTRY: Production is up 2% year over year, but the early-year price run just stalled. Wings, breasts, and tenders dipped slightly. Meanwhile, avian flu hit hard again, and spring migration could make things interesting.GRAINS: Soy oil is moving higher for a second straight week, surprising given the supply. Corn slipped back, wheat flat. Right now, soy has the spotlight.PORK: Bellies climbed again to $138 and still look headed higher. The rest of the complex is steady and balanced. Nothing dramatic… yet.DAIRY: Dairy has direction. Block jumped, butter keeps recovering, barrel ticking up. Momentum is building.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Beef is tight. Bellies are climbing. Birds are under watch. The seasonal shift may bring more than warmer weather.BEEF: Production is down 10% YTD, with last week at just 516K head. The smallest herd in 75 years keeps supply tight as spring demand builds. Strips and ribeyes look ready to lead a March run – and thin meats may feel it first.POULTRY: Production is up 2%, but hatch rates under 79% raise questions. Wings dip while breasts hold steady. Thirteen new avian flu cases hit 550K birds – just as migration ramps up.GRAINS: Soy keeps climbing on export deals and biofuel demand. Corn and wheat stay stuck. Three weeks into the rally, and now we see if it has legs.PORK: Bellies jumped to $146, nearing $150 faster than expected. Bacon will follow, and elevated pricing could stick into summer. The rest of pork remains a value, but for how long?DAIRY: Barrel up 5. Block up 6. Butter up 7. Dairy is clearly moving higher, and it doesn't look finished yet.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Summer in Madison is always sweet, but this year we have even more to look forward to as “Top Chef” star and Ho-Chunk chef Elena Terry's new restaurant, Tall Grass, will *hopefully* open at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art just in time for the Art Fair in the Square.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Spur Corporation CEO Val Nichas about the group’s latest half‑year results, its expanding restaurant footprint, and how the business is managing competitive and economic pressures. In other interviews, Amo Ramela, morning traffic reporter on 702, Dr Megan Bewer from Stellenbosch University’s transport and logistics department, Early Breakfast host Africa Malane and independent transport economist Ofentse Madisha about growing congestion in Johannesburg and Cape Town, where commuters say traffic volumes have surged since the start of the year. With more vehicles on the road, shifting work and school patterns, and ongoing pressure on public transport systems, many South Africans are spending longer hours behind the wheel. Beyond daily frustration, rising congestion raises questions about lost productivity, increased fuel costs and the broader economic impact on two of the country’s most important metros.

Kasey Jernigan (Choctaw) interviewed and observed Choctaw women over a period of years about food and their relationships to it. She documents what she learned in those observations in her new book, “Commod Bods: Embodied Heritage, Foodways and Indigeneity”. The book uses federal food and nutrition assistance as the jumping off point for an exploration of individual perceptions of food and colonial influences on Native health outcomes. A quaint eatery in Arizona's Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community is attracting attention over and above the dozens of other frybread stands that dot reservation roadsides across the country. The Stand was just named one of USA Today's 2026 Restaurants of the Year. It's built by the same person who makes the frybread dough and serves the soup in a decidedly rustic setting. Author, poet, educator and legal scholar Marique B. Moss (Photo: courtesy M. Moss) Marique B. Moss explores her Black and Indigenous identity in her poetic memoir, “Sweetgrass and Soul Food”. She is among the Native people offering support to Minneapolis residents in the wake of the expanded immigration efforts from her space, Mashkiki Studios.

The act of care and service through food has been incredibly important to Besha Rodell throughout her life, from her first, euphoric experience of a fancy restaurant at age eight, to the aftermath of September 11.Today Besha is the chief restaurant critic at The Age.The thrill of a fancy restaurant first imprinted itself on her psyche when she was a girl, treated to dinner at Stephanie's iconic spot in Melbourne.As a teenager, Besha was transplanted to her mother's native USA and got her first job in hospitality — and found her people — in North Carolina.A stint in New York followed, where Besha witnessed September 11 in real time.Eventually Besha started a family with her boyfriend, Ryan, in North Carolina and the family found they were living under the poverty line. They got by thanks to a government food voucher program.Shortly after, Besha's blog posts, written for fun, gained traction and she was given her first assignment in food writing.Further informationHunger Like A Thirst is published by HardieGrant.This episode was produced by Alice Moldovan.

In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Michelle Korsmo, president and CEO of the National Restaurant Association, an organization that represents hundreds of thousands of restaurants at all levels of government. The association issues an annual State of the Industry report every year with in-depth research on how restaurants performed in the prior year, how things are expected to go in the year ahead, and how operators are feeling about the trends affecting their business. That report just came out a couple weeks ago and Michelle joined the podcast to dive into the data and talk specifically about the economy, workforce trends, and how technology is reshaping the restaurant operation. They also talked about the association's three biggest legislative priorities today: immigration reform, the credit card competition act, and the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement.In this conversation, you'll find out why:To succeed in 2026, you should pay close attention to your workforce and operational efficienciesThe industry will add a million jobs in the next decade, and we need young people and immigrants to help fill themTech can help make employees happier, which can improve your culture and lower turnoverThe boom in off-premises business seems to have stabilizedHave feedback or ideas for Take-Away?

For decades, families gathered in their big ol' vehicles and enjoyed a nice night out at a chain restaurant. The purpose of these chains is, no matter where you're located, you'll have generally the same food and experience at a reasonable price. However, by the 2010s, chain restaurants became pariahs, and many have either filed for Chapter 11 or have closed up shop completely. Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur talks about the death of the chain restaurant, how it wasn't just Millennials and their avocado toast that killed them, and how these closures represent an erosion of the Middle Class.   Be sure to subscribe to Tony's Patreon. $3 gets you just audio, $5 gets video AND audio, and $10 has all of the above, as well as bonus podcasts per week. Visit Patreon.com/TonyMazur. Tony is also on Rumble! Go find his video podcasts over there for free.   Cover art for the Check Your Brain podcast is by Eric C. Fischer.
