From a humble start in South Louisiana to building restaurant empires across America, Paul Fleming's journey is a story of grit, hospitality, and vision. As the founder and force behind beloved brands like Ruth's Chris (West Coast expansion), PF Chang's, Fleming's Prime Steakhouse, Paul Martin's, Lake Park Diner, and Paulita's Tacos—Paul has helped define American dining for over three decades. In this episode, Paul reflects on how growing up with strong family values and working in every position in the restaurant world prepared him for a life of entrepreneurship. He shares how his oil business pivoted into hospitality, why working alongside people he respects keeps him energized, and how staying close to the customer is still his greatest advantage.  From building cultures of generosity to investing in the next generation of food innovators, Paul's insights are equal parts practical and inspiring. You'll hear how he chooses the right time to exit a business, why he's never looked back, and how values-based leadership has shaped his lasting impact. “People are everything—and they're expensive when you get them wrong.” – Paul Fleming “We pay our vendors like slot machines—and we get the best product because of it.” – Paul Fleming “I've never looked back on a business I sold. The timing was right, and there's always another great concept to build.” – Paul Fleming This Week on The Wow Factor: How a “poor Cajun boy” from South Louisiana built multiple billion-dollar restaurant brands The early days of PF Chang's—and the lettuce wrap that changed everything Why Paul believes the restaurant industry and soccer have more in common than you think How great hiring, vendor respect, and intentional generosity build lasting businesses The legacy of Ruth's Chris and the lessons Paul learned from Ruth herself How his wife Jody is leading the charge on new concepts like Paulita's Tacos and PJK Chinese Paul's insights on staying positive, working hard, and building brands with purpose Why private equity isn't just about money—it's about people, timing, and culture What makes Lake Park Diner in Naples a local go-to and a tribute to a visionary partner Paul Fleming's Word of Wisdom: You've got to work your butt off in a business you're good at and enjoy—for 25 years. Focus, commit, and trust that effort over time creates impact. The real legacy is built when you invest in people, treat vendors with respect, and lead with consistency. There's no shortcut—just sustained effort, community, and doing what's right.

How does a former restaurateur and retail franchisee pivot into managing nearly $19M in real estate assets? In this compelling episode, Brian Plumer shares his journey from struggling to sell his first fix-and-flip in 2008 to now owning over 1,000 units across multifamily and self-storage. Hear how a pandemic pivot, relentless learning, and hands-on experience led him to raise capital, partner on syndications, and build Litmus Capital Investments. Brian opens up about his early failures, the mindset shifts that fueled his success, and why self-storage has become his secret weapon for scalable, resilient investing. 5 Key Takeaways from Brian Plumer's Episode:From Retail to Real Estate: Brian's first failed flip turned into a long-term rental—and his gateway into passive income and multifamily investing.Self-Storage Strategy: Pivoting to self-storage gave Brian access to off-market deals with seller financing, lower management headaches, and powerful cash flow.Raising Capital with Credibility: He started small—$250K from friends and family—and learned that confidence, transparency, and trust are more important than pitch decks.Fund of Funds Future: Inspired by the HERO Alliance, Brian is building toward a fund-of-funds model to scale without taking on asset management roles.Consistency Beats Speed: Whether taking baby steps or giant leaps, Brian emphasizes staying the course, finding mentors, and building relationships as the key to long-term success.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

Vous étiez sûr d'être en train de boire un grand Meursault ? Et si c'était, en fait, un bon vieux bourgogne générique ? Vous ne vous en doutiez sûrement pas, mais sachez que certains restaurants profitent de l'ignorance de leurs clients pour remplacer des vins d'appellation vendus à prix forts… par des crus de moindre valeur ! On désigne cette pratique d'un terme qui n'est pas sans rappeler quelques rudiments de jardinage, à savoir le «rempotage». Une technique frauduleuse consistant à ne pas servir le vin commandé sur la carte, au profit d'un autre, bien moins cher. Cette fraude a été remarquée dans plusieurs bistrots de la capitale, notamment dans des quartiers touristiques.Résultat : plusieurs d'entre eux semblent avoir eu recours à cette méthode afin de gonfler leurs bénéfices – alors même que le vin constitue déjà une source très importante de marge –, au détriment du consommateur. Acte involontaire du serveur ou intention délibérée ?Dans ce nouvel épisode de Parlons Vin, la journaliste Alicia Dorey vous dévoile une technique de restaurateurs frauduleuse, pratiquée dans plusieurs établissement parisiens.Et n'oubliez pas : parlons peu mais Parlons Vin !Vous pouvez écouter cet épisode sur Figaro Radio, le site du Figaro et sur toutes les plateformes d'écoutes.Voix : Alicia DoreyMontage : Antoine Lion-RantyPrise de son : Louis ChabainProduction exécutive : Aude Sérès, rédactrice en chef, pôle audio Le FigaroCoordination de production : Pôle audio Le FigaroCommunication : Réseaux sociaux Le FigaroVisuel & habillage : Studio design Le FigaroHébergé par Ausha.

Nous avons enregistré cette semaine notre 1er webinaire "Comment concilier rentabilité et qualité dans la restauration ?" avec Crislaine Medina (Le Cheval d'Or), Camille Guillaud (Candide) et Nicolas Alary (Holybelly). Si vous l'avez raté, on vous invite à visionner le replay >> www.businessofbouffe.com/webinarEt pour l'occasion, on rediffuse notre épisode (collector !) avec Sarah Mouchot et Nicolas Alary, les fondateurs des restaurants Holybelly à Paris. En seulement quelques années, ils ont créé une véritable institution moderne, populaire et engagée, qui bouscule les codes de la restauration, notamment du petit-déjeuner. Pour co-animer cet épisode de Business of Bouffe, Philibert est accompagné d'Élisa Gautier, la fondatrice du restaurant Kiosk à Paris. À travers cet épisode, nous cherchons à comprendre les raisons du succès des restaurants Holybelly et plus précisément, comment Sarah et Nicolas ont repensé tous les codes et usages du métier pour proposer la meilleure expérience possible à leurs clients. Ainsi, dans un premier temps, nous revenons sur le parcours atypique de Sarah et Nicolas et en particulier leurs longs voyages initiatiques à Vancouver et Melbourne. Sans aucun doute, ces expériences dépaysantes et enivrantes ont été le déclic et la source d'inspiration de leur projet d'ouverture de restaurant à Paris. Pris de passion pour la culture du « breakfast » comme ils aiment le dire, ils ont pris le temps pendant ces voyages d'apprendre une autre façon de cuisiner, de servir le café (de spécialité évidemment !) et plus globalement d'accueillir et fidéliser les clients. Dans la seconde partie de l'épisode, nous profitons de la jeune, mais déjà riche, expérience de Sarah et Nicolas pour analyser les clés de leur réussite. On parle alors de leur exigence dans le sourcing des produits, de leur implication dans la gestion durable des équipes ou encore de l'extraordinaire communauté de « fans » qui les suit sur les réseaux sociaux.Cet épisode a été enregistré avec la participation exceptionnelle de Sarah Mainguy (Vacarme), Thomas Lehoux (Chanceux) et Pierre Lebrun (Le Parti du Thé).

In the restaurant world, infant mortality is the norm. Nearly two-thirds of new eateries shut down in their first year. Only one in five lives to see its fifth birthday. So when a restaurant—not just any restaurant, but a plant-based fine-dining spot—thrives for decades, it's not just impressive. It's almost mythic. Enter Rich Landau and Kate Jacoby, the married duo behind Vedge, the acclaimed Philadelphia restaurant that's helped redefine what plant-based food can be. With nods from Bon Appétit, GQ, Food & Wine, and the James Beard Foundation, Rich and Kate have built more than a restaurant—they've built a movement. One that proves vegetables don't need to play second fiddle—they can own the stage. Now, I don't know how these two do it. My wife and I love each other, but even the suggestion of collaborating on a work project sends us both reaching for diplomatic escape routes. Yet somehow, Rich and Kate not only run a business together—they do it with passion, purpose, and of course, with pastry. Rich got his start in the '90s with Horizons, a bold bet on vegetable-forward cuisine back when people didn't even know how to pronounce “vegan,” let alone what it meant. Kate joined with a background in hospitality, bringing a refined palate and a pastry chef's touch. But this episode isn't just about food. It's about values. About running toward the hard stuff. About how two people built something meaningful—together—and stuck with it through all the chaos the restaurant industry throws your way. If you're a foodie, an entrepreneur, or just a fan of staying married while doing the impossible—this one's for you.

Cette semaine, « Le Goût de M » raconte le goût d'un lieu. Et pas n'importe lequel puisqu'il s'agit de Septime, l'un des meilleurs restaurants au monde : le 11e en 2024, selon le classement 50 Best. Septime, c'est un bistrot à la cuisine d'auteur, auréolé d'une étoile au Guide Michelin. Situé dans le 11e arrondissement de Paris, il est devenu, depuis son ouverture en avril 2011, une des tables les plus convoitées de la capitale.Septime, dont le nom fait référence au patronyme de Louis de Funès dans le film « Le Grand Restaurant », a été pensé et créé par deux amis : Bertrand Grébaut, le chef, ancien graphiste passé entre autres par L'Arpège d'Alain Passard après avoir fait l'école Ferrandi, et Théo Pourriat, qui s'occupe de tout ce qui ne se mange pas. Tous deux avaient le désir de monter un lieu à l'atmosphère bistrot, loin des nappes blanches, de la moquette épaisse et des carafes en cristal. Un restaurant dans l'esprit du Chateaubriant d'Iñaki Aizpitarte, chez qui ils allaient régulièrement dîner.Ils nous reçoivent à l'intérieur de leur restaurant lumineux, au style industriel, autrefois lieu de réparation pour machines à écrire et magasin de luminaires. Dans ce lieu intime et chaleureux, avec cuisine ouverte, ils reviennent sur les difficultés qu'ils ont rencontrées au début de leur aventure : la pression liée au succès du restaurant comme les hésitations avant de trouver un style unique dans les assiettes, une cuisine fraîche, incisive, épicurienne et engagée.Cet épisode a été publié le 2 mai 2025.Depuis six saisons, la journaliste et productrice Géraldine Sarratia interroge la construction et les méandres du goût d'une personnalité. Qu'ils ou elles soient créateurs, artistes, cuisiniers ou intellectuels, tous convoquent leurs souvenirs d'enfance, tous évoquent la dimension sociale et culturelle de la construction d'un corpus de goûts, d'un ensemble de valeurs.Un podcast produit et présenté par Géraldine Sarratia (Genre idéal), préparé avec l'aide de Diane Lisarelli et de Juliette SavardRéalisation : Emmanuel BauxMusique : Gotan Project Hébergé par Audion.

Nous sommes aujourd'hui avec une figure singulière de la scène gastronomique parisienne. Véritable restaurateur au sens noble du terme, il a rafraîchi le style des cafés et bistrots parisiens. Notre invité est Charles Compagnon, le propriétaire des restaurants le Richer, le 52 et le Café Compagnon. Pour co-animer ce nouvel épisode de Business of Bouffe, Philibert est accompagné d'Élisa Gautier, la fondatrice du restaurant Kiosk à Paris.À travers ce podcast et l'exemple original de Charles Compagnon, nous cherchons à mieux comprendre le métier de restaurateur. Très présent dans ses établissements, tel un aubergiste des temps modernes, Charles a su, au fil des années, créer des lieux vivants et avec une âme !Dans un 1er temps, Charles nous raconte son enfance entre Paris et le Cantal, où son grand père auvergnat lui transmet son amour du terroir. Enfant dissipé, sa mère l'oriente vers une école hôtelière. Au-delà de la cuisine et des bons produits, Charles se passionne pour le service et s'intéresse plus globalement à tous les métiers du restaurant. Ses premières expériences, notamment auprès de Jean-Louis Costes, confirment sa vocation : Charles sera restaurateur !Ensemble, nous retraçons ensuite l'ouverture de ses premiers restaurants. Les enjeux changent d'échelle : le restaurateur devient chef d'entreprise ! Sans fonds propres ni investisseurs, il nous explique comment il a réussi à racheter L'Office, l'un "des petits plus restaurants parisiens" comme il s'amuse à le rappeler. Il y crée un lieu à son image avec une cuisine exigeante mais accessible, un sourcing de qualité, et une carte des vins audacieuse. Les ouvertures se succèdent : le Richer, puis le 52. À chaque fois, Charles crée des brasseries repensées où il affine son concept de "brastronomie". Ces lieux sans réservation, ouverts du matin au soir, rencontrent un immense succès. Une nouvelle approche de la restauration naît, alliant cuisine de qualité, ambiance de bistrot et service flexible.Enfin, Charles nous raconte l'ouverture de ce qui deviendra son plus grand restaurant (et sa plus grande fierté) : le Café Compagnon. On découvre surtout une nouvelle facette du restaurateur.Sa curiosité sans limite l'a poussé à créer sa propre bière artisanale, à torréfier son café et même à acquérir des vignes. Pour lui, chaque étape de la production est un terrain d'expérimentation et de maîtrise. Son objectif : produire pour mieux comprendre, transmettre et créer du lien avec ses équipes et ses clients. Cette quête incessante de qualité et d'excellence se nourrit de rencontres avec des artisans passionnés, renforçant son approche unique de la restauration.Cet épisode a été enregistré avec la participation exceptionnelle d'Emmanuel Rubin et Nicolas Berger.
