Pim Techamuanvivit left a career in Silicon Valley to become one of the most important Thai chefs working today. She's self-taught and runs Michelin-starred kitchens on two continents at San Francisco's Kin Khao and Nari and Bangkok's Nahm. Her new book, Cooking Thai, is the result of writing down everything she had to figure out on her own. It's a remarkable book, and you should pick it up. Pim joins the show to talk about her amazing journey from working in tech to opening her first restaurant—her first restaurant job—and translating her iconic restaurant dishes for the home cook. Also on the show, I have a great conversation with Gidon Coll of the Hudson Valley Apple Project. If you love apples as much as I do, you will want to listen to this conversation. We talk about Gidon's work growing heirloom and obscure varieties of apple, and we discuss his truly amazing farm visits. You should book tickets while they are still available.  Subscribe: ⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠, ⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠, ⁠⁠YouTube Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tablet POS systems are everywhere, but are they actually killing hospitality?Systems like Toast and Square, Management loves the mobility, but servers are losing the rhythm of hospitality, eye contact, and the ability to multitask across multiple tables.We cover why table side payment sounds great in theory but slows down split checks, why that "accuracy" claim is a myth, and why looking at a screen is making service feel like self checkout. Plus the cracked screens, dead batteries, and menu digging that wastes time you should spend with guests.If you work in restaurants, use a restaurant pos system, or are deciding on a POS system for your restaurant, this is the server truth no sales demo will tell you.#restaurantlife #serverlife Do you love or hate tablet POS systems?

Day means • The suspended door-vault coaster and its first-of-its-kind vertical lift • Why the coaster will not be ready when parts of the land open in 2027 • “Welcome to Monstropolis,” featuring a new song by Randy Newman • The Glob Theater show starring Mike and Sulley • Harryhausen's Restaurant and its Audio-Animatronics sushi chef • Archie's Scare Pig Pizza and the Monsters University Alumni Club • Shopping at the Scareporium • The bittersweet reality of Monstropolis replacing the former Muppets area • Why this could transform how families plan their Disney's Hollywood Studios days Monstropolis is shaping up to be much more than a new attraction.

Most restaurant owners say they want managers who take ownership, show initiative and solve problems without a phone call. What they often build instead are managers who wait for permission. In episode 158 of “The Restaurant Prosperity Formula” podcast, I break down why knowing your systems isn't the same as knowing how to think, and I walk through the progression every manager needs to move through: knowledge, thinking, judgment and, finally, independence. Listeners will learn a five-question framework for coaching decisions in real time, how to tell the difference between a mistake and negligence, why reviewing decisions after the fact builds judgment faster than any training manual and why letting a manager make a different choice than you would isn't automatically a problem.

This month, we're welcoming the team from Shell to Shore, an Athens-based oyster shell recycling initiative that works with restaurants across the state of Georgia to rebuild shorelines.Oysters -- the same kind you slurp down as an appetizer at that restaurant downtown -- have incredible potential for fighting sea level rise. In the wild, oysters build reefs together, with baby oysters settling on the old shells of bivalves past and offering a tough breakwater to stabilize shorelines and slow waves hitting the beach.With the help of Shell to Shore, those restaurant oyster shells don't go in the trash -- instead, they get taken back to the coast to help restore coastal ecosystems. With a little help from their engineering friends, the Shell to Shore team is now developing restoration projects with community members at locations like Sapelo Island, Georgia. This episode is all about lessons learned, how to scale up from starting at home, and of course, plenty of oyster fun facts.Featuring:Brock Woodson, co-director of IRIS and UGA professor of engineeringTyler Leslie, Executive Director and co-founder of Shell to ShoreNik Heynen, UGA professor of geography and Director of Education for Shell to ShoreHunt Revell, environmental attorney and President and co-founder of Shell to ShoreBrock's Haiku:Oysters depletedonce abundant, soon restoredprotecting our shoresLearn more about S2S at https://www.shelltoshore.com/ Donate here: https://givebutter.com/S2Sdonate Get in touch: https://www.shelltoshore.com/contact-us

Nvidia posted a $96.2 billion quarter, forecast another year of major growth, and set off a conversation about whether the AI buildout is a durable boom or a hyperscaler-funded bubble. Ricker and Bon also get into the reported Nvidia and Hugging Face deal, what open-source AI infrastructure actually means, and why the gap between people who use AI fluently and those who do not may keep widening.They unpack the reported autonomous OpenAI breach of Hugging Face and the state investigations that followed. The conversation turns to whether AI companies, governments and ordinary businesses understand what agents can do when they can work directly with files and systems instead of being limited to a traditional interface.The Pentagon's blacklisting of Anthropic gets a closer look after a federal judge ruled against it. Ricker and Bon talk through Anthropic's limits on surveillance and autonomous-weapons use, the government's response, and what it says about the demand for frontier AI tools.Trump's proposed 50% tariffs on Canadian autos, parts and steel lead into a conversation about who ultimately pays when a tightly connected supply chain gets hit. They also cover Iran, natural-disaster anxiety, California earthquake scenarios and why a movie like The Dog Stars can make a normal afternoon feel much less normal.Then it is time for restaurant-business analysis. Jersey Mike's, Dave's Hot Chicken, Yum Brands, Blackstone, private equity, celebrity investors, food stocks and the surprisingly serious question of whether restaurant food is mostly mid all make the cut.The episode also includes a Ridley Scott movie review, a detour into the Google AI experience, the evolution of phones and streaming, and the usual weekend conversation.Chapters:0:00 Episode open and The Dog Stars3:16 Nvidia, Hugging Face and the weekly tech rundown10:00 The tech bubble, New York and Silicon Valley14:20 Nvidia's $96.2B quarter and Canadian tariffs18:40 Anthropic, the Pentagon and AI use limits28:42 Reported OpenAI breach of Hugging Face31:00 AI agents, the GUI and the AI skills gap35:00 Nepal, natural disasters and California earthquake fears40:00 Jersey Mike's, private equity and food stocks49:00 Dave's Hot Chicken, Yum Brands and Pepsi55:00 Restaurant takes and the cheeseburger origin story60:00 Basketball stories, The Weeknd and streaming music66:00 Phones, AI and what comes after the iPhoneFollow Ricker and Bon:http://instagram.com/rickerandbonhttp://tiktok.com/@rickerandbonhttps://youtube.com/@rickerandbonhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0n1m0eR2sYZU2EFhSwlqX1https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ricker-and-bon/id1367523204

What happens when you stop living the life you think you're supposed to live and fully bet on yourself? Olivia Tiedemann's path to becoming a private chef and building an audience of millions was anything but planned. After a turbulent adolescence, she traveled to a remote island in Madagascar, found her way into restaurant kitchens, attended culinary school in Ireland, and spent years working in an industry that she loved but eventually left her burned out and deeply unhappy. Olivia shares what led her to walk away, how being diagnosed with Hashimoto's forced her to pay closer attention to her body and food, and how reclaiming her health created space for the next version of her life. We also talk about the private-chef opportunity that changed everything, the first cooking video she almost didn't post, her creative process, navigating sudden attention, and why success has not changed the way she wants to work or live. In this episode: Olivia's nonlinear path into cooking Leaving New York to volunteer in Madagascar at 18 Restaurant culture, burnout, and walking away Her Hashimoto's diagnosis and personal health journey Learning how different foods affected her body Becoming a private chef in the Hamptons Creating the videos that changed her career Going from relative anonymity to an audience of millions Protecting creativity from views, expectations, and outside pressure Her upcoming cookbook and Bite Me series Why letting go can create room for something better Follow Olivia Tiedemann: Instagram: instagram.com/oliviatied TikTok: ‪@livforpasta‬ Follow Mary Shenouda: Instagram: instagram.com/paleochef Eat Play Crush: https://eatplaycrush.com Olivia's experience with Hashimoto's, fasting, and dietary changes is personal to her.

When revenue drops, I know the first instinct is usually to get more customers through the door. But what if you're trying to market your way out of the wrong problem?In this episode, I break down why increasing your guest check average can be one of the fastest ways to grow revenue without spending more money on traffic or marketing.I get into how to benchmark your check average, when your team should prompt the second round, how menu price anchoring can influence what guests spend, and where small changes in the guest journey can help you make more from the customers you already have. Because before you spend more money trying to fill more seats, make sure you're getting the most from the seats you've already filled.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Wendy's ongoing executive turnover, Taco Bell's celebrity partnership, and sales data that's good news for independent restaurants. First up is Wendy's, which announced that Tariq Hassan — formerly chief marketing and customer experience officer at McDonald's — would be joining the company as chief marketing and customer growth officer. It continues the shakeup at Wendy's under new CEO Bob Wright, who told the Wall Street Journal this week that previous leadership had been more committed to cost cutting than quality. Sam and Alicia discuss Hassan's hire and other changes that could be putting Wendy's on the right track. Next they look at Wendy's competitors McDonald's and Burger King, and particularly how they're doubling down on their chicken nuggets. McDonald's brought back its Spicy Chicken McNuggets for the first time in six years — and perhaps it's not a coincidence that it's at the same time that Burger King announced it had upgraded its own chicken nuggets so that they include 100% white meat chicken and a crispier breading. Why the sudden attention on chicken nuggets? Sam and Alicia break it down. They then shift their attention to Taco Bell, which introduced a new Baja Blast in partnership with pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo. The You Seem Pretty Pink for a Baja Blast will initially be available at Taco Bell's Live Mas Cafe locations before rolling out nationwide. Sam and Alicia discuss why this partnership is different than other celebrity collaborations, and why authenticity is so important for brands looking to leverage partnerships for their marketing. New sales data shows that independent restaurants may be faring better than chains with consumers' recent foodservice spend, and Sam and Alicia break that down next. Data from Bank of America shows that consumer spending on restaurants is up, but while fast-food, fast-casual, and casual chains are only experiencing increases of less than a percentage point, indies and regional concepts are enjoying gains around 4%. Why is that? They look into the data and what historical clues can tell us.They close things out with a Quick Fire round of headlines, including Chipotle's popular BOGOs, Pizza Hut's NFL campaign, Papa Johns' PopUp Bagels partnership, and Chick-fil-A's closure of its Little Blue Menu concept. For more on these stories: Wendy's names Tariq Hassan chief marketing and customer growth officerTaco Bell enlists Olivia Rodrigo to co-create Baja Blast iterationConsumers are spending more at restaurants, but not at chains

693. Part 2 of our conversation with Patricia Knight Meyer about her adoption. In her gripping memoir, Wonderland: Memoir of a Black Market Adoption, Patricia unravels the complex and harrowing story of her origins within a illegal adoption ring, exploring the deep psychological ripple effects of a childhood built on hidden truths. Raised under the shadow of secrecy, Meyer masterfully weaves personal memory, investigative persistence, and raw emotional vulnerability to illuminate how illicit adoptions break identity apart and how truth can ultimately piece it back together. Her voice brings vital light to the silenced histories of black market adoptees, offering listeners a compelling exploration of belonging, family ties, and the relentless search for self-discovery.

A Scribe Called Quess? “Education.”     As recently as October of 2009, a group of teachers imported from the Philippines pressed charges for being treated like… and paid no more than… indentured servants. My only question… what the hell were they doing here in the first place? I'm here… more than apt and completely capable of teaching children that look just like I did 20 years ago… and now walk a similar path     But in the game of political ponzi that is Post-Katrina, New Orleans… it's bigger than books and study baby… EDUCATION IS BIG BUSINESS! Unions are shut down wholesale… veteran teachers fired before they can cash in on their pensions — God forbid healthcare… Teachers are outsourced… bussed in — flown in — hell!
