Extra Serving
Puzzling over restaurants' strange Q2, featuring CAVA, Red Robin, Chili's, and more

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso try to dissect 2025's bizarre second quarter and the flashing warning signs that the industry sees in consumer behavior. First up is an analysis of CAVA, which was once a sure-fire success but which experienced a more or less flat quarter, sending its stock price plummeting. Combined with the struggles at Chipotle and Sweetgreen, fast casual is suddenly showing signs of weakness — but why? Sam and Alicia discuss. Next they drill deeper into consumer behavior and the “choppiness” that restaurant executives see in their performance. What exactly do consumers seem to want in their restaurant experiences today? And what other headwinds should operators expect in 2025? Oh and then there's Chili's, the runaway success story of 2025; Sam and Alicia talk about yet another huge quarter at the Brinker brand, which is proving to be a case study in successfully revamping a company's operations and marketing. Finally, tune in to a conversation between senior food and beverage editor Bret Thorn and John Karangis, vice president of culinary at Shake Shack. For more on these stories: CAVA struggles to compete with its beef launch from 2024Restaurant companies sound the alarm on consumer behaviorChili's ends third year of turnaround with 23.7% same-store sales growth in 4Q

Growth Roadmap: coltivar.comMajor moves and market momentum in this week's top financial stories, including:Producer Prices Pop to a 3-Year HighBessent's Bold Push for Big Fed CutsFast-Casual Chains Lose Their SizzleSouthwest Ends Open Seating, and a StrategyAmazon Doubles Down on Grocery DominationUlta and Target Break Up the Beauty AisleFinWeekly has the latest updates on market-shaping headlines and business strategy insights: July's Producer Price Index surprised markets, jumping 0.9% month-over-month, the fastest core gain in over three years. With consumer prices also running hot, inflation may be reaccelerating just as the Fed prepares to cut rates. Businesses are already feeling the squeeze and may pass higher costs to consumers, setting up a tricky fall for policymakers.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is urging the Fed to move faster, calling for a half-point cut in September and 150 basis points total over the coming months. That's well below market expectations and adds even more weight to Powell's August 22 Jackson Hole speech.In the restaurant world, Cava, Sweetgreen, and Chipotle all posted disappointing Q2 results as lunch traffic cooled and budget-conscious customers pulled back. It's a reminder that even cult-favorite brands aren't immune to a consumer slowdown.Meanwhile, Southwest Airlines is ending its decades-old open seating policy, trading boarding speed and customer loyalty for assigned-seat upsells, a shift that could erode one of its core strategic advantages.Amazon is pushing deeper into grocery with same-day fresh delivery in 1,000 cities this year and 2,300 by the end of 2025, a direct challenge to an industry built on razor-thin margins.And in retail, Ulta Beauty and Target will end their shop-in-shop partnership by August 2026, with Ulta focusing on standalone growth and Target looking to fill the beauty gap through private-label and new brand partnerships.Tune in for strategic insight, smart commentary, and the financial context you need to lead in a changing world — only on FinWeekly._______________________________________Disclaimer:BYFIQ, LLC is a wholly owned entity of Coltivar Group, LLC.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the whopping 18 companies that reported earnings last week, from the good (McDonald's, Applebee's, Dutch Bros, Taco Bell, and BJ's) to the bad (Pizza Hut and KFC) to the very bad (Wendy's, Jack in the Box, and Sweetgreen). Alicia connects the dots on how the companies that are focusing on their core menu items are thriving, while those that are innovating at a more rapid pace are actually creating too much noise for their customers. Sam and Alicia also talk about the fact that casual dining seems to be performing better by comparison, while limited service is struggling to find a foothold — even in an increasingly value-conscious world. Plus, they discuss the headwinds that continue to face the industry and how there's no signs of a quick turnaround for those brands that are struggling.

Well nerds, buckle up for this one. My buddy Ryan Burge has returned with his latest graphs about religion and the 2024 election, and let me tell you - it was zesty. We started talking about minor league baseball, chicken raising, and somehow ended up dissecting why 83% of white evangelicals voted for Trump (spoiler: it's not shocking). Ryan breaks down the real story of the 2024 election - how non-white evangelicals are now 50/50, why mainline Protestants aren't actually that liberal, and the fascinating shifts happening in the Catholic vote. We dive into the data that shows education and church attendance create some pretty stark political divides, and why Democrats might want to rethink their approach to people of faith. But this is us, so we also talked about LeBron's hair transplants, whether 100 men could take down a silverback gorilla, why online gambling is destroying America, and Ryan's ongoing campaign to get academics to eat at steakhouses instead of Sweet Green. Plus, Ryan explains why Mark Driscoll might be the godfather of the manosphere, and we debate whether Joe Scarborough and Mika have the worst work schedule in television. Oh, and we somehow got into a deep discussion about Mayor Pete's beard and why Democrats need to learn how to talk about their faith without sounding like they're apologizing for it. Because apparently that's where our brains go. Want the full conversation? This is just a taste of what we covered in over two hours of completely unhinged discussion.

Ube, the photogenic purple sweet potato from the Philippines, has been trending gradually in the United States. It got a boost recently when it made it onto the menu of the three Starbucks Reserve Roastery locations in Chicago, New York, and Seattle where it's added to a coconut cold foam and spooned over an Espresso Martini.Pat Cobe, senior menu editor of Restaurant Business, and Bret Thorn, senior food & beverage editor of Nation's Restaurant News and Restaurant Hospitality, discussed the ube phenomenon, which also came up in Pat's conversation with the operators of Tous Les Jours, a Korean-based pastry concept that's growing quickly in the United States. Pat said they see ube and another trending Asian ingredient, matcha, as points of distinction for the brand.Speaking of trends and Korean food, Bret went to a preview of a collab between fast-casual salad chain Sweetgreen and fine-dining Korean steakhouse Cote. Sweetgreen has collaborated with fine-dining chefs in the past, including Dan Barber of Blue Hill and Nancy Silverton of Mozza, and this new one features Korean sauces and marinades that are used in three limited-time offers: Two salads and a more substantial plate.The LTOs expand on Sweetgreen's introduction of steak last year—another trend in fast-casual restaurants. While chicken, always popular, is gaining even further traction at limited-service restaurants, Pat and Bret discussed how steak really shines as LTOs, including these new ones at Sweetgreen and the Steak Stroganoff at Noodles & Company, which was discussed during that chain's recent earnings call as a reason for the fast casual's relative success during the first quarter. Bret also sampled the returning Campfire menu at Cracker Barrel. It's become a harbinger of summer for the chain, which this year added a shrimp skillet with andouille sausage to the lineup. Bret also shared an interview with Indian chef Rasika Venkatesa, the former chef de cuisine of Mourad in San Francisco, who is now in New York City operating a series of pop-ups called Mythili, named for her grandmother. Venkatesa discussed her approach to cooking Indian food, and shared how she collected recipes from villagers from throughout the state of Tamil Nadu.

Kennedy and influencers bash seed oils, baffling nutrition scientists

Until recently, most Americans had never heard the term “seed oils,” even though they've likely cooked with and consumed them for decades. It's the catchy description coined by internet influencers, wellness gurus and some politicians to refer to common cooking oils—think canola, soybean and corn oil—that have long been staples in many home kitchens. Those fiery critics refer to the top refined vegetable oils as “the hateful eight” and claim that they're fueling inflammation and high rates of chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the new health secretary, has said Americans are being “unknowingly poisoned” by seed oils and has called for fast-food restaurants to return to using beef tallow or rendered animal fat in their fryers instead. In response to consumer concerns, some food makers have stripped seed oils from their products. Restaurants like the salad chain Sweetgreen have removed them from their menus. Many Americans say they now avoid seed oils, according to a recent survey from the International Food Information Council, an industry trade group. The seed oil discussion has exasperated nutrition scientists, who say decades of research confirm the health benefits of consuming such oils, especially in place of alternatives such as butter or lard. “I don't know where it came from that seed oils are bad,” said Martha Belury, an Ohio State University food science professor. In a Senate hearing, Dr. Marty Makary, nominated to lead the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, called for a closer review of the products. “I think seed oils are a good example of where we could benefit from a consolidation of the scientific evidence,” he said. Seed oils are composed mostly of unsaturated fatty acids, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Most seed oils are high in one type of fatty acid, omega-6, and low in another type, omega-3. Those fatty acids are essential for human health, but our bodies don't make them on their own, so we must get them from foods. Critics of seed oils make a range of claims that many scientists say are not borne out by research. This article was provided by The Associated Press.
