Podcasts about tender greens

Spring brings a lot of menu activity, and the most recent launches show a focus on upgraded ingredients and formats. Menu Talk hosts Bret Thorn, senior food & beverage editor of Nation's Restaurant News and Restaurant Hospitality, and Pat Cobe, senior menu editor of Restaurant Business, noted Maggiano's updates, which include Wagyu meatballs and Chicken Parmesan topped with freshly grated cheese.  Bret also cited Tender Greens' menu upgrades, which include the artisan Laura Chenel goat cheese as an ingredient, along with heirloom cherry tomatoes and Great Northern beans. The pair also observed more fresh vegetables on menus, with carrots—an everyday veggie—getting treated to some fancy preparations at restaurants. Another trend that's gaining steam is happening at Italian concepts. Your Pie is doing pizza shop sandwiches, filling their proprietary pizza dough with various ingredients and baking them into portable, handheld items. All have sauces based on ranch, America's favorite sauce flavor, it seems.The duo also shared an interview with Scott Davis, chief concept officer for Noodles & Company, the fast casual that just experienced a major menu upgrade two years in the making. Davis talks about how he and his culinary team responded to customers' cravings for more generous portions of sauce, more mac ‘n cheese variations, more protein and more bold, global flavors. All of those show up in the new menu additions. Give a listen.

Darden is pursuing another big casual-dining acquisition. Domino's earnings were good, but Wall Street's reaction was bad. And another small restaurant company has filed for bankruptcy.

De Niro: confirmed mook. "Now take me to jail." - D Trump. Tender Greens? More like Tender GROANS. Vinnie gets to write for Mike Tyson. I went to see Dick Tracy and a movie called Come And See, and I had two what Sallah from Indiana Jones would call "Bad dates." 

Menu editors Pat Cobe and Bret Thorn were among the guests who celebrated the winners of the 2024 MenuMasters awards on Saturday. We were in the thick of the event at Morgan Manufacturing in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood, sampling the chef-prepared food at the various stations and talking to the eight chefs honored this year. Chef and restaurateur Nancy Silverton was inducted into the MenuMasters Hall of Fame, and we talk on the podcast about her accomplishments as a chef and restaurateur. She was particularly touched to receive an award from the industry, and commented on how these awards celebrate the diversity of restaurants represented at the ceremony. Other winners included fast casuals Cava and Tender Greens, quick-service players Del Taco and McDonald's and casual-dining concept Fogo de Chao. Indian entrepreneur Meherwan Irani and digital cooking guru Samuel “Sam the Cooking Guy” Zien were also honored, further reflecting that diversity. We also dish on the wild MenuMasters “after party,” where special effects, music, dancing and more food and drinks kept guests hopping until almost midnight. MenuMasters took place during the National Restaurant Show, so we roamed the exhibits and chatted about our favorite tastes, sips and happenings.

This week's guest is long-time chef Erik Oberholtzer, co-founder of Tender Greens, a revolutionary “fast casual” food brand. Now, as managing partner at Cohere, he helps other founders scale food brands making a positive impact. But before finding success as a chef, entrepreneur, and author, Erik was at Temple University working towards an undergrad psychology degree. In need of money, he took a concierge job at the Four Seasons Hotel in Philadelphia. The position required someone well-informed on the city's culinary scene – the best restaurants, bars, cocktail lounges – so Erik immersed himself in that world.The experience ignited a newfound passion for food, and soon Erik was off to culinary school and much, much more. Join us to hear how Erik found himself on a mission to democratize food.

This week on The Bliss Project Podcast, we're excited to share Episode 33: Disrupting Old Patterns to Find Happiness and Take Ownership of Your Life with Chris Plourde. Chris is a Los Angeles-based Conscious Performance Coach, Consultant, Speaker, Mind-Body, Breathwork, and Meditation instructor with over 23 years of experience. He's traveled both nationally and internationally speaking and educating on the physical, mental and emotional aspects of wellness & life. He has created, presented and coached hundreds of retreats and workshops for a variety of well-known companies and organizations, such as Walt Disney, Equinox, Tender Greens, and many more. Chris has mentored and consulted with celebrities, business executives, top fitness professionals and military special ops personnel. As a former Chief Executive with Men's Teams and Organizations, he has mentored many men to find their authentic selves and create leadership qualities that they could bring to their families, communities and businesses. Chris' goal is to help individuals and organizations gain clarity, work towards what they want in life, create new habits and get into massive action by unleashing the greatness that is already there and owning their unique stories. He believes freedom is “an inside job” and it's our relationship with circumstances and people in our lives that sometimes need a perspective shift. In the episode we discuss: How his passion for coaching has been the thread that has led him to help others find their why. Unraveling what we don't want to what we do want and finding the joy. How fitness was a gateway to something deeper. Triggers and how we can begin to heal them by healing the past. How suffering to prove worth, does not necessarily equal happiness. Being a Projector and how we all have had to decondition “forcing” things. The men's work he's been involved in and how it's helped so much with his growth. What the safe masculine is. The beauty of the Journey Space, his experience and his work as a facilitator. How this space can have a profound effect on healing the past- going from victim to owner of your life. His advice in creating your own Bliss.

Not sure how many San Diego restaurants have a real, bonafide Shepard Fairey art piece—sanctioned by the artist, famous for his propaganda art like the Obey (Andre the Giant) and Hope (Obama) series—but Shank & Bone in North Park is one of them. So technically the Vietnamese restaurant is a pretty notable art gallery. Their pho sure is some art. So are their fish sauce chicken wings, salty and sweet. In our June “Best Restaurants” issue, Shank was named readers' choice for Best Vietnamese and my pick for Best Pho. And on today's podcast Han Tran comes on to share her story—how her parents came over as refugees from Vietnam. She grew up in City Heights, where her mom ran a bakery and cafe. “It was known for the strongest Vietnamese coffee in town,” she says. “Just rocket fuel. In our culture, the cafe scene is mostly men. Women walk in and the needle on the record scratches. But mom ran it. She's tough. Cafes are really popular in the Vietnamese community, but ours was different because we had good food.” Han was raised in this food culture, saw how much her parents worked. Nonstop. The restaurant was their life, their stable place in a new world. And so the daughter went to SDSU with not less than zero interest in running a restaurant, but running very fast the other way. And then her and her husband, Jay Choy, bought a sushi joint, Ebisu Sushi. “We had no idea how to run it,” she says. And yet they did, for 16 years. They opened Shank & Bone because they wanted to take the Vietnamese food Han grew up with, but crank it up, use better ingredients, bring the modern better-food ethos to dishes of her youth. And, well, she took some flak. Some in the Viet community went after her because of the Fairey artwork, which shows a Viet girl holding a gun with a flower in the end of it. “Vietnamese immigrants are all obviously anti-communism—so there was a rumor going around that some communist had come to North Park and opened this restaurant,” she laughs. “And the funny thing is, the image of the woman looks almost identical to a picture of my mom from the refugee camp.” She and her husband also took flak for the price of their pho—$17 when they opened, $20 now. The reason? They invested in better ingredients, and they crammed their broth with two, three times the amount of bones to ratchet up the flavor (thus why the pho is so good). They invested in artwork and a storefront right on University Ave. All things that cost money. Shank's done just fine now. People showed up, keep showing up. In “Hot Plates,” we talk about the impending sale of Stone Brewing to Sapporo U.S.A.; how the city is now starting to enforce permits for the parklets restaurants built during the pandemic, and how very few restaurants have even bothered to apply; and the arrival of Northern California's white-hot Filipino bakery chain, Starbread. For “Two People, Fifty Bucks,” David goes to a classic in North Park (Lucky's Golden Phoenix), Han professes her love for Mongolian Hot Pot; and I defend the honor of chain restaurants by naming one of my favorites for healthy meals (Tender Greens, run by San Diego chef Pete Balistreri). Go eat some pho. Noodles on the side (so they don't soak up too much of that broth, which is gold).

Join Jamie and Maggie Clark with their guest, Chris Plourde, as they talk about consciousness. Chris is a conscious performance coach and businessman. He explains why the way you approach one thing in life is the way you approach everything in life.   Breaking the Program Everyone is taught the same thing about life: study and get a job to be happy and successful. Chris followed that as what his parents, mentors, and the successful people they look up to said. He got a business degree and got into great companies, but, apparently, it was not for him. Chris got drained; something was missing. Eventually, he found his calling through the fitness industry, giving out advice to people on how to live better physically. If there is one thing missing from the program instilled in everyone, it is following where your calling is. Success is not just earning money – it is being happy with what you do.    Unleashing Gifts Everyone has gifts in them. The only thing stopping them is that they have not discovered those within them. That is where Chris comes in to help. The biggest thing for him is looking into people's lives and extracting the gifts they already have. He does not develop their gifts but rather unleashes them, so they live better. In doing so, Chris unlocks his clients' potential and leads them to be far more successful than before.   About Chris Plourde: Chris Plourde has over twenty years of experience in performance coaching for life and business, as well as broad-scope fitness training, leading him to work with top athletes, both professional and amateur, and well-known companies and organizations including Walt Disney, Equinox, Twitter, Explore (Anneberg Foundation), YPO-Young Presidents Organization chapters, Enterprise Car Rental, Tender Greens, Xerox and more. He coaches celebrities, executives, busy moms and dads, and even military Special Ops personnel in Los Angeles and throughout the world. He understands the mindset required to achieve higher productivity levels, whether in sales, production, or management. Previous corporate clients have reported a more than 30% increase in productivity after implementing his workshops and coaching.   Utilizing a holistic approach, Chris combines his proven techniques in motivation and goal-achievement, his expertise in Athletic and Mental performance, and extensive training in Breathwork and Mindfulness to transform individual clients, companies, and organizations alike. By addressing the nuances of both mind and body and how they affect performance, Chris's workshops impact the whole person, yielding tangible results that lead to maximum success.   Outline of the Episode: [00:49] The impetus for Chris becoming a conscious performance coach [05:10] How a conscious performance coach would approach psychic and mediumship gifts [11:42] Manifestation through vibing and thinking [16:14] Tools and techniques according to the person's comfort [21:57] What is Chris' purpose in this lifetime to help humanity [25:48] The consciousness of being present to take oneself out [30:10] Results, purpose, and context [38:42] How breath work affects the spirit-body-mind connection [43:11] Profound and successful experiences of clients from the coach's perspective   Resources: Website: https://www.chrisplourde.com/   Connect with Jamie and Maggie!

Erik Oberholtzer is a graduate of Johnson and Wales University and has worked in some of the best restaurants around the world. Today, he is a social entrepreneur and Co-founder of Tender Greens. Founded in 2006, Tender Greens is a fine casual restaurant that serves healthy, high-quality food at an affordable price, or in other words, slow food, done fast. In this episode, Erik teaches us about: achieving mindfulness through meditation; why it is important you know your why and to be able to communicate it to others; The power of combining partnerships with “knowing your lane”. In 2020 Erik and his partner walked away from Tender Greens to focus on their individual passions. For Erik, that was improving the broken food system.

With Excitement allow me to introduce today's guest Co-founder Korgen Hospitality Group and Author of The Surprise Restaurant Manager, Ken McGarrie. Ken is also the author of the book The Surprise Restaurant Manager. Ken McGarrie is the cofounder of Korgen Hospitality, a nationwide consulting firm dedicated to helping restauranteurs reach their absolute potential with effective leadership and maximum profitability. For the past two decades, he has helmed many successful restaurants, bars, and entertainment-based venues with a relentless focus on anticipatory service, staff empowerment, and attentive hospitality. He has helped launch new concepts and train hospitality leaders throughout the U.S. and Canada. After failing to start an exceptional college band with only average talent, Ken worked as a server/bartender while writing for magazines and newspapers. He started in management the same way that many people do – by surprise. When his GM asked if he would take a set of keys and open the restaurant on occasion, he was suddenly promoted to manager with no training or preparation, like so many others in the industry. Ken went on to open and manage numerous successful restaurants and entertainment venues. With Korgen Hospitality, he has an exceptional client list, including helping open over a dozen restaurants with Celebrity Chef Fabio Viviani nationwide. Show notes… Calls to ACTION!!!

With excitement, allow me to introduce to you today's guest, Owner of Mikey's Late Night Slice, Mikey Sorboro. Mikey started his entrepreneurial journey with a pedicab service in Columbus, OH. His next entrepreneurial journey was Mikey's Late Night Slight, which started in a shipment container. Today, Mickey's portfolio includes 6 Late Night Slice locations, one LNS food truck, 2 LNS concert venues, and two Odd Fellows Liquor Bar. In this episode, we're picking up where we left off. It's been almost 4 years since I last spoke to Mikey, and we're finding out what's happened since. The focus of the conversation is knowing your lane and strengths and avoiding what you're not good at and passionate about. Mikey also gives me a little advice on my own vision.
