On this week's podcast, Pat Cobe, senior menu editor of Restaurant Business, and Bret Thorn, senior food & beverage editor of Nation's Restaurant News and Restaurant Hospitality, discuss recent eating adventures. Pat took the subway to Jackson Heights, a multicultural neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens. It's home to a large population of Nepalese and Tibetan families, and momos are one of their specialties. Momos are round or crescent-shaped steamed or fried dumplings with fillings of spiced beef, chicken, goat, chives or potato. Led by a friend who has sampled many a momo in the Himalayas, the group visited four restaurants and one food truck, tasting a good cross-section of dumplings. It was a new culinary experience for Pat and one she would like to repeat soon. Both Menu Talk hosts described their opulent Thanksgiving feasts, and Bret continued his feasting on Black Friday. He and a group of longtime friends have a tradition of visiting Chinatown after turkey day, and this year they started with soup dumplings at Joe's Shanghai, a spot famous for the item. They followed that with drinks at Whiskey Tavern, then soup at Great NY Noodletown. Bret admitted the day-after “feasting” has gotten a bit lighter through the years. Pat visited Baar Baar, a modern Indian restaurant in NYC's East Village, where she enjoyed a dinner of small plates and inventive cocktails. Among the standouts was Dahi Puri, tiny crisp rice shells filled with potato, cilantro and spices and topped with yogurt mousse and house-made chutney. Her Anarkali cocktail was an Indian-flavored riff on an Aperol Spritz; a combination of gin, Aperol, rose cordial, cardamom and prosecco. We moved on to chat about smoothies and bowls after playing clips from an interview with Deborah Von Kutzleben, CMO of Tropical Smoothie Café. She discussed how the chain differentiates itself from its competitors with an all-day menu, how it is positioning itself for Gen Z's snacking style, and how items like a pork slider are the perfect add-ons for a signature smoothie.

Charles Watson, CEO of Tropical Smoothie Café, talks about how the restaurant industry is uniquely positioned to make a difference on child hunger. “The American consumer is demanding and one of the things that they're demanding - which is good - is purpose,” says Watson. “[They'll] give you their money… but [they] also want to see that you're giving back and that you're doing something positive.” He proposed a "CEO Pledge to End Hunger" which aims to raise funds to support summer food programs, potentially preventing millions of children from going hungry. “We need sunshine, we need happiness, we need taking care of one another,” he concludes.

Clement Troutman, a Navy veteran and Tropical Smoothie Café franchisee in Maryland, says that “the free enterprise system is alive and well.”But, Troutman adds, “we need to really pursue that and go and chase those dreams.”“Because there are people waiting,” the restaurateur says. “The cures for cancer are out there, and, you know, we're sitting on the sidelines thinking that we don't have what it takes when we really do.”“So whatever it is you do, go ahead and go for your dreams because if I can do it, you can do it as well,” Troutman says.Troutman, a participant in a recent Heritage Foundation panel discussion and today's guest on “The Daily Signal Podcast,” also discusses the panel's topic: “Why Protecting Independence Is Vital for Opportunities and Flexibility.” (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)“When it comes to independence, this country was founded based on independence, right?” he says. “We innately want … freedom, and free enterprise is alive and well, and it's tied to that,” the founder of Troutman Alliance LLC adds. “Now, what does that mean? Well, [it's] the freedom to choose, the freedom to live life on our own terms, to go where we want to go,” On the podcast, Troutman discuss his businesses, his advice to those interested in opening their own business, and the Labor Department's recently proposed overtime rule.

Loons Need Long RunwaysNot many people in this world know that a loon is one of the few birds with solid bones, which makes them heavier than most birds of similar size. Still fewer would know what to do when a loon can’t take off from a lake that’s just beginning to freeze over entirely. Enter Mark Hennessy, loon-runway-builder. Or perhaps ice-breaker for loons should be his title. Clearly, this particular loon had decided to sleep in too late. Mark was in his favorite wilderness area in the world, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern Minnesota and knew that this loon would never get airborne if it didn’t have a long, ice-free, water runway for takeoff.So he did what any veteran of canoeing and outdoor travel in the wilderness would do, he got in his canoe and proceeded to clear out a path in the ice with his paddle. And sure enough that loon was able to use that temporary runway for a successful takeoff and headed straight for Florida and the Gulf of Mexico.And as observers of loon behavior know, that loon was most likely to fly right back at that very same lake – even that very same section of that lake, next year. Hopefully, with an alarm set for a few days before ice-in. The Need for AdventureMark Hennessy doesn’t have to think about why he likes to go outside. “Adventure.”He doesn’t hesitate. Mark not only likes outdoor adventure, he needs it. He seeks it out nearly every day for his physical, emotional and spiritual health. Certainly, his annual winter camping trip with friends in the remotest regions of northern Minnesota would qualify as adventure. “Winter” + “Camping” Does Not Equal CrazyWhen I remind him that people don’t usually put the words ‘winter’ and ‘camping’ together in the same sentence he admits that people do think he’s crazy. But this is the kind of crazy that I love. It’s the kind of crazy that inspires and it’s the kind of crazy we all should be looking into doing more. A LOT more. A Qualified Wonder GuideMark is, without a doubt, the most “extreme” outdoor adventurer I’ve had the pleasure to talk with as my Wonder Guide to date. By extreme I mean experienced and traveled. He’s hiked, canoed, paddled and otherwise been outside in North America his entire life. Bring Your CameraMark reminds me that one way to truly take a breath in the great outdoors is to bring your camera. Like me, Mark can be very focused on the goal at hand or the completion of a task. By having that camera with you, he says, your forced to take an important break and be truly present in your environment. His exceptional landscape photography can be found here: https://www.markhennessyphotography.com/My conversation with Mark is full of especially useful reminders for getting outside more easily, more often and more confidently. Mark reminds us that ‘transformational moments’ are just around the bend and that a little effort can lead to a life of wonder and meaning in the great outdoors.

Gus Rezende's life has been shaped by chance meetings with people who compliment his talents and bring about successful outcomes. A partner in Social Entertainment, Gus is a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and came to the United States in 1999 on a tennis scholarship at Georgia Southwestern State University. While teaching at a summer tennis camp in New York, Gus struck up a friendship with Chad Hebert, a Lafayette native. Chad encouraged him to travel to Lafayette to teach tennis in 2002 which led Gus to gain permanent employment at the City Club of River Ranch. He spent seven years working at the City Club overseeing events and marketing endeavors. The experience would prove to be valuable as he considered his career options. Today, Gus Rezende is a partner with BJ Crist in Social Entertainment and they co-own CENTRAL Pizza & Bar, four Tropical Smoothie Café locations, and Dix “Almost Famous Daiquiris. They were also co-owners of Jefferson Street Pub which has recently been sold. B. J. Crist and Gus met, by chance, at the first Tropical Smoothie Café that Gus opened in River Ranch. While that location did not turn out to be a successful site, the two men became friend and partners. They learned together what restaurant concepts work through trial and error. (The team behind CENTRAL Pizza & Bar includes Collin Cormier of Pop's Po'boys, Michael Delcambre of The Greenroom, and John Peterson of Swamp Pop Soda.) Gus's newest restaurant, Tula Tacos + Amigos, is scheduled to open in downtown Lafayette in June 2019. Located two doors down from Central Pizza, at the old "Frankie's Burger," it's a concept from the heart that celebrates bringing people together to enjoy tacos and each other in an authentic Mexico City style. The restaurant is intended to feel like Coastal California while the patrons enjoy true Mexican authentic fare. Social Entertainment is known for its skill in coordinating events such as Uncle Sam’s Jam, Concerts at Couret Farms, and the Acadiana Po-boy Festival, as well as Bubbles and Brunch on May 18 at Sugar Mill Pond and the Mother’s Day Drag Brunch at Jefferson Street Pub. In 2016, Social Entertainment was honored as the Start-Up Business of the Year, and this year, Gus was named the 2019 Rising Young Business Leader, both awards being given at the Junior Achievement’s annual Business Halls of Fame. For more information, visit https://www.socialentertainment.net. In 2018, Gus Rezende became a U. S. Citizen. As many other immigrants in the U. S. experience, Gus came here legally yet found it a challenge to keep his status legal. He is grateful for the gift of citizenship and stays actively engaged in civic endeavors and in working to see downtown Lafayette reinvigorated. This podcast is worth a listen to hear Gus speak of learning from failure, the importance of community involvement at the local level, and the many reasons that a downtown core is important to the region's successful development.
