In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Dave Paul, cofounder of Pluckers Wing Bar, a beloved sports bar concept in Texas with 32 locations in the Lone Star State. Pluckers is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year and has seen plenty of change in the chicken category as competitors like Raising Cane's, Chick-fil-A, and Wingstop have come to dominate the space. But Dave and his business partners are happy with their slow pace of growth as they double down on a high-quality, experience-driven offering, and today are seeing massive success with a paid loyalty program and a new value deal during the lunch daypart. Dave joined the podcast to talk about how Pluckers is generating value with its premium experience and how they've managed to secure 300,000 loyalty members even with a monthly fee.In this conversation, you'll find out why:Working in your restaurants is the perfect opportunity for market researchChicken is not the key differentiator in the chicken categoryCustomers simultaneously want simplicity and adventureOne of the best R&D strategies is listening to your guests Your value offerings should accommodate both new and loyal guestsIn-restaurant experiences count toward the value equationHave feedback or ideas for Take-Away?

McDonald's lore is old and enigmatic. Some say the coming of Ronald McDonald was foretold in the Bible. But none could foretell of the violent terrorism perpetrated by Grimace's uncle, Uncle O'Grimacey. This week on the podcast, Theo and Will talk about the phony reviews of the Drake Passage, if there is a male equivalent to Horoscope Girls, the return of McDonald's Uncle O'Grimacey, a Sinead O'Connor Bratz Doll in honor of Women's month, the statistics of how many people think they can fight dangerous animals, Wingstop auctions off year supply of ranch, and Will takes us through some Amazon Erotica with the “Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles” series, and an unusual death caused by toxic masculinity.

The Knicks have a major problem with OG Anunoby & Mikal Bridges regarding their offense. Defensively, they have played well but on offense they leave a lot to be desired. More Mikal Bridges than OG Anunoby. NY needs them to step up on offense and become more aggressive. That will cause the Pistons defense to collapse faster, allowing NY to score easier. But one other thing we have to acknowledge is the physicality of this series and it feels like a 90's game. It's without a doubt the most physical series of the postseason... Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down! SHOW CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Intro 00:46 - Knicks Need Mikal Bridges To Be More Aggressive 01:45 - Wingstop's FULL PLAY On Both Ends Is Important For This Team 03:45 - Physicality V Blatant Fouls Must Be The Difference 05:41 - Refs Trying To Balance The Game Calls During Each Quarter 07:49 - This Is NEW YORK's Time To Shine!

Antonio Swad, founder of Wingstop and Buzz Brands, joins hosts Carolyn Schnare and Harry Milloff, CEO of The Moseley Group, to share the unconventional story behind two boundary-pushing brands. From his early days at Wingstop revolutionizing wings at the center of the plate to exploding into the convenience landscape with a bold new CPG disruptor, Swad reveals how thinking differently—and not always listening to customers—can sometimes be the secret sauce to building a powerhouse franchise. With special guest: Antonio Swad, Founder of Wingstop and Buzz Brands Hosted by: Carolyn Schnare and Harry Milloff

Hosts Pat Cobe, senior menu editor of Restaurant Business, and Bret Thorn, senior food & beverage editor of Nation's Restaurant News and Restaurant Hospitality, had a busy week going to chain restaurants' promotional events in New York City.Pat had high tea featuring Portillo's menu items, and Bret went to a preview of the first United States location of Chinese chain Pull-Tab Coffee, whose signature menu item is a sort of reversed iced cappuccino: Coffee foam on top of milk on the rocks. He also went to Bar Tender, a two-day pop-up in Brooklyn created by Wingstop, featuring the chain's upgraded, crunchier chicken tenders in 12 different flavors (he didn't try them all, but he did his best).They also discussed the big chain news of Wendy's new Frosty options. They can now be blended with syrups, and starting in May there will be mix-ins available — like Dairy Queen Blizzards.Also big news: McDonald's has upgraded its lemonade, doing away with Minute Maid (although its orange juice is still in stock), and replacing it with a beverage of lemon juice, lemon pulp and sugar. Then Bret shared an interview with Juan and Gee Smalls, the owners of three-unit Virgil's Gullah Kitchen & Bar in Atlanta, featuring the food of the Gullah and Geechee people of the coastal areas from North Carolina to Georgia. They're first-time restaurateurs, motivated by what they saw as a need for venues owned and operated by Black gay people. The couple discuss their learning process and plans for the future.

Send us a textRemember when you thought your parents had it all figured out? That magical moment when you became an adult yourself and realized... no one actually knows what they're doing? That's the conversation we're diving into today.We're peeling back the curtain on the universal feeling of adult inadequacy through our own embarrassing stories - from Tyler accidentally ordering $40 worth of wings to an empty Airbnb in Nashville to admissions about pretending to know how to do basic home repairs. These moments reveal a truth we all experience but rarely discuss: everyone is stumbling through adulthood, even when they look competent from the outside.Our conversation takes a deeper turn as we explore how different generations face unique challenges. Many of us weren't taught essential life skills like managing credit, investing money, or even basic home maintenance. Not because our parents were negligent, but because they couldn't teach what they themselves didn't know. Now as adults, we're trying to break these generational patterns while navigating a world that's dramatically different from the one our parents knew.Perhaps most meaningful is our reflection on parental sacrifice. As children, we rarely see the full extent of what our parents gave up to provide for us. Only now, as adults and parents ourselves, can we truly appreciate their struggles and the heroic efforts they made while feeling just as unprepared as we do today. This realization brings both comfort and a new perspective on our own journey.Rate us, like us, and share with everyone you know as we continue figuring out this adult thing together.Support the showPlease share and SUBSCRIBE!!!If you are able ... would you help us in becoming a subscriber and helping us get the word out. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1133780/supportThinking about starting a podcast.

US retailers push back against tariffs I believe it is good news retailers are not pushing back against the US, but against countries where they buy products from. Companies like Home Depot, Walmart and Target are pushing back against production coming out of China. If a tariff is 10% the companies are pushing for the country to pick up the total cost and when tariffs jumped to 20%, they are getting push back on reducing costs by that amount but still having China producers pick up at least half. The companies are also looking at their profit margins and what they are doing is not increasing prices across the board, but perhaps raising prices on other items that are in higher demand and only raising the price slightly on products with less demand. The companies are also absorbing some of the cost themselves as opposed to passing the entire cost onto the consumer. In the end, the producer, the company, and the consumer will all absorb part of these tariffs and there may not be that much of an increase in price for many of these products. Unfortunately, I'm sure the regular media will find some products that went up dramatically and only discuss those. The big companies are also pushing for alternative places to produce products if China will not negotiate any reduction at all. Some companies are looking at producing the products here in the United States, which would be a win all the way around and I believe it would be the best thing for the United States. Are 401(k) investors starting to panic? A 401(k) is designed to be held for many years and should not be traded based on short term news. Unfortunately, the past month has seen the most trading activity in almost 5 years for 401(k)s. Individual investors added over $30 billion to money market funds in the first week of March alone. That type of activity in money markets has not been seen in the past year. In the first couple weeks of March, trading in 401(k)s was 400% above the normal level as people watched the market decline and they let their emotions take over as they headed to money markets. This is a huge mistake! Decision making seems to be politically driven. If people like the current administration, investors are seeing it as a buying opportunity. On the other hand, if they hate the new administration investors are either looking at going to cash or maybe shifting their investments internationally. Your retirement account is for the rest of your life and an investor should not be making decisions based on the current administration's actions considering it's such a small blip in the timeline of 30, 40 maybe 50 years of investing. Investors should go back to the basics and realize they are investing into American companies based on their earnings and what they are paying for those earnings. The country and the economy will always ebb and flow, but to try and figure out the best time to sell and buy has always been a losing game in the long term. If you have in your 401(k) good quality investments that are not overpriced, don't worry about the short-term movements on a month-to-month basis. You should think about your investment plan not just year to year, but 5, 10, 15 years down the road, maybe even longer. Inflation readings and consumer expectations are telling two different stories The Fed's preferred measure of inflation known as the core PCE showed an increase of 2.8% in the month of February, which was above the expectation of 2.7% and last month's reading of 2.7%. Headline PCE includes the volatile categories of food and energy and showed an increase of 2.5%, which was in line with expectations and matched January's reading. While the core PCE was a little hot, I don't believe that rate of inflation is overly problematic. It would likely not be enough to get the Federal Reserve to lower rates, but it also would not be concerning enough for them to even consider increasing rates. Their wait and see approach is likely still in place and I'm optimistic, even with upcoming tariffs, there should be room to lower rates as we procced through the rest of 2025. Many consumers on the other hand seem very concerned about inflation with the final reading of the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey showing expectations for inflation at a 5% rate one year from now and over a five-year horizon, the outlook now is for 4.1%. This marked the first time since February 1993 the reading was above 4%. I do believe these respondents are way off on their forecast and would be shocked if it came to fruition as that would be more than double the Fed's 2% target. We talked about why we don't like this survey in the past, but in case you missed it, the survey is tiny. It appears the survey typically interviews around 600 households each month for the preliminary report and around 800 for the final report. Considering there are over 130 million households in the US, I just don't see the survey as a strong indicator.

This week, we're swimming through a tidal wave of chaos, starting with the rollercoaster of comments I've been getting lately. Last week, Jeanette was tossing shade, but this week, the love is flowing from RC Kelly and Cordell—though my new pal Munchlax hit me with an iconic "you're so gay." Thanks, buddy. Real helpful.Meanwhile, Elon Musk is under attack (again), and naturally, he's blaming mental illness for people blowing up Teslas and spray-painting swastikas on superchargers. Shocker, right? Apparently, it's not because people might be a teensy bit upset about Doge-related cuts affecting veterans, food banks, medical research, or that accidental cancellation of Ebola research funding. "Oopsie" doesn't quite cut it, Elon.And speaking of Doge, Musk and his buddy Trump's latest financial freeze means farmers and nonprofits like Passa in Pennsylvania haven't received funding for months. Now, their employees can't get paid—which means neither can I. Elon, bro, now you've crossed the line by messing with my wallet. What are we doing?In lighter news (well, sort of), I stumbled onto American Idol after like 17 years, only to realize it's basically TikTok auditions now. Nobody actually "wins," except maybe Kelly Clarkson, but that's ancient history. This week, viral TikTok star Sophie Powers performed her masterpiece, "Shut the F*** Up," which I hate to admit actually slaps. Laundry, groceries, traffic—shut up indeed. Still, the show's become nothing more than influencers trying desperately to make a 60-second viral clip.Of course, no episode is complete without food opinions. The MD Foodie Boys debated wings, and let's just say if you're ordering honey barbecue, we're not friends. Shout-out to Alibis in Carlisle for perfect wings, RIP thanks to a drunk college kid. Wingstop's lazy employees ruined my order so many times they put my name on the wall—free wings forever, I guess? Haven't cashed in yet; don't want to seem petty.Finally, in tech news, the Pebble smartwatch is back from the dead—thankfully without any AI nonsense. It has a 30-day battery, looks retro-cool, and is totally open-source. Apple, take notes: my wrist is ready.*************************************************************✅BLUECHEW - FIRST ORDER FREE Only $5 Shippinghttps://wawdpod.com/blue*************************************************************✅DUDEROBE - PROMO CODE: WAWD 20% OFFhttps://duderobe.com - promo code: WAWD
In this week’s edition, Richland Source Deputy Managing Editor Carl Hunnell sits down with Doug Wertz, board president and artistic director of the Mansfield Playhouse. The Playhouse last week announced a new $7.5 million capital campaign aimed at building a new community theater at its 95 E. Third St. location. He describes the current condition of the theater’s century-old building and the benefits of a new facility that would be ADA-compliant. Hunnell is also joined by Executive Producer Zac Hiser and videographer Grant Ritchey to talk about the news of the day, including Mansfield native Matthew Failor’s successful finish to the 2025 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in Alaska; plans for a new restaurant in Ontario; and a proposal to build 200 new houses in Ontario.Relevant links: Matthew Failor's Iditarod finish Wingstop in Ontario 200 new houses in Ontario Intro song credit: Smoke And Drink, by Luke Watson.Be a Source Member for unlimited access to local, independent journalism.
