Cheers Max! Awesome to meet up in person. Thanks for being a great influence on my approach to sport and to the community
Meeting online friends in real life is cool.
@Pleasanthouse is a long-time follower and newsletter reader. Making his way through town today and had to meet up!
This community is pretty neat!
I used to buy this with my lawn mowing earnings
Kellogg's Pro-Grain (1987-1988): a puffed wheat, corn, and oat cereal, (re-used C-3PO's pieces!) marketed as an "Ironman Food," targeting young adults and training athletes. However, it also contained 39% sugar, and never quite caught on, and was discontinued about a year later.

“Love what you do and…..blah, blah, blah” The point is have some fun while you’re doing it. @nationalrestaurantshow 2024 lots of opportunities to cheese it up (in between the work). #plantbased “salmon” that really cooks and tastes like salmon if you’re into that kind of thing…

The “I want food but only have ingredients” meme is too real unless you have 1. Chicken 2. Pumpkin / #Kabochasquash 3. #maesriredcurrypaste 4. Coconut milk and 5 min cook time @instantpotofficial #nuocmam #thaibasil #rice #homecooking

New Year traditions. They age along with us and hopefully, both of us, like a fine wine (unexpected improvements) and a work in progress (intentional improvements)

What an honor and a humbling experience to be able to share our business journey with this class and in turn not only learn from them but to have them be a part of our future journey. Thank you Matt, thank you #PRAD373!
That's a wrap! Great night of final presentations to class client family-owned Pleasant House Pub and Royal Pies (@phpubchicago @Pleasanthouse) in #PRAD373 PR & Advertising Entrepreneurs (@DePaulPRAD @CMNDePaulDean). Such a rewarding class to teach each year. #entrepreneurship
I’m thrilled to attend the premier event for foodservice professionals in May! Join me at the 2023 National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago. #SeeYouatTheRestaurantShow invt.io/1txbvu9uuh6

A reminder of one of my most commented on (and simplest) solutions from the pandemic. I designed logo napkin bands with QR codes to the menu when we needed to reintroduce silverware for reopening dine-in business and contactless steps. Link to podcast on the history of the napkin
Hit play on this week’s Restaurant Rewind #podcast to trek back to ancient Greece, where napkins had its start as an edible remedy for greasy fingers.
