DALLAS, Texas – MarketScale, a leading B2B media company, is launching the first season of “Run the Pass with Chef Andre” featuring executive chef Andre Natera this summer.

“Run the Pass with Chef Andre” features Natera in his element, hosting a series of food and beverage industry superstars each month to discuss the business side of the industry as they prepare a new dish.

A graduate of Le Cordon Bleu, a Mentor BKB member and a member of the World Master Chef Society, Natera labels his unique style as fresh, simple and approachable, and driven by Mother Nature.

The end result speaks for itself, as Natera was recognized as one of the 10 best chefs in Dallas in both 2011 and 2012. Natera currently serves as the executive chef of the Fairmont Austin Hotel, the largest luxury hotel in Texas.

Topics for the first season of “Run the Pass with Chef Andre” include adopting and leveraging new technologies, supply chain management, agility in changing to a delivery-oriented kitchen, attracting and retaining top talent, general best practices and more.

On the premier episode, Natera goes on a “restaurant walk” to visit with the most well-known names in the restaurant industry in Austin including L’Oca d’Oro and Foreign & Domestic to discuss how they have shifted their business models to accommodate for curbside and delivery in recent months.

The guest list for the first season is a who’s-who of industry leaders, including Made In Cookware Co-Founder and President Jake Kalick, Food Related Founder and CEO Luciano Ciociari, Austin Food and Wine Alliance Executive Director Mariam Parker, and Giant Noise Executive Vice President Courtney Knittel.

And that’s just the beginning.

Natera’s new venture is aimed at providing an interesting and engaging look at the state of the food, beverage and restaurant industry, giving viewers unique insights from those who know it best.

Natera is uniquely positioned to bring these experts together over one stove, where he can pick their brains, share knowledge and the experiences he’s gathered over the course of his illustrious career and, lastly, create a stunning meal.

Food is a tremendous unifier, and Natera is committed to using that power to bring a valuable insider look to audiences across the world.

You can keep up with each exciting episode of “Run the Pass with Chef Andre” right here.

Restaurant kitchen automation is moving from robots to connected equipment

Restaurant kitchen automation is moving from robots to connected equipment

Sweetgreen says its Infinite Kitchen can assemble up to 500 bowls an hour and costs $450,000 to $550,000 per unit. Foodservice Equipment and Supplies reports 2024 Kitchen Innovations Award winners are adding sensors, AI and tighter links to POS, KDS and delivery systems. The operational shift is toward automation that removes steps and variability, not fully staffless restaurants.

  • 01The KI Awards trend is integration, robotics that season and pack, and pizza systems designed around POS, KDS and delivery feeds, which is where automation stops being a demo and starts being a production line.
  • 02For operators with small footprints or volatile staffing, equipment that recognizes food and auto-selects cook programs is becoming a training strategy as much as a cooking strategy.

GLP-1 users cut food spend

GLP-1 users cut food spend

PwC and Acosta Group data show GLP-1 users are spending less on food and changing what they buy. PwC reported GLP-1 users spent about 11% less across most food categories, and the steepest pullbacks were in sweet and salty snacks and baked foods. Acosta Group found users report buying more fresh and high-protein items while reducing purchases of sweets, salty snacks and sugary beverages.

  • 01The bigger operational risk is mix, not just volume: surveys from PwC and Acosta Group point to snack and sugary beverage softness alongside protein and produce lift, a pattern worth validating in loyalty and POS data.
  • 02Pack architecture becomes a supply-chain decision: when 47% of users report smaller portions (PwC), right-sizing case packs, planograms, and menu portions can prevent margin leakage from shrink and waste.
