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.

Food manufacturers are upgrading existing plants instead of building new ones

Food manufacturers are upgrading existing plants instead of building new ones

Food manufacturers are spending 2026 capital on upgrades inside existing plants, with equipment orders outpacing new construction. PMMI puts US food machinery at $5.1 billion for 2025, rising to $7.1 billion by 2031. Manufacturers are preparing for FSMA 204 in 2028.

  • 01Manufacturers are preparing for FSMA 204 in 2028, and that is shaping equipment and line-upgrade decisions.
  • 02New lines win approval before new plants because their return is easier to prove, especially when automation and hygienic design cut cost of goods and shorten sanitation.
  • 03Food and beverage manufacturing is projected to add jobs through 2034, suggesting automation is aimed at getting more output from a workforce that is still growing and hard to staff.

Why Texas keeps calling a klobasnek a kolache

Why Texas keeps calling a klobasnek a kolache

Middleby's Innovation Kitchen chef builds a sausage-and-cheese klobasnek and a fruit-filled kolache from one brioche-style dough, proofing both for thirty minutes and sending the klobasniky into a Blodgett XR8, to show the two are different pastries. Texas Monthly dates the klobasnek to 1953 in West and the blurring to Kolache Factory's 1982 Houston launch, and bakers in Austin and Utah say customers rarely ask for the right word.

  • 01One slightly sweet brioche-style dough makes both pastries: wrapped around sausage and cheese it is a klobasnek, pressed into a well and filled with jam or ricotta it is a kolache.
  • 02The klobasnek is a Texas invention, dated by Texas Monthly to 1953 at a bakery in West, and the naming blur began when Kolache Factory sold both under one word in Houston from 1982.
  • 03Most shops will keep the sign as is: an Austin shop owner told Texas Monthly one customer in ten thousand insists on the distinction, and a Utah bakery wrote in September 2026 that it knowingly sells klobasniky as kolaches.

Tailored Bottling's Dearborn plant is built for 750 million cans and bottles a year

Tailored Bottling's Dearborn plant is built for 750 million cans and bottles a year

Tailored Bottling Solutions' Dearborn, Michigan plant is designed for about 750 million beverage units a year but is still ramping up. Only 18 people work there today. Staffing up to three shifts, roughly 45 to 50 workers, sets how quickly beverage brands can use that capacity.

  • 01Dearborn's 750 million-unit design runs on 18 workers today. Three full shifts need about 45 to 50, so headcount is the best public read on when full output arrives.
  • 02The Dearborn plant’s equipment is built for up to 750 million units a year, depending on the ramp.
  • 03TBS says its Miami site, TBS South, is fully operational and has completed large-scale runs and signed multi-year production agreements.
