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 factories' hiring problem has shifted from line workers to engineers

Food factories' hiring problem has shifted from line workers to engineers

Food industry leaders say the bigger hiring concern is now technical talent, not just line workers. Demand for engineers, technicians and data specialists is outpacing supply, and manufacturers compete with aerospace and automotive for scarce technical talent. With more than a third of workers aged 50 or older, many manufacturers are developing talent internally.

  • 01Technical roles now rank above general labour for the first time in Canadian food sector hiring needs, according to Food Processing Skills Canada's latest study.
  • 02Maintenance technicians and engineers compete across industries; aerospace and automotive can often pay higher salaries for the same skillsets, leaving food plants at a disadvantage.
  • 03More than a third of food sector workers are 50 or older, creating succession risk as retirement takes decades of technical and manufacturing expertise out of operations.

Animal feed protein ingredients projected to reach $17.8 billion by 2032

Animal feed protein ingredients projected to reach $17.8 billion by 2032

Animal feed is the fastest-growing use for protein ingredients, forecast to grow 7.5% a year to $17.8 billion by 2032. IndexBox reports that commercial feed still depends mainly on plant-derived ingredients such as soybean meal, canola meal and pulses. Soy anchors both feed and food protein, so food demand matters to feed buyers.

  • 01Research and Markets forecasts animal feed as the fastest-growing customer for protein ingredients through 2032, at 7.5% a year against 6.3% for the market overall.

PepsiCo made crunch the selling point of its lower-salt Doritos in Europe

PepsiCo made crunch the selling point of its lower-salt Doritos in Europe

Compared with the recipe it replaced, the new UK Doritos recipe contained up to 18% less salt and 14% less total fat, and PepsiCo made enhanced crunch its selling point. For food manufacturers, the method matters most: choose the reformulation shoppers can taste, and test repeat purchase and factory consistency before rolling out.

  • 01Doritos took salt and fat out and gave shoppers a crunch they could hear, a sensible bet when 88% of Americans say taste shapes what they buy and only 56% say the same of healthfulness.
  • 02PepsiCo chose the crunch route while several technical paths to the same sodium and saturated fat targets were still open, so R&D and marketing were aiming at one target before the recipe was locked.
  • 03Moving a UK product out of the HFSS classification can reopen prominent retail placement, so a reformulation can pay off on the shelf as well as on the nutrition panel.
