Calling all restaurant leaders' ears: Podcast starts here Nov 30

Ready for an early holiday gift? QSRweb is joining with sister sites, Fast Casual, Food Truck Operator and Pizza Marketplace, to start a weekly podcast on all things limited service this Friday, Nov. 30. The first show answers the question: Why restaurateurs might want to brush up on their borscht?

Tis the season of giving, and, well, we at QSRweb have really gotten to like you restaurant leaders so we're giving you a little something, starting this Friday, Nov. 30. It's our first QSRweb podcast, a quick 15 to 20 minutes each week, stuffed with limited-service news and interviews.

very Friday, we'll publish a new podcast on QSRweb, as well as sister sites, Pizza Marketplace, Fast Casualand Food Truck Operator. It will also be featured in our Monday newsletters and available via SoundCloud, YouTube and very shortly, the iPhone podcast app. 

Each week, QSRweb Editor Shelly Whitehead will host the show, including a limited-service restaurant news digest, with the top stories from the QSR, pizza, fast casual and food truck industries. Then we'll feature a brief interview with either a brand leader or food service industry expert focused on the topics other brand leaders need to do their jobs better. 

So, reserve a few minutes in the next few days to take a listen. Our premier podcast features an interview with the one-women food service forecasting think tank that is Culinary Tides President Suzy Badarracco. You'll learn about why lutefisk and borscht might soon be coming to a restaurant menu near you, as well as why Native American flatbread probably won't. 

It's quick, it's informative. It's fun, so please check it out beginning the morning of Nov. 30. And also take a moment after you've listened in to send your ideas, interview suggestions and even constructive criticism to QSRweb Editor Shelly Whitehead at shellyw@networldmediagroup.com.

We are also providing sponsorship opportunities, you can find more information by clicking here.

Is your brand doing something spectacular you want to tell the world about? Have you worked out a solution to a business problem you'd be generous enough to share with your fellow restaurant professionals? Or do you just want us to find an expert on a particular business subject area to feature in an upcoming show? We'll never know unless you email.

Just think of this weekly presentation as a sort of "jumping-off point" to share news, ideas and connect with others in this crazy business. Our goal is to make everyone's job easier, more interesting and above all, more fun. After all, that's what the best gifts always do.
