Episode Summary:
In Episode 14 of The Flavor Forecast, hosts Christine and Keith dive deep into the escalating prices in the fast food world. As inflation bites, the value meals and combo deals we once knew are starting to feel like a thing of the past. How are fast food chains adapting, and what does it mean for customers who are cutting back? From price hikes at McDonald's to value wars between top chains, we break down what's happening behind the counter.
In this episode, Christine also opens up about the notorious Domino's Pizza scam that rocked D&H Hospitality in 2023, revealing the lessons learned and the fallout from the scandal. Plus, the team discusses how The Chef Agency keeps calling them, trying to buy their client list and offering positions as recruiters—an interesting twist in the hospitality industry!
Join us for a candid conversation about these challenges and more, plus a nostalgic chat about our favorite big-box theme restaurants of the '90s. Christine loved Planet Hollywood—what was your go-to?
