Aldi Is Unbundling the Grocery Store

Épisode 2

samedi 27 juin 2026 • Durée 33:52

Aldi, the cheap and quirky grocery store chain, is opening so many stores in the U.S. that it's on track to become the 2nd largest grocery chain within a few years.

How is Aldi matching or beating Walmart and Costco's low prices without the huge stores, warehouses, and economies of scale those chains have used to drive down prices?

And how has a chain best known for ultra-budget, bare-bones stores also become beloved, inspiring a cult-like following?

Show notes

In the interview, we say that Karl Albrecht is the younger brother, but he's actually the older brother.

Why a China Scholar Started a Tea Business

Épisode 4

mercredi 29 juillet 2026 • Durée 33:29

The state of tea in the United States is something of a national embarrassment. Josh Freedman started a tea business so more Americans can try and buy great teas from China and Taiwan. And to better understand China's economy and unique form of 'capitalism with communist characteristics.'

Show Notes

The Beijing tea market we discuss is called Maliandao.

How top chefs unknowingly do R&D for Applebee's

Épisode 3

jeudi 9 juillet 2026 • Durée 41:13

Imagine for a moment that you are a head chef. Not at The French Laundry or Alinea. Not at a local diner or greasy spoon. No. You're the head chef at a big chain like Applebee's or Cheesecake Factory. And it's your job to oversee a menu that will be used at hundreds of locations. Or thousands.

Your menu needs to satisfy customers in the suburbs and appeal to diners who live in foodie cities. It needs to have classics and comfort food, but also fun, new dishes and drinks that reflect new tastes and trends.

So how do you decide what to add—and when?

My guest today is Lizzy Freier. Lizzy is a trend forecaster who leads the menu research team at Technomic. And for more than 15 years, she's helped national restaurant chains answer questions like these.

In other words … Lizzy predicts the future. The future popularity of yuzu and imitation meat and hot sauces that are sweet and spicy, or "swicy."
