| Food and Beverage Magazine: News Now! Episode 104 | 08 Feb 2026 | 00:19:57 | |
As featured in Food & Beverage Magazine (www.fbmagazine.com), the culinary and hospitality landscape of 2026 is defined by high-profile partnerships, regional revitalizations, and shifting consumer preferences in the beverage sector. Major industry events continue to drive engagement, such as the South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF) 2026, which remains a primary draw for food enthusiasts. In the corporate sphere, McCain Foods has secured a prominent role as the official french fry partner for Team Canada, while the Georgia Restaurant Association has established its leadership for the year by unveiling its 2026 Board of Directors. Innovation is also taking center stage at the NGA Show in Las Vegas, where the industry celebrated IGA’s 100th anniversary alongside new retail inspirations. Significant infrastructure and tourism developments are reshaping key destinations. Myrtle Beach is undergoing a "coastal glow-up" featuring new attractions and contributions from Guy Fieri, while San Juan, Puerto Rico, is seeing a massive $850 million investment with the arrival of a new Hard Rock property. On the high seas, Atlas Ocean Voyages is elevating luxury travel by unveiling a curated celebrity chef lineup for its 2026 itineraries. The beverage industry is witnessing a "potency arms race" in the THC drink market, where 2.5mg has emerged as the preferred "sweet spot" for consumers seeking controlled experiences. Traditional beverage sectors are also evolving; Coca-Cola has expanded its portfolio with new Cherry Float and Diet Coke Cherry variants, and the wine trade is adapting to the new i2a framework introduced at ProWein Düsseldorf. Furthermore, the inaugural Kentucky Bourbon Country Auction in Louisville and the cultural intersection of craft beer and rock music demonstrate the ongoing diversification of craft spirits and brews. Whether it is the fusion of NBA All-Star Weekend and Valentine’s romance in Beverly Hills or Mardi Gras-inspired recipes from New Orleans chefs, the industry remains vibrant and multifaceted, as documented by Food & Beverage Magazine (www.fbmagazine.com). | |||

New dining landmarks blend cultural heritage with innovation by reimagining historical spaces and fusing diverse culinary traditions with modern business and competitive formats. A primary example of this blend is found in San Antonio at Esencia, a restaurant led by Chef Leo Davila. This venue is characterized as a "cultural fusion masterpiece" that operates within the historic St. Anthony Hotel. By placing a modern fusion concept within a landmark hotel, the establishment honors the heritage of its location while pushing the boundaries of contemporary cuisine. Other landmarks, such as The Atlas in Boston’s Allston neighborhood, blend cultural heritage with innovation by creating spaces tailored to specific community identities, specifically targeting "intellectuals and foodies". This approach integrates the intellectual culture of the area with a modern gastronomic landmark, turning a dining space into a cultural hub. The sources also highlight how innovation is applied to the very nature of culinary engagement through "Food Sport". The World Food Championships represent an innovative evolution of culinary heritage, transforming traditional cooking into a high-stakes competitive event that brings global attention to host cities like Indianapolis. Furthermore, the industry’s drive toward innovation is often led by influential figures who blend their cultural backgrounds with new industry standards. For instance, Roy Choi, a pioneer in culinary fusion, continues to influence the landmark dining scene by headlining major industry events like the Bar & Restaurant Expo, where the focus is on the anniversary of industry evolution and the future of food and beverage experiences. While the sources mention Roy Choi's role as a headliner at the Bar & Restaurant Expo, I am drawing on my own knowledge—which you may want to independently verify—to note that Choi is widely recognized for innovating the modern food truck movement by blending Korean and Mexican cultural heritage, a concept that has paved the way for many of the "fusion masterpieces" mentioned in the sources. | |||

| Chef Nick Herrera with Rum Social | 13 Sep 2022 | 00:24:01 | |
Rum Social’s gastronomy story is about taking a step away from the daily routine and embarking on a kitchen and cocktail dance. A flow amongst colors, fabrics, textures and sounds of a beachfront island lounge… full of great flavors and fairy tales. This is a luxurious tropical dining experience, back-dropped by a revitalizing view of the Laguna Beach, California. The focus was to bring fun colors and textures into a space that would still bring an elevated experience for the dining customer. It was also important for Kenneth Ussenko Design to influence the space with small details of art and photography that was truly a part of their own journey throughout the tropical islands of the world as he was growing up. Rum Social is located in a beach town and the design integrates very well because of the tropical vibe with a “Tree-house” bar that takes you away to a Hemingway speakeasy with images and stories of beach life and sea tales. This design concept works so well because this town of Laguna Beach needed another elevated restaurant concept. Kenneth Ussenko Design wanted to bring a different kind of seaside dining experience and from the response of the locals this concept has been embraced very well. #ChefNickHerrera #RumSocial #lagunabeach __________________________________________________ Food & Beverage Industry brought to life.

| Dia Simms - Living the Lobos Lessons | 03 Aug 2022 | 00:33:24 | |
THE YEAR WAS 1707 In Los Altos de Jalisco, Mexico, Blue Weber agave was cultivated by jimadors to produce an agave spirit, known today as Tequila. As Diego Osorio, our founder's great-great-grandfather, learned about this liquid and transported it in sherry wine barrels to his native Spain, he discovered the liquid aged within this sherry-bathed oak created a smooth and elegant Tequila unlike any other. Honoring this rich tradition, our unique process and world class Tequila is created by Master Distillers from Mexico and Spain. In this spirit, Lobos 1707 represents the best of both worlds THE LEGEND CONTINUES For almost five centuries, lore of the Osorio Tequila was passed down. Diego Osorio, a descendent of the same name, set out to recreate the recipe, journeying back to Mexico, through Altos de Jalisco and Oaxaca. Many jimadors, crafters, and contributors from around the world helped refine the liquid and culminate the brand that is Lobos 1707 – continuing a legacy of extraordinary Tequilas and Mezcal. THE LEGACY LIVES ON Within the design of every Lobos 1707 bottle are elements that retell the legend - The Osorio coat of arms composed of wolves, the escutcheon animal, and the Agave Wind Rose Compass representing an adventurous spirit and honoring the brand's Spanish and Mexican heritage. A different hue on each bottle evokes the liquid’s origin: Joven’s blue for the Blue Weber agave, Reposado’s rich red Jalisco clay, bronze for Extra Añejo’s blazing sun, a conduit of its ageing, and Mezcal’s black Oaxacan volcanic soil. Lobos 1707 is the continuing legacy of many who have shared their passion and perseverance. The only piece of the story left unwritten is yours, and what you choose to bring to the table. #DiaSimms #Lobos1707 #LobosLegends ___________________________________________________ Food & Beverage Industry brought to life.

| "On the Rocks" a telling of the journey of Joseph Costanzo, Jr. | 11 Jul 2022 | 00:30:41 | |
On the Rocks, a narrative nonfiction book written by Maria Costanzo Palmer and Ruthie Robbins, chronicles the journey of personality Joseph Costanzo, Jr. in his rise to success in the 1990’s as world renowned restaurateur and owner of The Primadonna Restaurant, radio host, columnist, and aspiring politician through his sharp fall ending in an investigation and a stint in federal prison in the early 2000’s. Voted one of America’s top restaurateurs by The International Restaurant and Hospitality Rating Bureau, Costanzo is arguably the greatest restaurateur of his generation. Through his marketing genius and innovation, he took a neighborhood restaurant in a tough steel town in McKees Rocks, PA and turned it into a nationally recognized eatery featured in Playboy Magazine and The New York Daily News. Regardless of whether a reader has ever dined at The Primadonna, visited Pittsburgh, or heard of Joe Costanzo, On the Rocks is a relatable story. Neither a chef nor an entrepreneur, postal carrier Joseph Costanzo, Jr.’s relentless determination propels him to extraordinary success and distinction with his restaurant; however, this underdog story does not end there. That same relentless determination thrusts him into a downward spiral in which he loses everything from his beloved restaurant to his home, his health, and even his freedom for a time. It is only then that the reader begins to comprehend the depth of Costanzo’s resilience. Each time readers think they are beginning to understand Costanzo, he surprises them again, until the final chapter in which our unusual protagonist/antagonist begins to understand himself. With its delectable tastes, smells, camaraderie, behind-the-scenes antics, and celebrity appearances, the place begins to feel like home to readers, or at least a place they enjoy visiting through story. Much like the bar in the TV show Cheers, the restaurant is quite enough to carry not only the plot, but many subplots as well, enhanced by the descriptions of the food, drinks, and people within its walls. As the restaurant gains national attention and exceeds all expectations, it is the unlikely setting of The Primadonna—The Rocks—that makes Joe’s accomplishments astounding. Joe made it “chic” to venture to The Rocks for dinner. Come and walk beside this anything-but-average Joe as he takes you through his bumpy journey on the Rocks! The manuscript for On the Rocks is completed, represented by Leticia Gomez owner of Savvy Literary Agency, and will be on submission this fall. Fill in your information below to follow the book’s progress via email. You can also learn about The Primadonna Restaurant by visiting the Facebook site Fans of The Primadonna Restaurant, Previously Owned by Joseph Costanzo, Jr. @joecostanzoprimadonna. We also have just joined Instagram @joecostanzoprimadonna and Maria is just starting to dabble with Twitter @mariacpalmer.

| Pamela Wood - CEO & Director of Education, Culinary Wine Institute | 22 Jun 2022 | 00:27:07 | |
Certified Wine Educator, Certified Sommelier, American Wine Expert, Director of Education with Culinary Wine Institute A love of travel, different cultures, world history and wine, is what led me to pursue my passion of all things wine. Moving from California’s Monterey Bay area to Utah in 1998, I began working first at Snowbird, then Deer Valley Resort. This led to many travel opportunities, where I always found myself near wine regions. Upon exploring this fascination for what goes into the bottle a new passion was ignited, and I’ve never looked back. Sharing my love of wine with others has led me to pursue more education, more travel and a more in depth love of the vine and wine. I received my Intro Sommelier with the Court of the Masters and became a Certified Sommelier with International Wine Guild in 2011, followed by Certified Specialist of Wine – CSW in 2015 through the Society of Wine Educators, and in 2018 obtained Certified Wine Educator – CWE, only shared by 443 others in the world, which allows me to teach anywhere on the planet. In June of 2020, during the COVID lockdown I was able to pass the American Wine Expert course with honors! I founded Park City Wine Club in 2012 to bring wine tasting, pairing and fun to our community, showcasing menu items from many local restaurants and tasting wines from all over the world. In addition, I am the state educator for the employees of Utah Department of Alcohol and Beverage Control, a Professor since 2011 with Fox School of Wine and the Director of Education with the Culinary Wine Institute. Rather a novice or enthusiast there is something for everyone in the world of wine! #PamelaWood #CulinaryWineInstitute #Wine ___________________________________________________ Food & Beverage Industry brought to life.

| Samuel Zien - Sam the Cooking Guy | 31 May 2022 | 01:03:25 | |
Sam the Cooking Guy is an everyday guy who has found a way to make cooking casually understandable. With no fancy equipment and by speaking English instead of ‘chef-speak,’ I’m sort of the everyman of cooking. I have two shows, the TV show SAM THE COOKING GUY airs on YUR VIEW with COX, and my online show, STCGO. Both are shot right in my house – and I cook with my kids, dogs – just like we all do. There’s no fois gras… no white truffle oil, no ‘Peruvian mountain-raised squab in sesame-lime-soy marinade stuffed with braised forest turnips and wild enoki mushrooms in a hand pressed plum and raspberry glaze’. I’m just a regular guy, using regular words showing how to cook easy, great food… Food that’s ‘big in taste and small in effort’. It’s a handful of ingredients and a few steps – that’s it. This is a cooking show “for the rest of us,” I like to say. #SamZien #Samthecookingguy #BetweentheBuns ___________________________________________________ Food & Beverage Industry brought to life.

Looking for something unique to add to the vodka market, ROCK’N Vodka’s creators (Andy Roiniotis, Isabelle Roiniotis, and Denny Trakas) were determined to find something that would rock everyone’s taste buds. That’s when they stumbled across the idea of a sugarcane vodka! There are only a few sugarcane vodkas throughout the world, which means ROCK’N isn’t only delicious, but it’s incredibly rare. The sugarcane gives a complex taste of being soft, smooth, and sweet. Being created from sugarcane, ROCK’N is an alternative to any sweet drink that you might be looking for without all of the added calories of a sugary mixer. #RickNielsen #CheapTrick #ROCK'NVodka ___________________________________________________ Food & Beverage Industry brought to life.

| Sammy Hagar of Santo spirits | 18 May 2022 | 00:20:56 | |
When Sammy Hagar gets together with friends in Cabo San Lucas you never know what's coming next. So begins the history behind Santo’s Tequila Blanco and Mezquila - both borne out of good friends, great food, a lot of tequila and the search for a taste revelation: “a higher spirit.” Together, rocker Sammy Hagar and chef Guy Fieri found their virtuoso with Juan Eduardo Nuñez, the third-generation master distiller from the famed distillery El Viejito, founded in 1937, in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. Sammy’s history of making world-renowned tequila, Guy’s world-famous taste buds, and Juan Eduardo’s award-winning craftsmanship, bring to life the portfolio of Santo spirits; a sinfully smooth old world style tequila blanco, an oak-aged reposado, and the world’s first mezquila. #GuyFieri #SammyHagar #Santo #SantoSpirits ____________________________________________________ Food & Beverage Industry brought to life.

| Chipperbec potatoes - The World's Greatest Frying Potatoe | 16 May 2022 | 00:39:16 | |
Chipperbec potatoes have been developed over the past 40 years by America’s most experienced potato farmers to meet all of the demands of today’s restaurant chefs. While Chipperbecs are the world's greatest frying and chipping potato, they are also a wonderful potato for mashing, potato salads, potato pancakes, shepherd’s pies, and more. And as for vitamins and minerals, white potatoes are stuffed with vitamins C, B6, niacin, folate, potassium, manganese, magnesium and phosphorus. The Chipperbec potato is a brand of a white round potato variety, which has been commonly referred to as a “Kennebec” or “Kennebec-style” potatoes in recent years. The actual Kennebec, a specific variety of white potato, existing today as an heirloom crop, is no longer grown in mass quantities and the word “Kennebec” has incorrectly been used in the industry as a general term for white chipping potatoes. #Chipperbecpotatoes #Chipperbec #GreatestFryingPotatoe ___________________________________________________ Food & Beverage Industry brought to life.

| Richard Sandoval, Vivas Abejas - Long Live the Bee | 25 Apr 2022 | 00:30:21 | |
Global lifestyle hospitality brand, Richard Sandoval Hospitality – makers of famed Latin concepts Maya, Toro Toro, Tamayo and more – is launching its third worldwide campaign, Vivas Abejas - Long Live the Bee on March 22nd! Bees are critical to our food system – one in every three bites of food depends on bees for pollination. And as a restaurant group focused on Latin cuisine, bees are major pollinators of Latin staples like the agave plant and avocados. Chef Sandoval’s newest campaign combines entirely plant-based dishes, bee-centric patron-forward cocktails, and bespoke pieces that illuminate the bee and its beauty while also containing embedded symbolism for earth, mother, and honey. The campaign centers around Pachamama, the Incan goddess of the Earth, of planting, harvesting, and of fertility. In this culture, Water, Earth, Sun, and the Moon all claim Pachamama as their prime origin with the cycle of life. In celebration of the Earth, Viva Abejas celebrates her, and the importance bees have on our ecosystem. “Nearly one-third of all honeybees in the United States have died in the last few years. Improper pesticide use, loss of habitat, parasites and diseases, and climate change all contribute to the decline of these critical pollinators. It's our goal to spread awareness on the importance of bees to our food system through Viva Abejas,” - Chef Richard Sandoval, Founder/Global Restaurateur of Richard Sandoval Hospitality. #RichardSandoval #RichardSandovalHospitality #VivasAbejas #LongLivetheBee ___________________________________________________ Food & Beverage Industry brought to life.

| Chef Ming Tsai Founder of MingsBings | 15 Apr 2022 | 00:37:32 | |
Ming Hao Tsai is an American restaurateur, television personality, celebrity chef, and a former professional squash player. Tsai's restaurants have focused on east–west fusion cuisine and have included major stakes in Blue Ginger in Wellesley, Massachusetts (a Zagat- and James Beard-recognized establishment) from 1998 to 2017, and Blue Dragon in the Fort Point Channel area of Boston (a Zagat-recognized tapas-style gastropub named in Esquire Magazine "Best New Restaurants 2013"). Tsai hosts Simply Ming, a cooking show featured on American Public Television, in its seventeenth season. Past shows Tsai hosted include Ming's Quest, a cooking show featured on the Fine Living Network, and "East Meets West". Tsai appeared in the Food Network cooking competition The Next Iron Chef (2010). In 2017, Ming received the world-shaking news that his wife Polly had been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. While they explored medical treatment options at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Polly also made the life-changing decision to transition to a strict vegan diet with the hope of lowering inflammation by using food as medicine. Using his chef background, Ming knew that he could create delicious vegan options for his wife. However, when he went to the grocery store in search of quick meal options or savory meal replacements, he was disappointed by the variety and quality of the options on the market. It was in that moment he recognized a new mission. As he developed meal options to help his wife heal, he would also help people in search of a plant-based diet find alternatives that not only nurtured the body but delighted the taste buds. His first product would be a delicious veggie patty that could be prepared quickly and eaten on the go with an ingredient list full of foods he recognized. And with that, MingsBings was born. #ChefMing #TopChef #SimplyMing #TheNextIronChef #MingsBings #IronChef ____________________________________________________ Food & Beverage Industry brought to life.

| Jeremiah Tower - Author and Consultant | 13 Apr 2022 | 01:00:53 | |
Jeremiah Tower is an American celebrity chef who, along with Alice Waters and Wolfgang Puck, has been credited with pioneering the culinary style known as California cuisine.[1] A food lover from childhood, he had no formal culinary education before beginning his career as a chef. It would be difficult to overstate the importance that chef Jeremiah Tower has had on American cooking. He’s one of the giants, a chef who carved a path so innovative and so important into American culinary life that today’s chefs still follow it without perhaps even knowing about Tower himself. It started at Berkeley’s Chez Panisse, back in 1972, after the Connecticut-born, well-traveled son of aristocrats, and Harvard-educated Master of Architecture Tower joined Alice Waters in the kitchen of her restaurant. He had always cooked, and cooked well, for his friends, read historic cookbooks for pleasure, and loved the art of preparing food far more than he did the planning of buildings. He was an immediate hit in the kitchen and eventually became a partner. He not only brought exquisite European-style cooking to the Bay Area, but he and Waters created a truly American cuisine, using ingredients sourced ultra-fresh and locally and devising a fresh new way to prepare them. After six years at Chez Panisse, Tower moved on, as executive chef at Big Sur’s Ventana Inn, San Francisco’s Balboa Café, and as co-owner of the Santa Fe Bar & Grill, where he explored southwestern cooking. ____________________________________________________ Food & Beverage Industry brought to life.
