Episode 189: Team Biden Takes Shape - and May Be Taking Aim

The restaurant industry once again finds itself in the middle of the American cultural wars, with new attention given to an index highlighting the differences between Cracker Barrel voters and Whole Foods voters. How do operators navigate a landscape where their very brands become litmus tests for voter identification and tribal loyalty? We’ll take a look. And the Biden transition team is taking shape and being populated with a lot of folks that don’t have a whole lot of sympathy for the restaurant business model. Is this a precursor to how a Biden Administration will approach labor issues? We’ll discuss that as well. We talk about all of this and wrap it up with a special guest helping me run down the legislative scorecard.
