One of our team noticed the press release of Freddy’s about their TWIX Salted Caramel Concrete and instantly wanted to try them.

Bill banning cultivated meat in Florida is on its way to Gov. Ron DeSantis desk
Federal agencies have deemed lab-grown, or cultivated, meat safe to eat. But the legislation, supported by the state’s agriculture industry, “pumps the brakes” on the food to ensure it is safe. The chamber voted 86-27 to pass the bill (SB 1084), which would make changes related to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. More details in the link in the title.
Chick-fil-A is opening a 400 square foot grab-and-go location without registers and chairs
Chick-fil-A opened its first-ever mobile pickup restaurant in New York City last Thursday, March 21. This new restaurant is one of two innovative, digital-focused test concepts the restaurant company is opening – the second of which is the elevated drive-thru concept projected to open later this year. Chick-fil-A 79th & 2nd will cater to busy New Yorkers by focusing solely on delivery and mobile app ordering for a quick and easy pickup experience.

Locale | Collaboration of small business in Dubai
We came across ‘Locale’ a tribe of likeminded owners joined by a powerful belief in why good food matters. Their slogan: Building a community of good food, good people and good ideas. A good idea to pass on in other areas?
Local collaboration between donuts shop and Michelin star restaurant
In Toronto, located in a pink building on Adelaide Street is COPS. This, kind of, art gallery tries to reimagine the local doughnut shop. They have a collaboration with Osteria Giulia, a local Michelin star restaurant. Together they created small, and according to Sara Buchanan, most delicious tiramisu donuts. Great idea – donuts flavors in collaboration with great chefs! More details about COPS in the link in the title.
