BurgerFi International lost another board member and the company’s stock is in danger of a delisting, the company said in an SEC filing late last week.

The Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based owner of the burger chain BurgerFi and Anthony’s Coal-Fired Pizza has received a notice from the Nasdaq stock exchange threatening to delist the company’s shares.

The notice cited BurgerFi’s inability to timely file its second-quarter report. It also said that the company does not have enough members of its board of directors.
A supplier believed to be the largest seafood wholesaler serving the Mississippi Gulf Coast has pleaded guilty to selling trash fish as premium species to restaurants and other establishments over a 17-year stretch.
How does a pot-themed brand become one of the industry’s fastest-growing restaurant chains?

This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Marc Torres, the CEO of the fast-growing sandwich chain Cheba Hut.

The Fort Collins, Colorado-based chain has picked up its growth in recent years behind franchising and strong average unit volumes.

Listen to the full episode on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
Our guest this week on Menu Talk is William Dissen, chef and owner of The Market Place in Asheville, North Carolina, as well as three-unit Billy D’s Fried Chicken.

Dissen recently returned from a culinary ambassador mission to Malaysia, where he cooked for stateless children near the city of Kota Kinabalu. He also recently published his first cookbook, “Thoughtful Cooking: Recipes Rooted in the New South.”

Dissen said the book reflects his own ethos of using wholesome, local food, and he advocates for people to cook that way at home, too.

A who’s who of restaurant company CEOs are collaborating this summer on a moonshot of a social give-back program: ensuring U.S. children have access to food.

At least nine corporate chiefs have pledged support for No Kid Hungry’s drive to provide meals while school is out of session to children who rely on the National School Lunch Program for lunch, breakfast or both. The specific target of the CEO Pledge to End Summer Hunger initiative is increasing the number of children who receive meals this summer to 30 million, from the current level of 2.8 million.
In this week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive, RB editors Joe Guszkowski and Lisa Jennings join Jonathan Maze to discuss the spate of bankruptcy filings this year and what they mean for the business.

Seventeen restaurant chains have filed for Chapter 11 debt protection this year, most of them since June.

Amid all the bankruptcy filings are companies like Chili’s and Wingstop that have reported ultra-strong sales. Why are they able to do that while others struggle?
