For an operator, it can be very overwhelming to think about seizing opportunities to grow a business from single unit to multi-unit operations, all while maintaining or improving their brand identity. You may ask yourself: How can I focus on business development while keeping up with my day-to-day responsibilities to my current customers and employees?
On a previous episode of “On Foodable Weekly,” we spoke to restaurateur Sam Fox, from Fox Restaurant Concepts in Phoenix, about the hurdles to conquer when it comes to restaurant expansion. In today’s episode, we traveled to Nashville, Tenn., to chat with Matthew Bodnar, a partner at Fresh Hospitality, a company that helps scale chef-driven concepts into multi-unit businesses with self-sustainable and profitable business models. We sat down with Bodnar at Cochon Butcher, a concept in its early stages of scaling by Fresh Hospitality.
Bodnar explains Fresh’s mission is to help entrepreneurs grow.

Kate’s Tasty Asian Chicken Thighs
Makes 4–6 servings
These tangy, flavorful chicken thighs, based on a recipe by Anya Von Bremzen and Jon Welchman in their Terrific Pacific Cookbook, go well with Asian Noodle Salad with Sesame Mayonnaise (see recipe below). This recipe calls for grilling, but you can also barbecue the chicken in a smoker for a truly unforgettable dish, and then finish it by crisping the skin on a hot grill. Because this is a relatively complicated recipe to make, Kate likes to do a double batch and freeze half for later enjoyment.
12 chicken thighs (31/2 lb | 1.75 kg), bone in, skin on
2 tsp | 10 mL ground coriander
1 tsp | 5 mL freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp | 5 mL kosher salt
11/2 Tbsp | 22 mL tamarind pulp (Thai is best)
1/3 cup | 75 mL chicken stock or tinned broth, boiling
6 Asian dried red chiles (2 to 3 inches | 5 to 8 cm)
4 large cloves garlic, chopped
3 Tbsp | 45 mL chopped shallots
2 tsp | 10 mL chopped fresh ginger
1 Tbsp | 15 mL chopped fresh lemongrass or
2 tsp | 10 mL grated lime zest
11/2 Tbsp | 22 mL vegetable oil
3 Tbsp | 45 mL dark soy sauce
3 Tbsp | 45 mL packed light brown sugar
11/2 Tbsp | 20 mL rice vinegar
11/2 Tbsp | 20 mL ketchup
1/2 cup | 125 mL finely chopped fresh basil
Rinse the chicken pieces well in cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Prick the skin all over with the tines of a fork. In a small bowl, combine the coriander, pepper, and salt, and rub the mixture into the chicken pieces. Set the chicken aside.
Add the tamarind pulp to the boiling stock, remove it from the heat, and soak it for 15 minutes. Stir the mixture and mash it with a fork to help the tamarind dissolve. Strain it through a fine strainer into a bowl, pressing on the solids with the back of a wooden spoon to extract all the liquid. Discard the tamarind that remains in the strainer and set aside the liquid.
Stem the chiles and shake out and discard the seeds. Using scissors, cut the chiles into 1/4-inch | 5-mm pieces. Soak them in warm water to cover for 10 minutes. Drain them well. Combine the chiles, tamarind liquid, garlic, shallots, ginger, lemongrass or lime zest, oil, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, ketchup, and basil in a food processor and process them into a purée. Arrange the chicken in a large, shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Cover and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and pour the marinade into a saucepan. Heat it to a boil and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Taste it and adjust the seasonings. Remove it from the heat and transfer it to a bowl.
Prepare your grill for indirect medium heat, with a pan underneath the unheated side of the grill to catch the drippings. Place the chicken on the grill and cook it for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160˚F | 71˚C, basting it every 5 minutes with the marinade. At the last minute, move the chicken thighs to the hot side of the grill and toss them about to crisp the skins, taking care not to burn them. Place the chicken on a serving dish, spoon over the remaining basting sauce, and serve it immediately.
Barbecue Secret
Chicken thighs cooked with wood smoke will usually develop a smoke ring—turning the meat close to the outside a characteristic pink color. Inexperienced guests can sometimes mistake this for underdone fowl. Reassure them by making sure you monitor the internal temperature of the meat during cooking and remove the chicken only after it has reached the desired 160°F | 71°C at its thickest part.
Asian Noodle Salad with Sesame Mayonnaise
Makes 3–4 servings
This is a great summer salad that goes well with grilled chicken or any Asian-flavored grilled or barbecued meat. I like to use rice spaghetti noodles (as opposed to Asian rice vermicelli, which doesn’t have the same chewiness). You can find rice spaghetti noodles in health food stores, but plain old durum wheat spaghetti also works well.
For the sesame mayonnaise:
1 cup | 250 mL mayonnaise
1 tsp | 5 mL toasted sesame oil
1/2 tsp | 2 mL soy sauce (or to taste)
1 tsp | 5 mL Chinese chili sauce or
spicy Szechuan chili oil (or to taste)
1 Tbsp | 15 mL grated fresh lemon,
lime or orange rind
For the salad:
one 1 lb | 500 g package rice or wheat spaghetti noodles
2 Tbsp | 25 mL chopped cilantro
1 to 2 Tbsp | 15 to 25 mL toasted
sesame seeds (to taste)
2 fresh limes, cut into wedges
Combine the dressing ingredients in a bowl, cover it, and refrigerate the sesame mayonnaise for at least a few hours or overnight.
Cook the noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water for 8–10 minutes, or until they’re al dente. Drain the noodles and rinse them with cold water. Drain them again thoroughly. Toss them with the sesame mayo, cilantro, and sesame seeds. Serve the salad garnished with lime wedges.

Daniel J. Lewis from "The Audacity to Podcast" visits Podcasting 101 to talk all things podcasting. If you haven't guessed by now...it's sort of what we both do. Though Daniel had been around quite a bit longer than I. He's got this "How to" podcasting thing down! Wait...wait...before you click unsubscribe and hightail it over to his podcast I would just like to say...there is room in your feed for both of ours shows! LOL
Daniel also runs his own network, Noodle.mx network. He has a handful of shows on the network as well as another fist full of shows that he has brought into the network. He has a ton of advice to give and hands it out freely on this show...not to mention weekly on his podcast...and his blog! This man is a jack of all trades when it comes to podcasting. Without even knowing it he's kind of a mentor, I think he's doing great things for us podcasters and for that I'd like to say thank you! Now, we do things a bit different, and thats ok...but at the end of the day we both love podcasting and we both love helping people out!
Also, if you're looking to run a companion podcast, a podcast about a TV show series then this episode goes deap into how exactly to go about doing that. Lots of great information! This is something that I've been working on myself. I soon will be launching my own "Companion TV show podcast" so it was something that I was interested in learning!
Also, in the near future I hope to have running blog up soon on the "Under re-construction" website and I hope I can be half as helpful as Daniel. I really do recommend checking out his website and saying hey to him on Twitter @TheRamenNoodle.
Thanks again Daniel for coming on the show and I hope we get a chance to yap again in the future!

A.K.A. The Angry Ginger
On today's show I will walk you through the preparation of a terrific Ethnic recipe that comes from Southeast Asia, Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup. I explain in detail how to create this wonderful dish that is inexpensive, healthy and delicious.
We get to discussing religion, or in our case, the lack thereof...
Welcome to our first episode of Personalities. This show will feature real people telling their real stories. Their highs and lows, triumphs and failures and what has brought them to where they are in life today. You will hear their insights on the struggles they have faced and the drive and passion that have carried them through to the success and happiness they enjoy today.
On this episode we feature our inaugural guest, Daniel J. Lewis of the Noodle.MX podcast network. Daniel has been a podcaster since 2007 and is the producer and host of the clean comedy podcast "The Ramen Noodle" and the popular how-to-podcast show "The Audacity To Podcast". Daniel is a full time podcaster, web and graphic designer and he talks with us in this episode about what led him to begin podcasting, as well as valuable insights on how to build a successful podcast, website and what it takes to last over the long term and to not pod-fade after a few episodes. He’ll share the story of his life over the past several years of turning his passion and hobby into his livelihood all while obtaining balance between the effort and time it takes building a successful business, enjoying his personal life and sharing with his wife in a rewarding and loving marriage
The life of a podcaster is a busy one and without proper planning, knowledge, and self-motivation most simply disappear after a few episodes. Daniel discusses with us why someone must have a passion for pursuing podcasting. As he says frequently on his podcast, The Audacity To Podcast, you must have POD to podcast (Passion, Organization and Dialogue).
So join us now as we share in the story of a man as he pursues his dreams on the road to success and more importantly, happiness.
