If the toys were paired with meals that contained cage-free turkey and avocado sandwiches, veggies sticks, and organic apple juice, would there still be this push to ban them? The real issue here, the ten ton elephant in the dining room, is that the…

Paul, Though the marketing and product placement to kids is definitely deplorable, the purchase of these products is ultimately up to the parents. I have yet to see 4 year old whip out his debit card to pay for a box of Lucky Charms or Little Debbi…

Let's be realistic, Paul. The ordinance in question isn't going to do anything to lessen marketing to children if that is your cause. Instead it will take the choice away from parents who still want it (76 percent do, according to the poll). Logisti…

Angelica, I'm afraid I disagree with you. Marketing to impressionable children, who don't have the ability to make reasoned decisions, is deplorable. Television programs are adept at this practice in commercials and product placement, and grocery s…

Take action: Help the CRA stop the Santa Clara County Toy Ban

The Santa Clara Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance that bans most toys and other incentives for children in restaurants in the unincorporated area of the county on April 27. The California Restaurant Association strongly opposed the ordinance, which was authored by Supervisor Ken Yeager. A CRA-commissioned poll of county residents revealed that a strong majority of them were against it, as well. The board acted in total disregard of its constituency, however, passing the

An eye on the industry’s future

Earlier this month, nearly 100 high school students descended on Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Sacramento for the eighth annual Boyds Coffee Culinary Cup competition. Teams competed in culinary and management events, which involved preparing a three-course meal in 60 minutes and presenting a new restaurant concept, respectively. The students showc… Continue

Losing Trust in Green

The experts agree that implementing eco-friendly business practices is no longer an option or luxury upgrade when the going is good, it’s a necessity to even compete.

Time for an Internet intervention

In the course of publishing a magazine for restaurateurs, we spend a lot of time perusing restaurant Web sites and considering how these eateries approach their online presence. At times, we ooh and aah over a site's ease of use, simple yet dynamic aesthetic and effective usability on our perpetually-in-use iPhones.

Tapping your voice

Maybe it’s a little late to be making New Year’s resolutions, but the 2010s are still in their infancy, so it’s only appropriate to be looking ahead at what’s in store.
Though the economic doom-and-gloom seems to be leveling out, the ongoing industry changes and battles continue. This is the time to get involved.
The National Restaurant Association 2010 Industry Forecast released last week predicts that, despite a tumu… Continue

I'm curious if you're planning any upcoming features on the mobile food truck trend? Is this movement active in Sacramento?
Does CRA have services that cater to this segment of the food marketplace?
Thx.
