Check'in In with the State of Food and Beverage

In this episode, Peter Ricci and Jeremy Nichols sit down with two senior leaders shaping the future of hospitality to get a clear, grounded take on where Food and Beverage stands today and where it is headed next.

Joining the conversation are Sam Bakhshandehpour, Global CEO of José Andrés Group, and Sarah King, Chief People Officer at Darden. Together, they share real world insight on operating pressure, talent strategy, culture, growth, and what leaders need to be thinking about as we move into 2026.

This is an honest, executive-level conversation about what is working, what is broken, and what smart operators should be doing right now.
