In this episode, I break down how GLP-1 drugs are already affecting consumer spending and what restaurants need to do to be prepared. I then focus on decision-making and how it can better your career, using real-world examples from those within the Line Cook Nation. From there, we discuss a NY Times article sharing nine food predictions for restaurants that I believe to be a very accurate assessment of what may come.
