Episode 387: Restaurant Industry Notches Some Surprise Wins On Election Night

We are joined by Mike Whatley, Vice President of State Affairs & Grassroots Advocacy at the National Restaurant Association to analyze this week’s election results, what they mean for the industry, and what they mean for next year’s legislative agenda.

And Big Food is in the news this week as a new coalition has been organized to push back against-state level MAHA copycat legislation and push the federal government for preemption over ingredient laws for manufacturers.

We’ll talk about those issues and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
