Maggiano's Little Italy
Even with excellent people, you cannot build the best restaurant company overnight. We've chosen to follow a sensible, well-managed and well-paced growth plan that will allow us to have a strong, long-term presence in every major U.S. metropolitan market from coast to coast. Maggiano's Little Italy® truly is a very special group of restaurants. Technically, we're a "chain," but in principle, we're more like an extended family. Each restaurant is similar in menu and philosophy but is built to reflect the history of its host city. Inside, high-energy, full-service dining rooms reminiscent of pre-war Little Italy, elegant banquet facilities and customer-friendly carryout leave no doubt you're visiting an authentic Maggiano's restaurant. When we talk about our culture, we talk about our people and our food in equal doses with a healthy addition of passion. It's a recipe that has yielded great results. We've become a place where people find a permanent home. From entry-level employees to the most senior of our staff, our people call Maggiano's "family." This may explain why we have one of the lowest turnover rates in the industry. Our passion for people, food and service unites us all. Our common goal is to build Maggiano's into the best Southern Italian Restaurant Company. Not the biggest, just the best. How will we do it? By providing the tools our people need to be successful and, more importantly, by providing personalized time and support to each individual.www.maggianos.com

Asif SuriaHOST
The other hand, Cheesecake Factory, which has the wonderful ticker CAKE, announced wrong third quarter earnings that handily beat expectations, and the stock is now up 137% over the last year.
Asif SuriaHOST
Similarly, Brinker International, which has the equally cool ticker EAT and operates the Chili's brands and Maggiano's Little Italy, has seen its stock price rise 102% over the last year.
Asif SuriaHOST
The reason I bring all of this up is because there's another casual dining company that has not done quite as well as Cheesecake Factory or Brinker International.
Asif SuriaHOST
And it is now facing pressure from an investor group that wants to buy the company.
Kevin HochmanGUEST
Brinker
Mike RockefellerHOST
is the owner of Chili's Grill & Bar and Maggiano's, with about 1,600 restaurants and $5.8 billion in annual revenue.
Mike RockefellerHOST
Since joining Brinker in 2022, Kevin has led one of the most remarkable turnarounds in the restaurant industry.
Kevin HochmanGUEST
And they got their cheese plank and they'd pull it and it kept going and going.
Steve CavendishHOST
They execute.
Steve CavendishHOST
I mean, so I know a chef here in town, for instance, who came up at Maggiano's before he ends up...
Braden GallHOST
Man, lots of free shots today.
Steve CavendishHOST
He ends up working at kind of like a couple of his own places, and now he's working for like a big national kind of group of restaurants.

Jim CramerHOST
All throughout this summer, shares of Kramer fame, Brinker International, the restaurant company that owns Chili's Grill and Bar and Maggiano's Little Italy, they were surging.
Jim CramerHOST
But with oil prices and interest rates climbing this fall, investors got nervous about consumer stocks and some of them took profits in Brinker.
Jim CramerHOST
That was a big mistake.

Kevin HochmanGUEST
We sell margaritas from $6 all the way up to 12 or 13, depending on the type of things that you want and the quality of tequila that you want.
Kevin HochmanGUEST
So quite frankly, as long as we meet every guest need and continue to grow traffic, we'll be able to expand margins, even in an inflationary environment.
Jim CramerHOST
All right, and Maggiano's, we're just still...
Kevin HochmanGUEST
Trying to figure it out,
Andrei JikhHOST
Their gas is always the most expensive gas station, so I don't actually use them, which is hilarious because I actually own quite a bit of shares of Shell and they pay very handsomely of $61.10. And then EAT.
Andrei JikhHOST
Paid me $3.80. Another company you're like, what is Eat? Well, it's Brinker International and they own Chili's and Maggiano's Italy restaurants where they franchise this stuff out.
Andrei JikhHOST
So again, kind of like what is this Eat Brinker International? Well, they own brands you might have gone to eat at.
Andrei JikhHOST
So that's what I'm talking about.
Ken ShreveGUEST
They also operate an Italian chain that isn't doing nearly as well as Chili's, but Brinker.
Ken ShreveGUEST
That's called Maggiano's.
Ken ShreveGUEST
But the Chili's continues to deliver just tremendous results for Brinker.
Ken ShreveGUEST
The same-store sales up an impressive 10.1%.
Michael BrownHOST
Another loss for the dumb run city of Denver.
Michael BrownHOST
Maggiano's at 16th and Tremont has a sign on its door that says closed until further notice.
Michael BrownHOST
It's been down there for at least two decades.
Michael BrownHOST
