I think every week now is just pinned to my, what am I gonna talk about wee bit of joy, and then I have a little bit of joy, and I'm like, "That's my wee bit of joy." So, um, I wanna talk this week about food as a meme.

It's a long story how this came up, but I was thinking about the Cronut, because why wouldn't I be? For those of you who don't know, [chuckles] back in 2013, back in New York City downtown, Dominique Ansel, who has this bakery, basically crossed a croissant with a donut.
Ross KaganHOST

Jeremy GoldmanHOST
Uh, so we're not gonna talk about Nashville.

KFC is launching a 3,400 square foot test restaurant concept called Open House, okay? They opened it on, uh, September 26th, happy birthday to my brother, um, to, designed to test new menu items and operational features before scaling them nationwide, okay? Now they're trying things like m- breakfast sandwiches, mini Cronuts, coffee, alongside boba refreshers, fried green beans, table service, self-ordering kiosks, and dual drive-through lanes.
Jeremy GoldmanHOST
Um, and this is part of like a broader rebranding, uh, by Yum Brands.
Jeremy GoldmanHOST
So I thought that this was really interesting.
