Take-Away with Sam Oches, Nation’s Restaurant News’ podcast in which our editor-in-chief sits down with founders and executives to learn their tricks of the trade, celebrated three years in 2024.
Throughout the year, Sam spoke with dozens of industry insiders about their operations, from the president of fast-growing drive-thru beverage chain HTeaO to serial entrepreneur Robert Thompson to “Restaurant Impossible” star Robert Irvine.
In each episode, Sam shares his conversation, and then outlines his takeaways from the chat — actionable insights that busy restaurant operators can take with them and implement into their businesses.
In this gallery, we’re sharing the 10 most-listened-to episodes of the year, the ones our listeners found the most valuable. They include conversations with the leaders of Gott’s Roadside, &pizza, L&L Hawaiian BBQ, and more. Get those episodes above, and come back throughout 2025 for more interviews and takeaways.
