Interview with Founder of the Taste of the NFL Wayne Kostroski

Looking forward to having the Founder of the Taste of the NFL Wayne Kostroski join us in the Pro Business Channel studios for a special episode of Georgia Business Radio!  #KickHunger Guest Tickets for the event on Sale Now at: www.TasteoftheNFL.com

Taste of the NFL is in Atlanta! This year's event will take place on Saturday, February 2, 2019 at the Cobb Galleria. Guest Tickets for the event on Sale Now at: www.TasteoftheNFL.com

The Taste of the NFL’s annual strolling wine and food event features a chef from each NFL city serving their signature dish alongside a current or alumni NFL player. The result? 35+ food stations where guests can sample fine cuisine, meet and mingle with renowned chefs and NFL greats and participate in a silent auction with unique sports memorabilia and other exciting items.

The Hunger Issue

As you read this, millions of people in America are struggling with hunger. In fact, 1 out of 6 people in our country face this serious issue – many of them are children and seniors. For over 25 years, Taste of the NFL has been working to kick hunger. While we're proud to report that we've raised more than $25 million during that time, we're saddened to report that the need to do more is greater than ever. We hope you'll support our efforts by becoming a contributor or partner in our mission.

Taste of the NFL Mission:  To address the needs of the hungry and homeless by raising awareness and money through special events and programs.

Each year, net proceeds from the Taste of the NFL's programs and events are donated to designated Feeding America affiliated food banks in each of the 32 NFL team cities, as well as other select hunger relief organizations.

Since 1992, the Taste of the NFL (a 501c3 organization) has rallied the country  top chefs and the
NFL's greatest players to raise money in support of food banks throughout the United States. To date, Taste of the NFL’s programs and events have raised and donated in excess of $26 million to food banks and nonprofit organizations in the 32 NFL cities, resulting in 220 million meals for Americans in need (many of them children and seniors), who have turned to their local food banks for assistance. The season long efforts culminate each year with the Taste of the NFL’s Party with a Purpose®. Held on the eve of Super Bowl LIII on Saturday, Feb. 2, 2019 in Atlanta, this year’s star-studded fundraising event brings together exceptional cuisine, prominent chefs from around the country, celebrities, NFL players, coaches, legends and more, all to support the fight against hunger. Learn more about Taste of the NFL at TasteoftheNFL.com

The Kick Hunger Challenge is an online-only fundraising campaign spearheaded by Taste of the NFL. This friendly “competition” pits fans from all 32 NFL teams against each other to raise money for food banks in NFL communities nationwide. Throughout the 2018-19 football season, fans will have the opportunity to support one of the 32 NFL teams and directly impact the donation of thousands of meals to food banks in their team’s community. Learn more about the Kick Hunger Challenge at kickhungerchallenge.com

Kostroski is founder of Taste of the NFL, a mainstay event on the eve of the Super Bowl since 1992. The fundraising event, which pairs celebrity chefs and football greats representing each NFL team and serving plates at 35+ food stations, has raised more than $25 million dollars for hunger relief since its inception. “Giving is Good Business” is Kostroski’s motto and theme of his many presentations. “We are all fortunate to be so passionate about what we do every day,” Kostroski acknowledged during his MRA acceptance speech. “Together we all focus on changing lives and creating memories for everyone we encounter in our cafes, restaurants and foodservice operations. We are all truly blessed to work in the hospitality industry.” Kostroski is co-owner of Cuisine Concepts, a full-service consulting and management company offering specialized services to the hospitality industry. His entrée into the food and hospitality industry began in the late 1970s. A professional musician at the time, he was offered the opportunity to enter into the restaurant industry as the beverage and entertainment manager for the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres and the St. James hotel in Red Wing, Minn. Since 1980, he has played an instrumental role in creating and developing several of the Twin Cities premier dining establishments, including Pronto Ristorante, Figlio, Tejas, Goodfellow’s, and Bar Abilene.

Kostroski is also currently co-owner of Franklin Street Bakery (FSB), a national wholesale bakery founded in 1990. The breads of FSB can be found in restaurants and hotels in over 20 states. In addition to be honored by the MRA, Kostroski has received numerous local and national recognitions, including:

Woman Owned CBD Oil Manufacturer and Canna Bistro Founder Swan Simpson on CoFounders Podcast‌

Swan Simpson
Canna Bistro 

Brief Description of Your Product or Service:
We are a woman owned CBD oil producer/manufacturer and infused eats start up based in Atlanta.

A family business on a mission to heal the world. We wanted to introduce our city to a better way of eating and incorporating this miraculous CBD oil into our daily lives. As a self-trained Vegetarian/Vegan Chef, I've spent more than 30 years perfecting wholefoods based recipes and formulations. In early 2018, I created a super-foods menu for casual smoothies & tonics (served at our pop ups and storefront). And we just added my secret private menu built around cuisine made with our own organically grown CBD oil (THC FREE). Our menu is mostly vegan & vegetarian and largely gluten-free. We have meticulously sourced the highest in quality ingredients to offer a full spectrum of organically grown and/or sustainable produced organic sugars, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and our own house blended CBD oil. Choosing local ingredients, community farmers & small suppliers when available. Our entire menu is made with love, peace, harmony, balance.

Show Topics:
What Is CBD Oil?
CBD oil is the short form of the term cannabidiol oil. Cannabidiol is a natural component of cannabis or hemp. CBD oil is cannabis oil that has a significant content of cannabidiol. It is made from the flowers, leaves and stalks of hemp not just the seeds, but the whole plant.

Canna Bistro Organic CBD Oil
Fully Traceable From Seed to Oil
Made in small batches by artisans in Georgia using organic cannabidiol. Extracted using super critical CO2 process, contains no pesticides, solvents, heavy metals, mold, or bacteria. 3rd party tested to insure purity and potency. No THC. 

What Is CBD used for?
Many in the medical community are using hemp derived CBD oil to manage and treat conditions. The research with hemp derived cbd (no THC) includes pain, inflammation, a wide range terminal and chronic conditions including cancer, epilepsy, diabetes, hypertension, depression, anxiety,brain injury, fibroids, insomnia, tumors, kidney disease, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, liver inflammation, heart disease, Additional pre-clinical studies show therapeutic benefits in the management of chronic pain, depression, anxiety, nausea, schizophrenia, PTSD, alcoholism, strokes, other cardiovascular disease. The research involves far too many others to list here. 

Decadent Brownies, Smoothies, Tonics, & Concoctions 
Specially prepared mouth watering vegan, vegetarian dishes infused with our Chef's own Colorado grown Canna Bistro blended CBD Oil. All dishes meticulously paired with infused vegan wines, cbd lemonade tonics & cocktails, served with a mixture of cosmopolitan flair...  and don't forget Momma T's "BIG A" Brownie.

There is nothing cliche about great-granny's name sake brownie. Indulge in this chocolate on chocolate walnut centered brownie; soaked in Tennessee moonshine and infused with Canna Bistro CBD oil. Our BEST SELLER!

Bio for Paul Hochman - America’s Technology Reporter
Connect with Paul Hochman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulhochman

As the Gear and Technology Editor for the NBC TODAY Show, Mr. Hochman has spent over 10 years mingling with TV hosts who wonder how he got on the set.

Matt Lauer still pretends not to know him when he sees him in the Green Room at 30 Rock. Al Roker will now appear in public with Mr. Hochman only when he's wearing a fur hat or juggling oranges.

And Bill Gates? Hochman's exclusive Today Show interview with Gates about a then-breakthrough Microsoft technology likely got Gates's entire security staff fired.

During Mr. Hochman's time with the TODAY Show, he has covered Olympic gear and technology at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, the 2004 Athens Summer Olympics, the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino; and the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver.

He was also the technology and culture reporter for Versus TV and the Tour de France; the host of an online technology talk show on MSN called "Playit4Ward" and has been a longtime technology contributor for CNBC and MSNBC.

Mr. Hochman atoned for his life in morning TV by becoming a journalist. He was a Contributing Writer for Fast Company Magazine, focusing on technology and design; his article about 'sexy prosthetics' was called a "Must Read" by the editorial staff of The New York Times.

Mr. Hochman was also a founding writer for The New York Times's sports-focused Sunday Magazine, called PLAY; wrote for FORTUNE Magazine; and has been a contributing editor for SKI Magazine. For 10 years, he was that magazine's Ski Test Director, directing the testing of all new gear. He was nominated for an Olympic Media Award for his work with The Wall Street Journal.

Finally, Mr. Hochman is an accomplished athlete. He has a black belt in the Uechi-Ryu style of Karate and was member of the Dartmouth Men's Alpine Ski Team. He speaks French and Italian, graduated cum Laude from Dartmouth College, and has 4 children. He is married to an Olympian, Carrie Sheinberg, who skis faster than he ever will.
