What's with the Pineapple? · 2026-03-23 · 51 min
What's with the Pineapple is making history this episode - first ever remote segment (Justin's phoning it in from Traverse City, literally) and Emily's first solo interview. The segments cover a big tip credit win out of Chicago, where the City Council voted to halt the phase-out, Justin's productive DC fly-in for Restaurants Act, movement on Michigan's open and obvious doctrine, and Grand Rapids swinging big (hopefully) on a 600-room convention hotel. Emily also takes a massive bite out of Burget King's new marketing campaign. In the second half, Emily sits down with Diana Woodward of Plymouth Canton Educational Park and Katie Agacinski of DCTC at Riverview - first place finishers in culinary and management at this year's record-breaking ProStart state competition. They talk nationals, what makes ProStart students hireable, and why making a judge tear up is a legitimate benchmark for success. Presented by the MRL Fund.
