kettle , which makes gourmet style crisps , nuts and tortilla chips , was founded in oregon , u . s . , in 1978 .
there was a deliberate decision to put the innovation center here , part of it being the history of innovation at kettle ,
mensch said , noting that diamond foods actually is headquartered in san francisco .
innovation is in its heart blood . we wanted to bring that to all the other brands .
by late 2005 , kettle foods chips had acquired 52 percent of the market share of the “salty snack” category in natural food stores , but only 1 percent of that market in all u . s . food stores . in early 2006 , the company hired two executives with experience at starbucks , frito - lay , and pepsi . within three years , kettle foods had captured 18 percent of the u . s . market share in the “premium potato chip” category . in 1982 , the company made $ 3 million in sales ; by 2008 , sales were $ 235 million . the company employed about 300 people in salem in 2006 .
recognizing a market for his chips in the united kingdom , healy began production in norwich , england , in february 1989 ; by june , u . k . sales were 10 percent of the company’s total . kettle foods opened factories in vancouver , b . c . , in 1989 and springfield , ohio , in 2001 .
kettle foods began in 1978 in salem with cameron healy , who took out a $ 10 , 000 bank loan to found company n . s . khalsa and produce nut and trail mixes . healy turned to potato chips in 1982 , producing them from oregon russet burbank potatoes and pushing a less - processed variety than competitors .
when kettle foods began producing kettle chips in salem in 1982 , the company was making the only all - natural , hand - cooked potato chips in the western united states . the company quickly established a standard that evolved into a trend - setting , multi - million - dollar segment of the potato chip industry . founder cameron healy said he had
no master plan , ” but he “wanted to develop products of natural integrity
and “take natural foods to the world . ” by 2011 , with its signature line of potato chips , the company had acquired a strong and growing international market share and had become a supporter for social and environmental causes .

“until now , we’ve only been trading with the kettle brand , but together with snyder’s - lance , we want to develop a much larger snack portfolio .
to take advantage of some of the benefits that smaller brands generate , large cpgs can either build or buy their way to faster growth . consider artisan chips — high - end potato chips cooked in small batches — a category dominated by two small players : cape cod and kettle chips . frito - lay entered this category with lay’s kettle cooked , positioning the product as a lower - priced alternative to cape cod and kettle products and as a healthier way to enjoy lay’s potato chips . lay’s “category captain” position in traditional flat potato chips gave frito - lay the power to influence product placement in grocery stores and supermarkets . and with that advantage , in 2015 sales of lay’s kettle cooked chips hit $ 368 million , outstripping cape cod potato chips’ sales of $ 225 million , and kettle brand’s $ 181 million .

one blogger , steve wilson , wrote to the firm :
i am disgusted that kettle chips is engaged in union - busting activities , including non - disclosure to its own employees about the anti - union stance of the supposedly impartial consultancy company omega training .
our italian roots inspired this chip cooked in 100 % pure olive oil for a rich , aromatic flavor . made with premium american grown potatoes from an original family recipe , they’re kettle cooked in small batches , thickly sliced , deliciously seasoned and satisfyingly . . .
as a result , the brothers decided to develop their own snack brand by creating a kettle - cooked chip that was thicker than traditional varieties . so , in 1983 , bob’s texas style potato chips was born . after only three years , the chips became so popular with consumers that the brothers sold the business to a partner , moved to arizona and launched the poore brothers brand . starting with only a single kettle and one delivery truck , they relied on sampling and word - of - mouth advertising to grow the business .

and the winner . here is greasy , crunchy proof that doing weird stuff with chips can pay off . they’re tangy , they’re innovative and weirdest of all , whatever kettle put on them tastes exactly like pepperoncini . all hail pepperoncini , king of the chip flavors .
healy opened a 25 , 000 - square - foot plant in july 1982 in downtown salem , where the company established a process that was a return to early twentieth - century methods : cooking individual batches of thin - sliced potatoes in vats of hot oil . in 1988 , he changed his company ' s name to kettle foods . the company’s manufacturing process uses safflower oil and packs chips in sea salt and nitrogen to preserve freshness . the company also uses russet burbank potatoes , which it buys from pacific northwest farmers , and does not use monosodium glutamate or artificial colors , flavors , or sweeteners .
since 1978 , kettle chips has been raising the bar on the potato game with bolder flavors , thicker chips , and enough crunch to humble nestlé . now , they ' re everywhere , with a cult of greasy - fingered followers ready to swallow up whatever they concoct .

voted america’s # 1 potato chip by rachel raythis is a taste you know but made better by our crunchy , golden kettle chips . boulder canyon™ sea salt & cracked pepper potato chips have a zesty pinch of salt combined with a kick of pepper . think you . . .
kettle chips , by contrast , have spent their time in this era of crazy chips experimenting with flavors we might actually want to eat . and they’ve done it to some successful ends . so we rounded up every flavor they’ve got and started crunching . here are the results .
while other snack food brands are busy altering their recipes to become trans - fat and preservative free , kettle ' s flavors have never been cooked up in a lab - - they ' re made the hard way , staying true to the company ' s all - natural promise .
all that growth led to kettle tapping its first - ever ad agency of record , cultivator advertising & design , denver . the move was made mainly to help maintain a consistent representation of the brand across its portfolio of products , which includes tortilla chips , nuts and nut butters .
unlike our writer dan gentile , i don’t worship at the altar of cock sauce . just smelling it gives me heartburn ( it doesn’t take much for me ) , and this bag has the same powerful smell . i do love the flavor , though - - red chile , garlic , vinegar , and sugar are wonderful bedfellows - - and though some might slight kettle’s sriracha for being too mellow , it allows me to finally get a taste of hipster ketchup without losing esophageal lining . so . . . well played kettle . and shut up , dan gentile .
long before the natural foods movement went mainstream , springfield creamery found its niche there , with its signature brand , nancy’s yogurt , made with milk from local dairies , fruit from nearby farms , and natural sweeteners . the family - run company , with roots deep in 1960s counterculture , sells nationwide today . annual sales exceeded $ 20 million . . .

the strategy paid off and , in 1996 , the company went public with the help of a private investment group . soon after the ipo , acquisitions started when bob’s texas style potato chips was bought back in 1998 . a bluffton , indiana , facility – the location where t . g . i . friday’s snack foods are produced – was acquired in 1999 , and the boulder canyon brand was purchased in 2000 .
he chose norfolk as our home , where you can still find us to this day , in order to be as close as possible to many of our potato growers . our first home was actually the corner of an old converted shoe factory in norwich . and so , from humble beginnings , the first kettle® chips were produced in the uk .

vips is a restaurant chain in south korea owned by the cj foodville of cj group .

its operations span china .

cj foodville plans to set up some 100 restaurants in china by 2017 .

vips ( restaurant )

vips smart is the fast casual version of vips . it offers the best of a vips restaurant but in a fast format . vips smart proposes a selection of the most iconic vips dishes with the same quality yet faster service from a counter and at a lower price .
madrid ( reuters ) - spanish investment fund proa capital will acquire a 30 percent stake in restaurant group vips from goldman sachs for an undisclosed amount , vips said in a statement on thursday .
we manages it internally owned or through franchising agreements , 6 chains : vips , vips smart , ginos , starbucks in spain and portugal , fridays y wagamama .
and the best restaurants make their vips feel important without ever letting their other guests know that they’re second tier : preparing for vips is a quiet dance that happens largely behind the scenes .
this place seems by far overrated . it is basic burgers ( not bad and definitely not the best ) . feels like being in a hallway as the set up of the restaurant feels like a large open place . nothing special about this restaurant chain .
cj foodville plans to set up some 20 vips restaurants in china by 2013 , aiming at 100 by 2017 .
“our vips are people who we know very well who come in a lot , ” says justin aprahamian , the chef and owner of milwaukee , wi restaurant sanford . though the restaurant often attracts baseball players and musicians during the summer and will usually send them something extra , those people may not visit milwaukee again . “we take care of those vips but don’t make it a show , ” aprahamian says . “we don’t want our local guests watching a celebrity get special treatment while they’re getting ignored . ”
before a vip even sets foot inside the restaurant , most establishments have been anticipating their arrival for hours ( that is , unless someone has made a reservation under another name to preserve his or her privacy ) . at the beginning of each shift , the manager at hugo’s restaurant in houston , texas goes over the night’s reservations with the host , making notes on incoming vips or celebrities .
in the middle of mirpur area vip is a stand aside restaurant , owner is a korean and food is good as well as very much affordable , been in this restaurant countless times and it never let me down . if you are at mirpur then spend . . .
in the middle of mirpur area vip is a stand aside restaurant , owner is a korean and food is good as well as very much affordable , been in this restaurant countless times and it never let me down . if you are at mirpur then spend one or two hours here
you can find a vips restaurant at your convenience everywhere you go in mexico city . the menu is varied , you can either choose an entree , main dish , salad , coffee and dessert . it’s not very expensive and you play safe if you go there !
the vips discount cards are well worth using , and if you are a regular customer you can get as much as 50 % off your meal at the end of the month . the cards are good at all vips locations around mexico . our oaxaca eggs and . . .

south korea was first introduced with the concept of casual dining in 1992 , when a u . s . brand restaurant launched in seoul ,
gwak kyu - do , head of cj foodville ' s china operation , told yonhap news agency .
in twenty years , we were able to export korean homegrown restaurant brands to china .
i had a good coffee , and enchiladas . . . good attention . good price , excellent coffee . for a good and fast mexican food , this is a good restaurant .
in beijing ' s northeastern residential district of lido , widely known for its exposure to foreign culture , cj foodville has recently set up its multi - restaurant cultural space called cj food world .
most restaurants keep track of their who’s - who of the night’s reservations through a ( hopefully ) secret series of acronyms . instead of writing “vip” next to a guest’s name , kachka uses “hp , ” meaning “high profile . ” some restaurants may refer to vips as “soigné , ” a french term meaning someone who is elegant or well - groomed and in restaurant lingo means , “don’t make a mistake with this table or else . ”
in a bid to tap the much - coveted market , cj foodville corp . , south korea ' s largest restaurant franchise , has thrown down the gauntlet to chinese and foreign competitors , vowing to delight chinese consumers with its culinary pleasures .
cj food world acts as the flagship store for dozens of other cj foodville franchise stores operating across china , creating a place where customers can experience different aspects of dining - out from a cafe , bakery and restaurant to a cooking studio .
the program can track over 50 different data points automatically — anniversaries , birthdays , allergies , or favorite bottles of wine are just a few . even more useful for giant restaurant groups is the ability to share this data between locations . if john smith is a regular at hip new restaurant in new york and then goes to its sister locations in los angeles or miami , his vip status will go with him . but sevenrooms aims to be about more than just making sure big spenders are always recognized .
the leading casual dining chain in the united states , it specializes in american food . it offers real american tex - mex cuisine and cocktail making in an informal setting where fun reigns . grupo vips manages eleven fridays restaurants in spain .
proa capital will also take 12 . 5 million euros ( $ 14 . 1 million ) of a 41 . 5 - million - euro rights issue planned by vips , which holds the franchise rights for starbucks and fridays in spain .
in a separate move , cj foodville will speed up the expansion of its high - end steakhouse vips , starting from the northern part of china , under the partnership with state - run food processing and logistics firm beijing capital agribusiness group .
ate here as a family . menu looked good and restaurant looked nice from the door . it shares space and entrance hall with gino’s italian , on gran via . the cheese on the chicken burger was like a craft cheese slice . the well done steak was medium . . .
food is not just bad , its aweful . in buffet , the food never refills . poor catering quality , no table cutlaries and waiters does not even know what they are doing . i was really hungry and found this restaurant in news paper . it just ruined my day .
i have been in the restaurant on 16th nov . 2014 . with my family and a friend . ordered from menu and request to waiter not to made up dishes with buffet food . withich was resting on display all day long . finally food served in the table . . .
after two hours on the hop on hop off bus in mexico - city , we were hungry and neede to eat . there were so many places close to our hotel so we randomly chose this restaurant . we were not disappointed with the venue and the meal . my . . .
it is the first installment of cj food world outside south korea , housing cj foodville ' s four different brands - - premium steakhouse vips , global korean food brand bibigo , organic bakery tous les jours and trendy cafe twosome coffee - - in one place .
vips is a safe bet , food is good , large portions and the price is even better ! for me its like a mexican dennis , i would say that if you are in a hurry and you want to make sure you don ' t . . .
we were in town for some genealogy research and needed lunch . vips fit the bill . hubby had a medium rare ground beef steak and i had the lasagna . nothing fancy just good home cooking . pleasant staff , good food , worth a stop for lunch .
we opted for vips in the city centre as we thought that a food chain should be a cheap and safe option . the interior is not pleasant , it’s dark , tightly packed with tables and virtually no sunlight . we ordered a vegetarian falafel burger with fries . . .
i have been coming to vips in mexico city for 2 years , every time i return . i ' m always greeted by polite and friendly staff . the tables and chairs are clean . menus are in both spanish and english . excellent ! the variety of food is . . .
but all this information restaurants collect on vips have to be wielded carefully . one of kachka’s regulars “came in with who we thought was his wife for quite some time , ” morales recalls . “we had lists of notes on their likes and dislikes but when he came in with his actual wife , we had to get rid of those . we couldn’t offer the same types of drinks of even recognition that he’d ever been here before . ” ( it’s worth noting that some version of this story came up multiple times while reporting this article , and would almost seem like an urban restaurant legend if it weren’t true . )
our flagship brand . created in madrid in 1969 , it introduced an innovative concept to spain through a combination of a cafeteria and a shop in the same place , extended opening hours and quality iconic international and american dishes . nowadays , there are nearly a hundred locations and it has become one of the restaurant and retail leaders in spain .
wagamama , which means “willful” in japanese , was created in 1992 in london by chef alan yau . its successful offering made it the international leader in its market segment in just a few years . it is currently present in more than 20 countries and grupo vips is managing its license in spain .
the number one coffee roaster and distributor in the world . since its foundation in 1971 , starbucks has been committed to fair trade and producing the best arabica coffee in the world . grupo vips is an exclusive starbucks coffee international licensee with full rights to manage and develop the brand in spain and portugal .
i was not impressed with the vips menu or food . all they serve is basically fast food at fancy prices . it ' s a place for families that are looking for a quick and easy bite , but it ' s nothing memorable . the service is terrible ( just like in . . .
vips was a godsend when traveling with my ultra - picky 11 - year old daughter . after 2 days in madrid , eating only bread and cheese plus some granola bars i ' d packed for her in our luggage , i was happy to finally give her some protein ( albeit friend ) in . . .
the card didn’t go far , yet the feelings that caused a man to create this blackmail - note - in - credit - card - form are familiar to most restaurant - goers . “everyone wants to feel important , ” says israel morales , co - owner of kachka restaurant in portland , oregon . “every restaurateur would like to treat everyone the same way — and it looks good on paper to say that we do — but it’s not really the case . ” though restaurants aim to give everyone good service , regulars , big spenders , and friends of the staff often get special treatment in the form of a better table , free cocktails at the bar , or maybe even a few surprise courses courtesy of the chef .
vips is a greasy spoon . it ' s relatively clean . the service is relatively attentive . the food is relatively fine . it attracts the post - church crowd , and has pretty good breakfast . the two things that recommend the place are the rotating pie rack and the carne asada ( which is surprisingly good ) .
hugo’s manager makes sure vips are assigned an appropriate table ( a . k . a . the best or most private one in the house ) and notifies the kitchen in case the chef wants to prepare something special . usually this is an off - menu item or an item coordinated with the guest’s meal . these foods are rarely chosen ahead of time . ( if the entire table is ordering fish , few kitchens would send out red meat without knowing more information on the guests’ dietary preferences . ) “after that , we have a pre - shift meeting with the servers , ” says manuel ponce , hugo’s general manager . this is when the people who will be waiting on vips find out their night’s fate .
ginos is a chain of restaurants that specializes in quality authentic italian cuisine at a very affordable price . created at the end of the 1980 ' s by grupo vips , ginos is a chain that is constantly innovating and is known for warm , modern , cozy and cool settings . there are currently nearly a hundred locations throughout spain and it has become the undeniable sector leader .
you ' ll be created perfunctorily and led to a table or booth in this older , primarily greek inspired diner . the wait staff is friendly and helpful . vips does a great job with their dutch oven pancake , breakfast skillets ( love the greek skillet ) , and offers daily lunch and dinner specials , which are good values , in addition to their long menu . coffee is good ; beer and wine available .
if this is done well , guests are left with the feeling that they are both important and memorable . it’s important to not be so eerily specific that guests wonder whether there’s a physical memorial of what they’ve ordered during their other visits ( although , usually , there is ) . kachka describes its receipt collection as looking like “one of those murder detective maps of the city with pinpoints all over the wall , ” morales says . and it’s certainly not the only restaurant that has a meal - tracking receipt wall taking over a back office .
kachka also keeps dossiers on its regulars . “we try to recognize the details with everyone who comes in as much as we can , ” morales says . in some cases these are obvious things like dietary preferences or whether or not someone drinks alcohol . other times , kachka has noted that a guest is left handed and might organize the silverware differently on the table . “our vips have less to do with whether they’re known in the public sphere or not , ” morales says . “it’s that we recognize them as having been here before and know the things that they’ll notice . ”

hong kong / beijing , dec . 18 ( yonhap ) - - beijing , china ' s capital for the past 850 years and a burgeoning international metropolis , has also become a favorite destination for gourmets .
the political , economic , cultural and educational center of the world ' s most populous country offers not only the best of the chinese cuisines , but also a wide array of global food selections .
the two - story cj food world building stands on a street in beijing ' s northeastern district of lido . ( photo courtesy of cj foodville )
the consumer food service industry in china has experienced rapid growth in recent years .
economic growth , accelerating urbanization , increasing disposable income and changing consumption patterns have led to substantial growth in the consumer food service market in china .
according to the euromonitor report , the chinese consumer food service market grew from 1 . 39 trillion yuan in 2006 to 2 . 26 trillion yuan in 2010 , representing a compound annual growth rate of 13 percent during the five - year period .
the market size is expected to reach 3 . 72 trillion by 2015 , representing an annual growth rate of 9 . 9 percent from 2011 .
alixpartners llp , a global business - advisory firm , earlier predicted foreign restaurants will experience further growth in china , as they are estimated to make up only 1 to 2 percent of the chinese eating - out market , with fast - food chains such as kfc , mcdonald ' s and pizza hut being a major presence there .
increasing frequency of dining out for business , family and social gatherings can be witnessed in china , thanks to expanding affluence and the faster pace of life .
while the alixpartners survey found that chinese consumers still prefer chinese - style dining overall , more young adults in china spend their dining out expenditures in non - chinese restaurants , citing a cleaner atmosphere and better service .
following the success of the first cj food world in china , cj foodville has agreed with soho china ltd . , beijing ' s largest property developer , to open a larger one in qianmen , the capital ' s most popular commercial district .
the opening of the new cj food world , which is to take place in early 2013 , will generate a significant lift in the company ' s brand awareness among beijing consumers , cj foodville officials said .
the chinese firm , also known as sunlon , has experience of working with u . s . franchises such as kfc and mcdonald ' s , cj officials said .

great place , have to have the tortilla lime soup . i usually have a custom made skillet , i have never had another place made it quite as good , and i have been to numerous places across the nation . always have been a happy customer .
went today . service was slow even though not busy . and then at end of meal found a dead roach in my friends food . they comped my friends meal , but ew . won ' t be going back .
went there a few times years ago and it was very good , although there was too much family standing around which always annoys me . that is very unprofessional . but in the last few years i drive by and it always looked closed ! not a soul in the parking lot . i thought they went out of business ! guess they have odd hours that don ' t match mine .
at the recommendation of jim from one of the local museums , i went here for lunch during my day trip to danville . i didn ' t go until about two , so i missed the lunch crowd . our server was super nice and i loved that they serve breakfast all day . the place was clean , the food was very good , and it ' s fairly inexpensive . it ' s perfect if you are traveling through town and trying to stay on a budget .
got the vip omelette which includes steak / chicken and avocado ; one of the best omelette ' s i ' ve ever had . i ' ve been back twice now and this may be the only dish i ever order there . served with hash browns and choice of flapjacks / toast ( i go pancakes each time ) . had 5 cups of coffee . vip omelette is like $ 8 . 50 and others i did not care for 6 - 7 $ . if you like avocado in your breakfast , you need to try the vip ( get an extra side of something and this is more than enough food for a couple ) .
this place was horrible ! service was alright , food was disgusting , decor was ancient , and i did not feel like a
very important person !
i won ' t ever go back and i have no problem discouraging everyone i know from going into this place ! the coffee was see through , because it was so watered down and they put provolone in out
mexican skillet
and it tasted like glue . we did not finish our meal . plus it was expensive !
i came here for the first time today for their breakfast & ordered a belgian waffle & bacon . i really enjoyed my waffle ! the service was great , the server kept coming by to make sure we had enough coffee and was very attentive . i will definitely be going back here for breakfast !
claim this business to view business statistics , receive messages from prospective customers , and respond to reviews .
in 2013 , the scourge of entitled yelpers reached its peak when a man invented the “reviewercard” — a black credit card that allowed reviewers to have a “lifetime of upgrades” by scaring businesses into giving them good service . don’t want to wait for a table ? flash a reviewercard . feel like your server is ignoring you ? just carefully slide out your shiny black card that tells the world just how important you are .
service is especially en pointe with guests marked ‘aaa , ’ though an ‘aa’ guest is also of note .
like most restaurants , sanford has a system of tracking regular guests . unlike most , their reservation book is still done by hand , and distinguished guests are tracked using a system of files and notes on a bulletin board kept in the office . “if people do the tasting menu every time they come in , we want to keep track of what they’ve had in the past . ” aprahamian explains .
but in recent years , guest - tracking software has become a major industry . since opentable created a reservation system that could track guests’ information , visits , and cancellations , other companies have stepped in with software that can turn any computer into a professional maître d ' . the most well - known of these guest trackers is sevenrooms , which was founded in 2011 .
its receipt collection looks like “one of those murder detective maps of the city with pinpoints all over the wall . ”
morales notes that it’s an impressive vote of confidence that the gentleman “who will remain unnamed” didn’t worry that kachka’s staff would say something as simple as “welcome back” and blow his cover . “we rely on the information we collect about our regulars , ” he says , “ but it can all change with the flip of a coin . ”

after much deliberation , we have made the difficult decision to permanently close the community site airspace .
the digital landscape has changed considerably since we launched the site in 2007 , with the growth of social media tools such as facebook and twitter replacing forums as a way to communicate with like - minded people .
airspace is now closed but we would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the site over the years and has helped to make it such a valuable resource for people who love aviation .
