Food businesses are super hot! The popularity of reality TV's "Top Chef", "Bar Rescue", "Eat,Drink,Love", "Iron Chef" and many other food-based programming concepts has created a booming interest in the food industry. Food trucks are becoming a mainstay in communities across the U.S. Bartenders are now "mixologists" and cakes are as much of a star at any wedding as the bride and groom. Food is hot! Consider starting one of the many food businesses mentioned in this feature. There are more than 980,000 restaurants in the United States and the figure grows every year, according to the National Restaurant Association. The US bar and nightclub industry includes about 45,000 establishments (single-location companies and branches of multi-location companies) with combined annual revenue of about $20 billion. No major companies dominate; varying state liquor laws complicate the ability to form large chains. The industry is highly fragmented: the 50 largest companies account for about 5 percent of revenue. Meridian Woman Opens School Lunch Franchise Originally Published 1/16/14 by Statesman Staff Idaho Statesman Valerie Ellis, 54, of Meridian, opened a Wholesome Tummies franchise Jan. 13.

4 Wholesome Tummies is an Orlando, Fla., company that contracts with schools to deliver lunches each day. Ellis said she is working with Calvary Christian School in Boise and is seeking contracts with other local schools. "There are a lot of gluten-free children in the area," Ellis said in a news release. "And I want to expand the menu to accommodate them. A school lunch program isn't easy, especially with picky eaters like my children. It's important to get them involved in the process and expose them to new food options. I asked my kids to test my new cookie recipe and without even knowing it they picked the gluten-free cookies over the original recipe." The company contracts with schools to deliver meals prepared each day in a local commercial kitchen or on-site if the school has its own kitchen. Its program consists of three parts: access to fresh foods through lunch, catering and vending programs; education about real food; and activities like fundraisers and a scholarship program.
