  • Red Lobster CEO Kim Lopdrup Named Chairman of the Board for Kalera
    Red Lobster CEO Kim Lopdrup Named Chairman of the Board for Kalera Kim Lopdrup provides industry expertise as Kalera prepares for international expansion and US listing of its shares ORLANDO, Fla., May 12, 2021 — Kalera (Euronext Growth Oslo ticker KAL, Bloomberg: KSLLF), one of the fastest-growing and largest vertical farming companies in the world and a leader in plant sci- ence for producing high-quality produce in controlled environments, today announced that Kim Lop- drup is appointed as new Chairman of Kalera as the company moves towards a US listing. Kim joined Kalera’s Board last year and remains CEO of Red Lobster. This announcement comes on the heels of the news of Kalera’s appointment of Sonny Perdue, former US Secretary of Agriculture, and Maria Sastre to the Board of Directors. Current Chairman, Bjorge Gretland, will continue as a board member in the company. Bjorge became Chairman of the company in 2013 when the company only had a handful of employees. Now, the company has become one of the fastest-growing and largest vertical farming companies in the world with truly pan-US coverage. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Kim, a proven titan in the food and restaurant industry, become Chairman of our Board,” said Bjorge Gretland, current Kalera Chairman. “His knowledge and expertise span from securing the highest quality, traceable and sustainable seafood for his vast network of res- taurants to leading companies through global expansion. These are skills that are invaluable to Kalera at this time. As Kalera moves towards a US listing of its stock, Kim is extremely well suited to take on the Chairman role.” Kim Lopdrup has been the Chief Executive Officer of Red Lobster, the world’s largest seafood restau- rant company, since 2014.

  • Smokey Bones BBQ Sports Bar Was Smokin' at First-Ever Barbecue Competition
    Smokey Bones BBQ Sports Bar Was Smokin' at First-Ever Barbecue Competition Smokey Bones BBQ Sports Bar Was Smokin' at First-Ever Barbecue Competition ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 11 -- It may have been their first major barbecue competition, but Smokey Bones BBQ Sports Bar- Orlando, Fla.-based Darden Restaurant's latest test restaurant -- put together a team of experts who showed 14 other top- notch barbecuers they have what it takes to compete against some of the nation's best. Smokey Bones' Executive Chef John Radcliff, Sous Chef Eric Ebersbach, and fellow team members Jennifer Manette, Preston Moore, and Brian Walker traveled from Orlando to Tallahassee, Fla., to compete in the "Big Bend Pig Fest and Feast" on Friday, Sept. 1 and Saturday, Sept. 2. The team placed first in "hot chicken wings," second in "pork ribs" and fifth in "pork shoulder." In the barbecue world, serious competitors get together to compare notes, test recipes, and tempt the judges' palates several times a year in competitions like "Big Bend" that are "sanctioned" by the granddaddy of all barbecue competitions -- the "Memphis in May" World Championships. During these events, taste talks and winners go on to compete in the biggest event of the year in Memphis, Tenn. Because of their strong showing in Tallahassee, Smokey Bones secured a spot in the world championships where they'll go up against 300 national-level teams, most of whom compete all year. Radcliff said his team is up for the Memphis challenge and ready to show what they can do. "With all of the top teams that showed up this year, we were happy to hold our own," he said.
