Making Raving Fans Hospitality Group Promotes Meg Daigle to Vice President as Company Continues...
BATON ROUGE, La. - October 21, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Making Raving Fans Hospitality Group, the parent company of Baton Rouge restaurants Jubans Restaurant, SoLou, Portobello's Grill, and P-Beau's, promoted Meg Daigle to be the company's new Vice President of Operations. Daigle's promotion will provide owners Peter Sclafani, Kiva Guidroz, and Michael Boudreaux more time to focus on more business development, including establishing new restaurant concepts and expanding current Making Raving Fans concepts.
Daigle started her career with Portobello's Grill, one of the Making Raving Fans restaurant concepts, 26 years ago as a college student when she worked as a server before the restaurant relocated away from its Lee Dr. location in Baton Rouge. After graduating from LSU, Daigle moved on to New Orleans as Director of Operations for Raising Cane's in the early 2000s as the chain was first beginning its rapid expansion. She then went on to hone her full-service skills as part of the team that relaunched Commander's Palace in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
Daigle returned to Making Raving Fans in Baton Rouge in late 2021, rejoining as Director of People, Culture, and Training, and has since proven herself as a leader within the company. Under Daigle's leadership, Making Raving Fans has consistently hired top-tier talent even as the hospitality industry faces continued hiring challenges, and she has headed up several initiatives to improve training and company culture.
"During my time in New Orleans, I learned a lot about how to run restaurants efficiently and how to scale operations, and a lot of those skills translate to the type of business model that Making Raving Fans operates under," said Daigle. "When I saw an opportunity to come back home to Baton Rouge and work with the Making Raving Fans team and help them continue their growth, I didn't hesitate to reach out."
Daigle's recent promotion to Vice President of Operations will allow her to continue to impact the company's culture while leading the Director of Operations, Director of Culinary, and 41 store-level managers.
"Meg has been phenomenal in leading operations and ensuring that our customers have the best dining experience at all of our restaurants," said Peter Sclafani, co-owner of Making Raving Fans Hospitality Group. "With her as our first-ever Vice President, Kiva, Michael and I will have more time to focus on continuing to grow our business with the confidence that Meg is able to uphold the current operations. We're looking forward to expanding the SoLou brand along the I-10 corridor and exploring new concepts as well."
Making Raving Fans Hospitality was created in 2020 but was initially comprised of restaurants that have been serving high-quality food and drink in the Baton Rouge area for many years. The hospitality group was formed when Chef Peter Sclafani and Kiva Guidroz came together as partners, bringing their decades of experience under one name. Michael Boudreaux later joined the group in 2021, and the team has since added new establishments to its growing portfolio of restaurants. Together, the team continues to push the envelope of Baton Rouge's culinary culture.

In Wake of COVID Shot Being Added to CDC’s Childhood Immunization Schedule, We The...
ATLANTA - October 20, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
The following is an open letter from We The Patriots USA, Inc.:
Just hours ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to add the COVID-19 shot to the CDC's childhood immunization schedule. According to We The Patriots USA Vice-President and Co-founder Attorney Brian Festa, the implications of this are staggering. "The shot will now be shielded from civil tort liability under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, which eliminated recovery through the courts and established the so-called 'vaccine court', allowing only limited recovery under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program," Festa explained. "This means that you cannot file a product liability lawsuit against a vaccine manufacturer if your child suffers injury or death from a shot."
Festa added that another consequence of today's vote is that this shot is likely to be added to the list of "immunizations" required for school attendance in many states. Many state legislatures have adopted the practice of mandating that students in school receive every vaccine on the CDC's childhood schedule. This especially affects states like California, New York, Maine, Connecticut, Mississippi, and West Virginia, where no personal belief or religious exemption to school vaccination mandates exists.
SO WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT?
1. SIGN THE PETITION TO MAKE DISCRIMINATION BASED ON VACCINATION STATUS ILLEGAL, AND ASK EVERYONE TO DO THE SAME.
If We The Patriots USA's petition to Congress is successful in its end goal of amending the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to make vaccination status discrimination illegal, no school would ever be able to deny a child an education simply because that child has not received one or more shots. No employer would ever be able to fire someone for refusing a shot. No airline, restaurant, hospital, or any other business could refuse service to someone because they did not receive a shot. Please sign the petition today.
2. DONATE TO WE THE PATRIOTS USA SO THEY CAN EXPAND THEIR LEGAL EFFORTS AND FIGHT BACK IN COURT
As noted above, it's nearly inevitable that some states will pass legislation to add this shot to the list of shots required for school attendance. This is likely to include not just students in Grades K-12, but college and university students as well. We The Patriots USA will need to file legal challenges in response to any such legislation. While the CDC maintains that the COVID shots are safe and effective, data has recently emerged showing evidence of adverse effects in young people especially, such as myocarditis. Please consider a donation in support of We The Patriots USA today, so they are ready to fight back at a moment's notice. Litigation is slow business, so they want to be able to file lawsuits immediately after these laws are passed.

Ambergris Cay, a private island located in the Turks & Caicos Islands, features 1,100 acres of largely untouched, natural landscapes and ocean views as far as the eye can see. The island itself has one of only two International Airports in Turks & Caicos and has an airstrip long enough to land a Gulfstream 450. With 7 beautiful, all-inclusive villas for rent, ranging from 3 to 6 bedrooms, guests have many different choices to suit every style.
Ambergris Cay can be reached both by commercial flights (with a short 20-minute flight from Providenciales on one of the island's private planes) and by private jet. Since the island offers an international airport, private jet guests can land on Ambergris Cay, clear customs and immigration and be sitting on their villa deck sipping cocktails within minutes.
The all-inclusive aspect of renting the villa makes the vacation stress-free and ensures more time is spent with family and friends and less time is spent on planning and preparing meals or organizing activities. Complimentary activities include a boat trip to Little Ambergris Cay to enjoy the floating Tiki Bar, bone fishing from the shore, hiking trails, bike riding around the island, and exploring in a golf cart. A nature-lovers paradise, Ambergris Cay is home to exotic flora and fauna, adding bird watching, nature walks, and stargazing to the list of experiences on offer. The inclusions at Ambergris Cay include a la carte meals with daily menus, snacks throughout the day, and premium beverages.
The villas at Ambergris Cay all afford stunning ocean views and come with an island host and golf cart for exploring the island. The luxurious 6-bedroom villa, Dream Pavilion, includes the dedicated services of a private chef and butler and offers two swimming pools and a private beach. Chef services may be booked separately for all other villas, and all guests may enjoy meals in the island's restaurants. Every detail for a villa stay has been attended to at Ambergris Cay. The experience is bespoke, tailored and ever evolving; that is the Ambergris Cay difference.
