Episode Summary
Fast Casual Nation hosts Paul Barron and Cherryh Cansler interview Buena Papa founders James and Joanna Windon about their innovative loaded fries concept. The Colombian-inspired brand serves premium hand-cut fries topped with global flavors like their signature Mexicano. From humble beginnings in a Raleigh food hall to a $400,000 Shark Tank deal with Robert Herjavec, Buena Papa has overcome challenges like teaching customers fries can be a full meal. Their Chipotle-style service model, distinctive packaging, and freshly-prepared potatoes have helped them build a universal appeal that's now expanding through franchising.FastCasualNation #LoadedFries #RestaurantInnovationGet Your Podcast Now!
