FOOD FOR THOUGHT By William Gagnon, Vice President of Marketing, Excel Dryer Modeled after McSorley's Old Ale House in New York City, Pub Dog Pizza & Drafthouse serves gourmet pizza and 12 hand-crafted beers in a casual and friendly atmosphere. While patrons enjoy the casual dining experience – the casual performance of outdated restroom hand dryers left much to be desired. "The old hand dryers were awful," admitted Drew Walston, Director of Operations at Pub Dog. "People weren't able to dry off their hands and there was water buildup on the floor…. It was cer- tainly a hygiene and safety issue." Locals regularly grabbed napkins from wait stations after using the facili- ties, but a Pub Dog regular had another solution in mind. That regular was a local reporter who wrote about the "wimpy hand dryer," in a blog post published in the Baltimore Sun. In a satirical, yet hon- est article, he urged Pub Dog manage- ment to install high-speed, energy-effi- cient XLERATOR ® hand dryers. The XLERATOR, he explained, was installed at "nearly every other bar" in the area, but not Pub Dog. Manufactured by Excel Dryer, the patented, high-speed, energy-efficient XLERATOR hand dryer technology dries hands completely three times faster (in 10-15 seconds) (dry time based on third party testing performed by SGS International on standard XLERATOR hand dryer with 0.8 nozzle to less than 0.2g of residual moisture) and uses 80 percent less energy than conventional hand dryers. XLERATOR hand dryers represent a 95 percent cost savings versus paper towels and eliminate their labor, maintenance and waste. The touch-free, automatic sensor activation and an optional HEPA Filtration System create a more hygienic restroom environment, which is partic- ularly important for restau- rant settings that require superior hygienic standards. In addition, the XLERATOR hand dryer is GreenSpec ® Listed, endorsed by the Green Restaurant Association, and helps facilities qualify for several LEED ® v4 Credits and Green Globes to achieve corporate or govern- ment sustainability goals. "They were a huge hit with our staff and patrons," said Walston. "We have a capacity of about 130 people in our downtown Baltimore location and 250 people in Columbia, and we certainly reach capacity on the weekends." The XLERATOR hand dryer models are available with the industry's most options and complete line of accessories, including a HEPA Filtration System, 1.1" Noise Reduction Nozzle, Speed and Sound Control, an ADA- compliant recess kit, XChanger ® paper towel retrofit kit, customized cover options and more. "In addition to the custom covers with the Pub Dog logo, we have the noise reduction noz- zles installed on all our hand dryers," said Walston. "Our building in Baltimore is a 100-year old row house and the sound was too abrasive for people trying to enjoy a meal in that building. Installing the noise reduction nozzles sig- nificantly reduced the sound of the dryers to the benefit of all of our patrons." For more information about the XLERATOR hand dryer, visit exceldryer.com.

WHY AMOROSO'S WILL BE YOUR BREAD AND BUTTER The quality of the bread you offer cus- tomers says a lot about the quality of your restaurant, sandwich shop, super- market or foodservice operation. That's why Amoroso's Hearth-Baked Bread and Rolls will help attract new customers and enhance the reputation of your business. For more than 110 years, beginning in 1904 in Philadelphia, Amoroso's Baking Company and its authentic Italian Hearth-Baked Bread and Rolls have been the stuff legendary Philly cheese steaks, hoagies, roast beef and roast pork sand- wiches are made of. In the past 40 years, that reputation has spread across the country and around the world. Amoroso's is "Why Philly sand- wiches are world-famous."™ The family-owned and operated company has grown over the years through five major bakery expansions. The addition of frozen operations, a par- baked program and a food service divi- sion has enabled customers in 50 states, as well as Bermuda, Canada, the Dominican Republic, Guam, the Philippines and Puerto Rico, to enjoy Amoroso's products. Through all of the growth, the com- pany still relies on its closely-guarded family recipe. Using only the finest ingredients, Amoroso's Hearth-Baked Bread and Rolls are baked from scratch 24 hours a day, seven days a week and delivered fresh every day in the greater Philadelphia area. They are also flash-frozen for imme- diate shipping. The result is a superior product with a light, crisp crunch on the outside and a soft, yet firm bite on the inside. Amoroso's state-of-the-art frozen facilities, "Thaw & Serve" and "Par- Baked" programs now bring the classic Philly sandwich roll to venues anywhere in the United States or around the world. The quality of Amoroso's frozen prod- ucts is so high that Philadelphia expatri- ates always recognize that unique Amoroso's taste. With the resources and capacity to service both small and large busi- nesses, supply fresh or frozen bread and rolls – even design custom prod- ucts tailored to specific company needs – Amoroso's is the local Philly bakery that's an international resource.
