ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES WITH BARLEAN'S NEW BUTTER FLAVORED COCONUT OIL Barlean's new dairy-free Butter Flavored Organic Coconut Oil offers all the bene- fits of organic coconut oil, along with the rich taste of real butter – a recipe for end- less culinary possibilities. Delicious on toast and muffins or melted over popcorn, baked potatoes or cooked vegetables, it's hard to believe that a healthy, vegan, non-hydrogenated oil can taste so incredibly good. It's an ideal 1:1 substitute for butter in all of your baking recipes. With its high smoke point, it's also perfect for cooking and frying under 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Plus, the all- natural butter flavor comes from botani- cal extracts only, so you can rest assured there are no artificial flavors or colors – just pure buttery goodness for your whole family. Coconut oil is known as a healthy fat because it contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are associated with healthy heart and brain function, weight management and more. But not everyone wants to add the taste of coconuts to everything. Enter Barlean's Butter Flavored Coconut Oil. As versatile as it is delicious, here are a few creative ways to use Barlean's Butter Flavored Coconut Oil: wrap with corn on the cob in tin foil and put on the grill; sauté with fresh spinach and garlic; rub on chicken along with seasonings before roasting; scramble with eggs and vegan sausage or bacon; and fry with bananas, cinnamon and your favorite sweetener. Equally happy warm or cool, Barlean's Butter Flavored Coconut Oil doesn't require refrigeration. It will start to melt at around 76 degrees Fahrenheit, so keep it refriger- ated for a solid consistency, or leave it out for a soft or liquid consistency.

TIME IS MONEY AT THE OGDEN, CHICAGO'S FAVORITE SPORTS BAR The Ogden sports bar, named Chicago's Best Game Day Spot, is located just two blocks from The United Center, the largest arena in the United States and home to the Chicago Blackhawks and Chicago Bulls. Its menu is filled with made-from-scratch versions of classic bar favorites, as well as a few new cre- ations, such as Animal Fries topped with pulled pork, fresh cheese curds and a sunny side up egg. As many as 3,000 avid sports fans are served at The Ogden on a busy game week. The entire dining and bar areas practically burst at the seams before games with the rowdy, happy crowd, so serving great food and drinks very fast and efficiently is essential. "When people come into The Ogden, they often have a ticket for a game in their pocket – it could have cost them $200 or more. We want to make sure they are on time for their event. If they are three minutes late, they could miss the only goal scored in that game," says Joe Magoonaugh, one of The Ogden partners. "So every minute counts in keeping our customers happy and com- ing back." When the server crashed on his point-of-sale system and was going to cost him $8,000 to replace, Magoonaugh decided it was time to look for a new sys- tem that would do more to help him improve serving time and efficiency. After a year researching, Magoonaugh chose TouchBistro as the iPad POS that offered the features he needed, especially tableside ordering. "When there are 250 people in house, it is diffi- cult for a server to walk through the restaurant. The servers don't have time to run back and forth to the bar and kitchen," Magoonaugh explains. "With tableside ordering, servers can go out and take three or four drink or food orders, make one clean sweep on all the tables, and send the orders to the bar or kitchen as they take them. When they get to bar, the drinks are ready to pick up." Efficiency and timing are very important, Magoonaugh says. "Gaining an extra minute on the drink order, on the food order, on closing the table out – three or four minutes in the course of a meal can equate to an extra turn on that table." The Ogden also implemented the TouchBistro kitchen display system with additional mon- itors, so orders sent electron- ically to the kitchen don't have to be printed or manu- ally distributed. As soon as the system pings, the fry, grill, sauté, salad and prep cooks can all get to work simultaneously on their por- tion of an order. Magoonaugh claims the system saves the kitchen two to three minutes per ticket. "If we can save 30 seconds on a drink order, 30 seconds on picking up the drink, on sending the food, on delivering the food and on paying the bill – every 30 seconds we save is 30 seconds someone can be consuming an extra beer or appe- tizer which leads to a higher check aver- age," Magoonaugh says. And that, folks, is better than a shorthanded goal. Learn more at www.touchbistro.com.
