Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty
Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 051826
Original Broadcast Date: 05/18/26

Opening a restaurant is hard. Keeping one open is harder. And some of the most high-profile restaurant failures in American history had nothing to do with the food. Elizabeth counts down ten restaurant failures — names you'll recognize, concepts that seemed bulletproof — and the actual reasons they collapsed. Bad locations. Ownership ego. Concept drift. Debt structures that never made sense. Celebrities who thought fame was a business plan. The restaurant industry has a failure rate that should terrify anyone thinking about entering it, and the reasons are almost always the same ones nobody talked about while the place was still open. This list is a masterclass in what not to do — told through the wreckage of places that didn't survive long enough to learn the lesson themselves.

FOOD TRAVEL USA FAST FACTS

About the Show

Using the chassis of a food and travel show, Elizabeth Dougherty has carved out her own lane in Talk Radio, covering the contamination of the food supply and the travel restrictions placed upon us by an overreaching government. The show also covers data protection, self-sufficiency, and homesteading-related topics to help protect us from this evil, corrupt system. With Elizabeth as the host, the show has a very different sound from the typical male-oriented talk radio. In combination with terrestrial stations that carry the show, we reach people who don't normally listen to politically-driven talk radio. In addition to the LIVE FEED of the show on Saturday afternoons from 5pm–7pm (Eastern) / 2pm–4pm (Pacific), we produce and distribute a dozen podcast segments each week.
