On this week's episode, we cover the deadline for IAAPA's Brass Ring Award submissions for the top FEC and LBE of the year award, a court decision that rattles waivers for minors, and why brand clarity matters more than ever for LBEs and FECs. We also call out a launch-day website miss, spotlight a smart bakery + mini golf combo, and analyze new openings from Timezone, Andretti, and more.
