Sandy Beall eats dinner out five times a week and regularly laments the choices he sees on the menus--unless, that is, he's eating at a Ruby Tuesday, the restaurant chain he founded in 1972 and still runs.

Katy Dearing, 19, a student at the California Culinary Academy who applied after a CCA chef visiting her high school prepared an inspiring gnocchi with roasted bell-pepper coulis, says she plans to be a private chef for busy professionals who want to eat nutritious meals...
...become one of the execs responsible for McDonald's turnaround. She was running 7,500 restaurants in Asia and the Middle East when she was tapped for chief restaurant operations officer, covering everything from equipment to real estate worldwide.
