Homestyle Dining LLC has announced that Jill Gouge-Laird has joined the company as vice president of Marketing.

Gouge-Laird comes to Homestyle Dining after nearly 14 years with Buffet Partners LP, owners and operators of Furr's Fresh Buffets, where she most recently served as director of Marketing.

Gouge-Laird was tapped by Homestyle Dining's CEO Tom Sacco to lead all branding, marketing, advertising and communications programs for the company's three restaurant brands: Ponderosa Steakhouse, Bonanza Steak & BBQ and new fast casual concept Bo's Steak & Grill.

"In a sense, Jill has come home again, since early in her career she managed our business at our advertising firm," Sacco said in a news release. "Her stellar work then, and during the past 14 years on the restaurant side, makes her uniquely qualified to guide our marketing efforts as we launch and refresh our three steakhouse concepts."
