July 22, 2007

ATLANTA —Seth Salzman, a co-creator of Moe's Southwest Grill, has been promoted to senior vice president of Raving Brands, charged with the portfolio's three early-stage concepts —Boneheads Grilled Fish & Piri Piri Chicken, The Flying Biscuit Cafe and Monkey Joe's.

Salzman is charged with overseeing strategy, marketing and operations for the three developing concepts. Prior to Raving Brands, Salzman spent four years with Bertucci's Brick Oven Pizza as their regional training manager, and three years with Steak & Ale Restaurants as a corporate senior manager.

"We have tremendous potential with these three concepts, but each is at a developmental stage where they need strategic and operational leadership if they are to fulfill their potential," said Steve LaMastra, president and COO for Raving Brands.

Additionally, Brent McGhee has joined the Atlanta-based company as its director of franchise operations for The Flying Biscuit Cafe, Raving Brands first full-service restaurant.

McGhee joins the Biscuit with nearly 20 years of experience in the restaurant and hospitality industry. He will be responsible for growing the concept and liaising between Raving Brands and its network of franchise partners. McGhee spent the last 10 years with Hooters of America.
