sLocal Pork - Out to Lunch - It's Baton Rouge

Behind every successful business is a great idea, but just having a
great idea doesn t necessarily guarantee success. What are the keys
to going from concept to successful operation And what are some of
the pitfalls Stephanie Riegel s guests on this edition of Out to
Lunch have interesting perspectives on this topic. Trey Williams is
the co owner of City Pork Hospitality, a family of Baton Rouge
restaurants that has taken off in just three years and now includes
City Pork Deli and Charcuterie; City Pork Brasserie and Bar and
City Pork Kitchen and Pie. The company also has a catering
business, and is getting ready to open a poke restaurant in the
Southdowns Shopping Center. If you;re wondering exactly what "poke"
is, Trey explains it is not a part of a pig, it s a Pacific Ocean
fish from Hawaii. J.P. Kelly is one of the founding partners of a
new Baton Rouge app that raises money for schools while providing
users with discounts at a variety of commercial establishments. The
app is called sLocal as in, "it s Local." Its sort of like a real
time Groupon that focuses on local businesses and, here s the real
kicker, gives back 25 of revenues generated from app sales to the
school of the user s choice. It s win win win and it s poised to
take off around the country. Photos at Mansurs on the Boulevard by
