Burgers & Bombers


We have created a new company to manage food and beverage services at the DBAP. Bull City Hospitality, a subsidiary of Capitol Broadcasting Co., will run the concessions operation within the ballpark. (Read more about it.)

For the past year we have been working with an industry consultant, Chapel Hill-based Jim Wulforst. It wasn't until last month that I realized what a global perspective he brings to our project.

Jim left us for the entire month of February to visit Air Force bases on behalf of the Society for Hospitality and Foodservice Management. It's called the Hennessy/Military Traveler ProgramJim's a former president of the trade group, and this is his second Hennessy tour.

That's Jim on the far right, handing out
