On Tuesday, Southern California vegan restaurant chain Native Foods Café named Ron Biskin, former president of Wolfgang Puck, as its new president and chief operating officer. Biskin has worked in the restaurant industry for 25 years, helping manage mainstream brands ranging from Wolfgang Puck to Burger King, and with his years of experience he hopes to expand Native Foods Café to cities across the country. Before accepting his new role as president, Biskin served as a Native Foods board member since early 2009. Native Foods Café founder Tanya Petrovna opened the first location in 1994 and now operates five other locations across Southern California.
