Steve Latzanakis, owner of the Dunkin' Donuts franchise, has been hoping for a right of first refusal--which would give him first crack at any lease--from IDM. But currently he has only been able to secure an agreement which would give him at least a 30 day notice before being forced to leave during the renovation period...
Indeed, even Buchanan's legendary oratorical skills (admittedly superior to that of his questioners) could not completely hide his dark side at the ARCO Forum on Thursday.

Sales of Oaxacan agave to Jalisco have roughly doubled in the past year. Mexican regulators are trying to crack down on the rogue suppliers and buyers and have closed at least one distillery. The smuggling also threatens production of tequila's less tony cousin, mescal, made with unauthorized agave species or Weber blue grown outside the designated zone, by driving up Oaxacan agave prices...
