## Resource

Today, the barbecue chicken pizza is a menu staple found in restaurants everywhere. But when California Pizza Kitchen introduced it four decades ago, it changed the way America thought about pizza and reshaped the restaurant industry. The "CPK" brand quickly became a household name with its modern, casual dining concept. What started as a single restaurant in Beverly Hills soon grew into a global footprint. The founders were prosecutors-turned-entrepreneurs who took a major risk with their revolutionary restaurant idea. Co-founder of California Pizza Kitchen, Rick Rosenfield, joins FBN’s Lydia Hu to pull back the curtain on the triumphs, shortcomings, and defining risks behind the beloved brand. Rosenfield also discusses his upcoming book, “The California Pizza Kitchen Story: How Two Federal Prosecutors Changed The Way America Eats Pizza.” Learn more about your ad choices.
