EAGLE OF THE WEEK

Chris LaRoca

Owner, Crushed Red

Culinary Innovator, Survivor, Thriver

From St. Louis to the world stage, Chris LaRoca's journey in the restaurant business is a compelling tale of innovation, tragedy, resilience, and triumph. A St. Louis native, Chris worked in the restaurant industry his entire life. For 13 years early in his career, he worked for a large company with 22 restaurants. In 1993, he decided to open his own restaurant concept - Crazy Fish - in Clayton. Known for his innovative ability, he continued to develop more concepts through the years, including Wrap Rage Eatery.

In 1994, Chris was approached by Bruegger's Bagels to convert, underperforming restaurants. This led to the creation of the Tomatillo Mexican Grill concept with multiple locations! The push was on for more, but Chris’ passion and focus was truly on Crazy Fish, leading to the sale of Tomatillo. With freed focus, he was able to partner with actor John Goodman for a second Crazy Fish location in Chesterfield. Ultimately, a bad real estate deal with the West County Mall in 2002 over the third Crazy Fish location led to bankruptcy and the closure of all locations.

Tony Roma’s owners approached Chris to quietly re-invigorate their dated concept in 2004. While he worked to ideate a new fast-casual concept, he was also the director of franchise operations for Roma’s taking across Canada, South America, the Eastern seaboard of the USA, Hawaii, Aruba, Trinidad, and more! Through all the traveling he spent tons of time researching, and the first Tony Roma’s Fast and Casual was opened in Wellington, FL – the first of its kind!  Shortly after the opening, the company was sold. The new owners didn’t love the idea of adding a new concept when original Tony Roma’s brand needed so much help, Chris opted to move on to other opportunities.

Tragedy struck Chris during his time with Tony Roma's when he found out his son was killed in a car wreck. His perspective instantly shifted. Going from losing a business, to declaring bankruptcy, to losing his son all in a period of six short months, he was determined to survive and hold his family together.

Rebounding from personal and professional setbacks, Chris embarked on a new adventure, founding Culinary Architects, a service for hotels, casinos, and developers looking to enter the restaurant business and flatten their learning curve. Culinary Architects still exists today!

In 2011, Chris got a call from his IP attorney requesting to help his son get into the restaurant business. After multiple new concept deals that fell through, he introduced the Chopped Fast Casual Pizza concept. This was the birth of Crushed Red!

Now with six locations, Crushed Red has been praised as "the next Panera," and Chris's innovation didn't stop there. He navigated the challenges of COVID, finding new ways to expand, including offering to-go salads in 38 Schnucks stores.

A survivor and thriver, Chris’ team knows his LaRoca-isms well:

• "If we don’t know how, we’ll figure it out!"
• "When you agree on a deadline with me look at your watch, not a calendar. "
• Emails from me arrive between 3:00AM and 4:00AM

Known for his thrill-seeking spirit, Chris and his daughter recently jumped off the Stratosphere in Las Vegas and he has set his sights on flying a fighter jet next.

Chris met Dr. Tom Hill by chance at his Overland Park location of Crushed Red. He described it as a warm meeting with a kind and interesting man – when he suddenly looked down to a stack of books in his hands! They became fast friends, so you know what came next – Tom challenged Chris to write a book. His daughter agreed, so that’s now on the docket!

Chris will be joining us at the 64th Eagle Summit symbolizing his commitment to going all in. His journey from Crazy Fish to Crushed Red, through personal tragedy and professional triumph, exemplifies the creativity, tenacity, and enduring spirit that make Chris LaRoca our "Eagle of the Week." His passion for business, concepts, restaurants, and helping people continues to inspire. His tale is not only a testament to culinary success but a lesson in life itself.

NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

TOM WILL BE 89!
IT'S TIME COME BACK TO THE EAGLE SUMMIT.
I GUARANTEE YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!

Let me just be real for a minute. COVID killed our beloved annual Summit. Houston was amazing several years ago, but then the world came to an abrupt halt and a lot of things changed. 

Tom will be 89 at this year's Summit. (Where the heck has the time gone?) Tom asked for my help to light a fire under this event and re-ignite the energy, the powerful learning, the growth, and the connection!  As Tom prepares to celebrate his 89th year on this Earth, it's time to resurrect the magic, the power, and the profound growth that the Eagle Summit embodies.

This Summit has become my MISSION and MY FOCUS - to bring you a world class event, one that won't be forgotten! We're in St. Louis again for Tom, but your experience here this year will be as memorable and enjoyable as they come.

Tom's vision, his wisdom, his dedication to growth - it's all here, waiting for you. St. Louis beckons, and the experience you'll have this year will resonate deep within you. This isn't just an event; it's a declaration of intent, a commitment to yourself and your journey.

REGISTER - you will not regret it. I personally guarantee that this Summit will leave you hungry for more, for greater, and for the extraordinary.

Catch you at the Summit!
