The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

If you watch reality TV shows like The Apprentice, you get a pretty skewed picture of how to succeed as an entrepreneur. But, some shows do get it. Foodies with an entrepreneurial bent should take a look at Recipe for Success, a new Food Network show that profiles entrepreneurs who work in and around the food business. Recent shows have profiled Kelly Flatley and Brendan Synnott, the twenty-something founders of Bear Naked Granola, and Robert Friedman, who left his media business to start the Red Hot and Blue barbecue restaurants. The shows offer an informative, entertaining, and realistic look at what it takes to succeed in the food business.
