Pinkberry, the premium frozen yogurt seller based in Los Angeles, will open its Orlando store August 20 at the Marketplace at Dr. Phillips. In advance of the opening, Pinkberry is holding a job fair Wednesday, Aug. 4, for enthusiastic “swirlers.” The company will hold group “auditions” in which job hopefuls will perform various tasks and “problem solve in a fun format,” according to a press release. Erica Lee will serve as guest judge. (I think all job interviews should have a guest judge, don’t you?)

The job fair/audition/cattle call will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the second floor of the Bank of America at 7862 Dr. Phillips Blvd., Orlando, directly in front of the new Pinkberry location. The positions pay $7.50/hour and include standard benefits. Successful candidates will start training Aug. 10 in advance of the Aug. 20 opening. (Is 10 days enough time to learn the proper swirl?)

For more information contact Pinkberry of Florida general manager Ryan Adleman, 815-222-5496.

Orlando-based E-Brands Restaurants, which owns Timpano and Samba Room on Restaurant Row and the newer Paradiso 37 at DownTown Disney, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company is controlled by Rashid Choufani, who opened Restaurant Marrakesh in the Morocco pavilion at Disney's Epcot theme park. E-Brands also operates Aquaknox restaurants in Tampa and Las Vegas. Chapter 11 allows for reorganization under the bankruptcy laws of the United States. The Sand Lake restaurants are expected to remain open during the reorganization.

If it's 5 p.m., that means Bananas Diner, the latest concept from the Funky Monkey crew, has officially opened for business. Following a week or so of practice meals, the "modern American diner" opens to the public August 2.

Just two doors up from the original Monkey at 924 N. Mills Avenue, Bananas will serve basic diner fare with a few twists, such as burgers done 18 ways (not all at once on the same plate, mind you) and eggs Benedict done six ways. As you would expect from these guys, the decor is kind of funky. (Check out the padded leather black-and-red checkerboard ceiling.)

Hours will be: Monday through Wednesday, 6 a.m. to 12 a.m.; Opening Thursday at 6 a.m. and staying open until Sunday at 11 p.m. For more information, visit the Web site at bananasdiner.com. Call the restaurant at 407-480-2200.
