Food & bev is really specific, but you will find a lot of boutiques with a more general consumer focus. Let me know if you need a capIQ screen.

Trinity Capital in LA does a lot of business in the fast food industry... so much so that I think they pretty much dominate dealflow from that sector. They're a boutique; I talked to an analyst there and he was a really good guy.
