    The Chef’s Table pt.2-A Manuscript takeover

    I recently had the pleasure of having the owner Eda & some of the core members of the Manuscript restaurant team on the podcast. And with the help of my good friend Chef Lewis of Radnor’s Burgers, some Philly cheesesteaks from Legendz & 100 proof tequila from my guests, this episode quickly became an instant classic. Another huge thanks to Eastside Bill for capturing the moment as well and a huge thanks to DJ QJ of Post Office Studios for opening the space for me once again. As some of you may already know, Manuscript has ditched the old school style a kitchen has been known to be ran and has instead, installed a new, conventional, teamwork style that has all chefs seeing eye to eye. From new recipe items on the food menu to new drinks on the cocktail menu, this spot works as a team and consult with each other on everything. You feel it the moment you walk in. And it shows in the food. The way it looks and especially the way it tastes. Same with the drinks. Everything done with care. S/O Eda! They did that and are doing it still. If you haven’t been in yet, this is your calling. They also boast one of the best brunches in town-fully intact with local dj’s DJ Semaj & DJ Hanibal who keep the vibe rolling every weekend. Stop in for happy hour to check the place out or book your holiday event with them, you won’t be let down. Last but not least, thank you for tuning in, LIKEITORNOT🎙️🏆 Support the show Thanks for listening to the latest episode of LIKEITORNOT🎙️🏆

    The Fans of Horror episode ft. Anthony Dluzak

    LIKEITORNOT is back with an episode that will have you wanting to listen to it in the dark. Or atleast with a group of scary movie enthusiasts and fans of Halloween because I had the pleasure of having horror film aficionado and true Halloween fan Anthony Dluzak on the podcast this past week. And between him and I and Chef Lewis of Radnor’s stories (who guest hosted with me) we may just scare the shit outta ya. We recite scary movie lines too and shared our favorite scary movies of course and why, we brought old trick or treating stories up and so much more off the wall stories, you’ll just have to tune in to see what I mean. Never edited, just classic, spooky Halloween banter between a group of dudes having cold beverages and getting animated as f**k about how Classic those 80’s horror films were and how we were just so lucky to have such authentic scary movies being filmed in the 80’s. We give up our favorite directors of that genre too. I truly learned a lot from Anthony about horror films in general, again, you just gotta listen! I take the cast off track a few times but that’s LIKEITORNOT’s style, we always get back on track eventually! Anthony speaks on  "Friday Night Frights" which is his monthly screening party at the Blue Mouse Theater in the beautiful Proctor district, a tradition that’s been happening for 11 years now! He also tells us all about the Halloween Parade/Street Festival that’s coming up in Proctor a week and half before Halloween. (Which lands on a Friday this year folks!) We talk about costumes we’d worn throughout our Halloween careers and so much more. We could’ve made this a 4 hour episode easy. Hope you all enjoy this one. Appreciate all of you out there supporting and checking out the podcast as well. Also a huge thanks to Anthony & Chef Lew for sharing their time. I also want to extend a huge thanks to Pizza Time Pizza & Pub for hosting me and the crew these last few episodes, your hospitality is appreciated. Hope this episode brings you a few laughs and scares your socks off, LIKEITORNOT🎙️🏆🎃 Support the show Thanks for listening to the latest episode of LIKEITORNOT🎙️🏆

    Hilltop Legends-The Rachi Wortham episode ft. Chris Crayzie

    LIKEITORNOT is back with an episode you gotta hear. Once you press play you won’t be able to stop it til the end. Hilltop Tacoma legend Rachi Wortham rejoins the podcast & Hilltop Tacoma legend Chris Crayzie co-hosts with me, as we record from inside Pizza Time Pub on Sixth Ave. So many memories evoked, so many stories told, from hooping to the hood and bringing state titles back to Tacoma, this episode is on fire, literally. Stories of triumph and stories of tragedy, you’ll laugh and you might even cry. Rachi gives his top Washington State high basketball starting 5 of ALL TIME & you gotta hear it. Hyp brings up the 2000 Foss team and declares it a cheat squad because they were so good, so selfless, so together and ended up beating Garfield in the semi-finals, who had Brandon & Ed Roy on there squad back then. We touch on so many topics, Chris Crazyzie speaks on his show "Trash Talk" which premiers at Nate Jackson’s Super Funny Comedy Club 7/16 and we speak on Nate’s Netflix premiere as well. Rachi & Nate roomed at Eastern Washington University back in the day & shares behind the scenes stories you can only hear from him and on this episode of LIKEITORNOT. Hyp even tells a story about how back in the late 80’s, he, his brothers and friends would "play" Crips & Bloods, instead of Cops & Robbers, not the best move in the 80’s on or near the Hilltop. Gotta tune in sports fans! Appreciate these gentleman sitting down with me & appreciate you all for listening & supporting. Background beats and all music from Truss One. Love y’all!  Support the show Thanks for listening to the latest episode of LIKEITORNOT🎙️🏆
