I worked in bars and restaurants in Chicago and experienced the hole in the wall bars to the fine dining in historical restaurants. Love talking about this industry bc I’m a better human for the experience and really enjoyed this podcast.

This is funny and irreverent glimpse behind the curtain of the restaurant world. These guys have clearly spent years analyzing guests and perfecting the nuanced and fluid service needed to execute service. Good for restaurant vets looking to vent, newbies looking to learn, or even just a guest looking for humorous insight into this crazy world.
