Bring Your Own.... Boundaries

October 6, 2025 • 22 mins
In this episode, we are talking about BYO - bottles, cake, food, etc - and when it's cool.... and when it's not cool. Sure, we get it, Aunt Linda makes a killer cheesecake, and you want to share it, but at the end of the day, restaurants and caterers are still businesses. That seat you are sitting in keeps the lights on, pays the staff, and funds the next great meal you didn't have to make yourself. Join us as we unpack the fine li...

Alfresco Dining

August 25, 2025 • 26 mins

Nothing says "vacation mode" like eating outside - until the flies arrive and remind you they , too, came for the seafood special. In this episode, we dig into the joys and the buzzkills of open air dining at the beach, from the picture perfect sunsets to the less than perfect winged freeloaders who won't leave your fries alone.

Triple Sat Travels - Virginia Wine Country

July 14, 2025 • 39 mins
This week we packed our bags - and our wine glasses - and headed to Virginia Wine Country for a birthday getaway full of grapes, ghosts, and gorgeous views. From sipping local wines in the rolling hills to spending a couple of nights in a definitely haunted bed and breakfast (yes, there were noises... no it wasn't just the wine)., we embraced it all. We even squeezed in a visit to Shenandoah National Park and took a ride down Skyli...

Sh!t Happens

May 19, 2025 • 25 mins
You asked for the dirty details, well maybe not, but we delivered anyway - straight from the bowels of the hospitality industry. In this episode, we dive headfirst (ew) into the world of unexpected bowel movements: diners who didn't make it to the restroom, guests who confused the floor for a toilet, and one very unfortunate trail to the bathroom. It's gross. It's hilarious. It's human. And yes, it really happened. Grab some air fr...

The Art of the Pivot

May 5, 2025 • 26 mins
When the oven goes cold, the supplier flakes, or the universe just decides it's a "plot twist" kind of day, restaurant folks know it's time to pivot.

Triple Sat Travels - Savannah

March 24, 2025 • 41 mins
Southern charm and, maybe, a few questionable decisions. We took a trip to Savannah, and let's just say ..... the city's hospitality game is strong, but so were the cocktails. In this episode, we break down every sip, bite, and service encounter from our adventure.
