This podcast feels like a big hug! Erica & Dante have great chemistry and a wealth of experience between them. As a former member of the restaurant world, I’m experiencing major nostalgia with the stories shared. My partner (who has never polished a single glass in his life but watches the Bear) loves having an insight into this world. Thank you for sharing the FOH side of things!

Germany2 years ago - Great personalities and a glimpse into the front of the house.
We hear so much about the kitchen of every restaurant, but not enough of the front. Erica and Dante invite us to sit around their table while they reminisce about old places and give us the news about new spots. What a treat!
