“YOUR UNCONVENTIONAL PODCAST, NAVIGATING THE BACK ALLEYS OF HOSPITALITY.”

We're not here to romanticize the grind. We're pulling back the curtain on the real deal, the messy, chaotic, exhilarating world of hospitality—from the floor to the cellar and the vineyards.

Beyond the perfectly plated dishes and attentive staff, this is an invitation to those who crave more than just the polished surface. We're talking long nights, demanding customers, spilled drinks, unpredictable harvests, and the neverending quest for the perfect vintage.

We're talking about the moments that make you question your sanity and the moments that remind you why you love the culture behind food and beverage so much. Welcome!
