Ep. 26: "In The Weeds" - ft. Almendra (Pez)

Jake and Kennedy are back with another episode, and this week they feature a Chicago server, friend, and longtime listener of this podcast - Almendra! To her friends, she goes by the nickname "Pez", and she is loved and admired by many of her coworkers for her optimism and kindness. She is the kind of server that rarely gets flustered by a guest, so when she does you know they have to be 10x worse than how she describes them. The episode begins with an introduction to Pez and her work experience. She started at Olive Garden, and took a 10 year break from the industry only to come back and work at some of the best restaurants in Chicago. The current events discussed today included a strike by Waffle House employees in North Carolina, and about the first ever lab-created chicken dish sold to guests in a California restaurant. The bulk of the episode is spent discussing what it's like working for large chains, how you can handle guests who want you to fail from the start, and how important it is to help your coworkers when you see them in the weeds. The episode closes out with an impromptu round of "Service industry things that would send a Victorian child into a coma".

Ep. 25: Burning Out & Back of House

Kennedy and Jake are back and they are officially 1/4th of the way to episode 100! Current events in the industry this week - Andy Cohen has been seen promoting his new canned cocktail partnership by "bartending" all over the Hamptons, Domino's is delivering pizzas via drone to beaches near you, and SweetGreen opened their first fully automated location.Jake introduces the story he selected for the week, and it's all about why industry workers have been feeling major burnout since restaurants reopened post-Covid. He mentions it all, including many reasons why industry workers aren't afraid to rage quit their jobs anymore.Kennedy's story of the week was inspired by the Kitchen Confidential subreddit. She discovered a thread titled "Inside the Walk-In Rant" and shares a few of her favorite stories - these range from annoyingly dramatic coworkers, aggressive managers, and customer's who ask for something every time you return to the table. She briefly covers the tension between chefs and servers, and a few of the many headaches that your BOH team deals with daily. They end the episode with another round of "Am I The A**hole?" but with a hilarious security/doorman twist.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
