No Reservations Podcast

One of the best parts of working in the New York City restaurant industry is the occasional run-in with a celeb. Almost all of our bartender/server friends have a story about SOMEONE...so in this new series we will SPILL THE CELEBRITEA!! Our first CelebriTEA features stories from former guests Hannah Freeman, Matt Curiano, and of course, your favorite hosts :) Featured celebs for CelebriTEA part 1 are: Joaquin Phoenix, RuPaul, Lea Michele, Darren Criss and MORE! SPILL IT, KWEENS!

Welcome back to Part 2! If you haven't listened to Part 1 of our interview with Jacqueline Correa, stop what you're doing, go back, and listen to it. But if you have, lucky you, because this is about to get SERIOUS. Getting people fired. Dealing with actual fire. The corporate apartment, which was not literally on fire, technically, but was on fire with tension. Enjoy!

Welcome back, loyal listener! This episode, we had such a lovely conversation with Jacqueline Correa that we couldn't bear to cut it down, so we had to split it into two episodes! This week, we discuss the shame of mispronunciation, the difficulty of a language barrier and shameful one-star reviews of the fanciest restaurants in Manhattan. Make sure to come back next week (we promise we'll have another episode next week) when Jacqueline shares some of her best stories, and trust us, they are FIRE, literally, some of them are literally about fire anyway BYE!

After a month off because we are lunatics, we are happy to be back yelling into your ears with Chris Blem! We get serious and political with this one - the tip credit, shady under the table practices and which service industry term Chris HATES! We're happy to be back, thank you for sticking with us and we hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it!

The age-old phrase goes as such: "The customer is always right!" BUT ARE THEY? ARE THEY REALLY? Alyssa Magarian joins this week as we build a case against this myth. Plus, join us for a fast-food edition game of "Fuck, Marry or Kill."
