S4 Ep 40: Opening/running restaurants as a couple with Natalie Johnson & Nick Anderer

Nick and Nat, married couple owners of Anton's and Leon's in NYC are in the studio! We get deep into who wins when FOH and BOH have disagreements, the double edged sword of current social media in the food space, being in business together as a married couple AND we play a very marital bliss filled game of RECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES. Who brings the restaurant home? Who really wears the pants? This and so much more, taste buds.

S4 Ep 39:The first fine dining restaurant in the US; Max Tucci

We've got hospitality ROYALTY on the pod today. Max Tucci belongs to the family lineage behind the first fine dining restaurant in the United States, Delmonico's. The restaurant that also happens to be older than the first flushable toilet in the White House! We yap with Max about his ancestors, belonging to a historic restaurant family, his "Ozempic menu" and how he banned a real housewife from coming to his restaurants. All this and a ridiculous game we made up called "Tacky or Tucci". @maxtucci MENTIONS: @delmonicosnewyork @drinkoishii @whitecastle @sonjatmorgan @frauncestavern @frescobyscotto @goldensteernyc @ilpostoaccanto @nellcan @thepolobar @coqodaq @loropiana @melbasharlem Welcome to the irreverent & unfiltered world of PUT IT IN MY MOUTH, a podcast that fearlessly explores the underbelly of the hospitality industry.

S4 Ep 38:Building the Roberta's Empire; Brandon Hoy

Brandon Hoy started Roberta's out of a ramshackle, cinder block warehouse and has created an empire. How did one idea become international locations, frozen pizza in grocery stores, slice shops and still his og location in Brooklyn thrives. We may or may not get bars from Brandon's alter ego, MC TODD during a game of "Six Pack or Diss Track". There's also the time Jay Z brought his own pepperoni to Roberta's. Also....how to scale a brand without dilution. Let's goooooooo!

S4 Ep 37: Bar/cocktail trends & IDFWT with Ben Hopkins-Prager

Ben Hokins-Prager is one of the most important industry folk behind the bar in NYC and they join us in the sass seat for a very bitchy episode. We run through our Season 2 "I DON'T F%CK WITH THAT" answers from ourselves and our guests. We also pick Ben's "neuro spicy brain" on cocktail trends they want to die, how a cocktail should be a self containing universe and their hatred of off season decor. Grab the milk, Taste Buds, we got a buncha spicy takes.
