3 Course Meal

Better late than never, the triad meet to celebrate the end of summer with the most classic summer cocktail of them all, the Aperol Spritz! While we sip our orange delights, we chat through how we categorize the spectrum of mistakes made during a shift. Do you really need your meal comped, Linda? You ate the whole thing....? We also touch on everyones least favorite part of a restaurant shift - the sidework! What is it, why does it suck, and what parts might be...kind of therapeutic??

Lastly, we cap it off with some more classic and crazy stories of cutting people off! No more drinky for you sir! No seriously...I can't serve you anymore....

We have our first west coast guest, Regi Carter, joining us today to talk all things East Coast versus West Coast! We sip on our frozen daiquiris while we compare what it's like to serve on both coasts - Regi also talks to us about what it was like to move from high volume bartender into a management position. Was this the death of her career? Or was this an opportunity to hone her skills in even more? How does she keep everyone happy (or is that even possible)?

We wrap things up by looking at moments during service that are, dare we say, too hospitable - and believe me we have quite a list!

The classic trio sits down again to chat about another classic, the Gin & Tonic - this drink has some deep roots in history and we still love it! While sippin', we chat all things LOCAL - what does "local" really mean, and why are people so obsessed with things being local (and should they be?); all while ending the meal with some interesting thoughts on our favorite overrated snacks!

Travis is back in town! We get the OG gang back together to chat all things awards season! It's James Beard season and the Michelin Man never stops - but who gets the winning spot!? We go into how the industry folks get nominated and ultimately win! 

Listen in as we sip on the delicious Old Cuban and dive into our personal food bucket lists - what makes something a true food experience and what makes it worth it!?

It's tax time babyy! The classic three top sits down to discuss everyone's favorite time of the year - tax season! While sippin' on some refreshing Palomas, we talk about how this tax season might differ from the last, the nuance of salesmanship as a server and bartender, and the things that many restaurants allow....that they really just shouldn't.

Your trusted trio sits down to chat all things Rum Daiquiris, table manners (Are they still relevant or not?), moving through industry jobs with your pals, and how to truly spot an industry vet. What makes them tick? How do you tell "someones cooked here"?

Stick around for dessert as we might tap into some nostalgia when we harken back to foods and drinks that make us think of childhood!

Hey Hey Hey! Got room for a 4 top!? Today we talk to our lovely friend and co-hospitality worker, Jamaica, about her experiences in the industry! We talk all things sobriety as a bartender, the ever prevalent but sometimes controversial "shift drink", and what it's like to start your own side business while in this industry! 

Come sit, chat, and laugh with us as we talk about how we move through these uncertain times, and yet still manage to remember that wine you ordered to come with your dinner!

The three buddies of 3 Course Meal sit down again, and it's finally HOLIDAY SEASON!

Join us as we sip on some lovely Moscow Mules (minus the copper cup), and chat all things navigating the Holiday season in the restaurant, and the things we have to do to keep things clean around here! The glasses are piping hot and our hands are raw from washing them over and over again but we're still laughing and hanging so come join!

Back back back together again! After a bit of a hiatus, your favorite three top sits down to drink the tropical Jungle Bird, discuss how we navigate through the weeds, talk about what makes an ideal service for each of us, and even touch on the "loopholes" that customers try to take advantage of, that are really just asshole moves.
