Anthropological

We're back with our final episode of Season 4 and we're so excited to be joined by our friend and Chicago hosptiality powerhouse, Dylan Stewart! In this episode, we chat about cocktail conferences, industry gatherings, Tales, PDXCW, and more. So much more...

We're back with another conversation about the hospitality industry that we all know and love, and this time it's JUST THE FAM. Kisira and David chat about chain restaurants, a grouping of the industry that gets left out of a lot of discussions. Olive Garden and Chile's and Applebee's, OH MY!

Special thanks to our sponsors: Hotaling & Co., Elijah Craig, Cointreau

We're back with another conversation about the hospitality industry that we all know and love, this time with two industry powerhouses: Shannon Mustipher and Erika Flowers. We discuss the idea of "pipelines," including how we enter the industry, find our path within it, and make the most out of what it has to offer.

Anthropological is back with another conversation about the hospitality industry, which as many of us know, isn't always the healthiest environment to work in. We love it, which is why we take the time to analyze and restructure it. We're excited to do exactly that with our dear friend, Alex Jump. We discuss "toxic positivity" and how it can poorly influence our ability to manage conflict, grow as a business, and more.

On this special episode of Anthropological, it's just the family! Kisira and David go down the rabbit hole of "trending foods" found on YouTube, TikTok, and more. Pink Sauces and Skittle Margaritas and mystery milks...we provide our insight and honest "yay" or "nay" to these viral trends.

Who's hungry?! In this episode of Anthropological, Kisira and David are joined by James Beard Award-nominated Chef Zubair Mohajir or Wazwan, Lilac Tiger, and Coach House. He has created a cult following for himself in Chicago with his elevated approach to street food, whilst remaining true to the origin and story of specific dishes. We dish it all (no pun intended): our fav street foods; how to discover authentic vs. bastardized food; white-washing of international cuisine; and MORE.

In this Pride episode of Anthropological, we are joined by Chicago's very own Másha Potato, a Queen for all Queens. We break down the phenomenon of drag brunch, the socio-cultural importance of entertaining within bars, and how drag has emboldened hospitality professionals to infuse camp into drink naming, garnishing, and more.

Anthropological is BACK, and for its 4th season, we're excited to bring you more engaging conversations about hospitality, food, booze, and how it all ties in with a lil anthropological context.

On this episode, we 4 millennials discuss the act of hosting dinner parties, what inspires us, our must haves and do nots, and so much more. We're joined by friends and lovers, Kiki and Matt, to break down all the TEA on being the ultimate host.

In our final episode of Season 3, we are joined by the delightful and wildly talented Jessi Pollak. We break down the world of cocktail competitions: the good, the great, the not so good, the fun, the effort, the everything.

It's not just the word of the last 3 years, folks--it's real!  Accountability is the focus in this week's episode of Anthropological, and Kisira and David break down their personal experiences with holding people in leadership positions accountable, work spaces, and more.  They are joined by Chicago's very own Raeghn Draper, Co-Founder of the CHAAD Project, and a vet of the hospitality industry.  Give'em a listen while they dissect the difficulties in holding friends accountable, maintaining boundaries with certain sectors of the industry, etc.
