Welcome to the Show! Meet Chef Todd Annis and see why after 30 years in the business, he's been compelled (and cajoled by his wife) to start a podcast and get some things off his chest.

In today's episode, Chef Todd shares the number one requested story from you guys, "Honey, I burnt down the truck." Sit back and enjoy the ride as Todd describes how one day a high-level, confident chef finds himself feeling like an 8-year old shamed and stammering to explain to the parents (a.k.a. his bosses/the owners) how exactly an entire box truck was burnt to the ground. 

The stories are real and we all have them. You'll hear stories of the raccoons stealing rentals, serving shrimp and grits in hurricanes, kitty litter Saturday and the fights between the wedding parties. 

Find about about how the expected pop-ups create situational problems and how to overcome, learn and move on. 
 
And as always, keep your boots on the ground! Thank for listening!
