Today we chat it up with restaurant author Joël Hoachuck. Joël is the author of "Welcome to Waiters' World: The Essential Guide to Serving Food & Drink."

He's an experienced restaurateur, having worked at high end restaurants such as Relais & Chateaux. He's also opened and operated profitable and award-winning businesses.

Today I have 3 topics to discuss from his book:

#1 - Page 19 "know your products" - I want to discuss the importance of being well versed on your menu

#2 - Page 46 "make recommendations" - Talk about how the right recommendations can add to the meal and lead to a much better experience

#3 - Page 52 "desert time" - Selling deserts and drinks after the meal.
