Before we were behind the bar, we were behind the line. In this episode, the Bar Chords crew dives into our roots in the service industry—starting in hot, chaotic kitchens and eventually making the move out front. We talk first jobs, lessons learned in the trenches, and what pulled us toward bartending and serving.

This one’s for the dishwashers, line cooks, and bussers dreaming of that first pour. Everyone’s gotta start somewhere.

🎙️ Hosts: Alex, Brant, and Joel
🔥 Topics: Kitchen origins, service industry growth, front-of-house transitions
