After a whirlwind of spring break fun, new job chaos, and a brush with jury duty, I’m back with a fresh, unscripted episode—and I’m coming in hot. This week, we're talking about how to be a better guest when dining out. From bathroom etiquette to the myth of “the customer is always right,” I’m breaking down what respectful behavior in restaurants actually looks like.

I also share a new food obsession that’s saving my weeknight dinners—perfect for busy folks who still crave a home-cooked meal.

If you’re new here, Unpretentious Eats is all about making food, wine, and hospitality approachable and real—no snobbery allowed. Hit subscribe, leave a review, and follow along for more unfiltered takes.

Grab your drink and let’s get into it.
