You guys.  Bosses.  Restaurant owners.  While it has never really been a good time to be racist, now is REALLY NOT A GOOD TIME.  Also, Chipotle continues to poison people, bakers are uniting against racism and Ben becomes obsessed with beans.

It is really tough to be funny and run a light, silly show about the restaurant industry in June of 2020.  So we aren't really trying.  Today we're talking systemic racism in restaurants, what happens when restaurant owners open their big stupid racist mouths on social media, why Bon Apetit is likely to see a huge management staffing shift, and geckos.

Black Lives Matter.  I cannot do much, but here is what I am going to do.

Good morning America.  Today we're talking about flooding in Michigan, flooding in restaurants, chip salad, culinary whitewashing and deeply flawed kitchen 'tips & tricks'.  It's getting wild out there.  Spoilers, don't trust everything on the internet.  (You can trust us.)

Nothing's good in the world right now, so we decided to distract you by running down the 'favorite cocktails from each state', as reported to us by someone who nuzzled up to some Google Analytics.  So, America, as the shelter-in-place days grind on, what are YOU drinking?

Today we're wading into the obviously racist twitter beef between Alison "Off-White" Roman and Chrissy Teigen, we talk fancy grilled cheese, homemeade Cheetos and why aren't there mobile slaughterhouses?

Just in time for your morning commute to nowhere, New Episode!  Today we're talking Chuck E Cheese's identity crisis, being accosted by 'girl' scouts and a bread article written by a Karen who is so white, her name may as well be Caren White.  Don't you buy that flour; Caren's gonna getcha.

We continue to contribute to the nationwide flour & yeast shortage tonight, baking all sorts of incredible and inadvisable things.  Also, let's talk some more about Grubhub's terrible policies toward restaurants and look out Georgia.

Like so many of you, I am locked out of my kitchen.  I miss my home, I miss my profession, I miss my staff.  So here's a band-aid.  This will not fix your problems.  This will not fill your dining rooms.  This will not reopen your doors.  But this is 50 straight minutes of kitchen line noise. You're welcome.

The shelter-en-place baking continues!  Steve & Ben make gigantic cinnamon rolls, against their better judgement.  Tonight we discuss CSAs, food truck theme songs and why didn't Open Table switch to setting up curbside reservations for grocery stores?
