No Reservations

Welcome Back, Welcome Back. Its double trouble week here at No Reservations. We have Savannah AND Katie, two spooky girls who are Queer for King. We get right down to the nitty gritty of moving to NYC, finding a job, and having a gross old man be gross because, respectfully, people suck. We're the only podcast where you can find croutons, M&Ms, and straight nuggs. That's right. Twice the guests. Twice the cocktails. Twice the trauma. But only half the interview (gotta come back next week for the rest).

Welcome back to No Reservations! Today, Anna and Ryan have cooked up something special for you all: a new type of episode! We'll be starting a new miniseries, along with your regularly scheduled interview content, where Anna and Ryan watch your favorite service industry movies and review them. And to start things off, we did the one and only Waiting... starring the devilishly handsome Justin Long as Dean, the Ryan-sound-alike Ryan Reynolds as Monty, and the FIERCE Anna Faris as... Eyeshadow? We don't remember her name. So if you, like us, have wanted to rewatch this 2005 cult classic but don't feel like shelling out $3 to rent it on Amazon Prime, just listen to this episode instead! We're 1000X less homophobic.

WeLCoMe HoMe! <- That was a joke for a very specific set of listeners, but the rest of this episode is for everyone. Where else can you find a server, bartender, student, teacher, librarian, bingo caller, piano player at a German restaurant, but this week, with our friend, Patrick!! Join us on this journey as we explore Milwaukee, the Milwaukee of Queens (Astoria), and everything in between. Bar games, skinny girl cocktails, and Bloody Marys on white fur coats abound! Grab your fake IDs, whip up a Cucumber Spin, sit back, relax (Patrick does love sitting), and enjoy No Res.

And just like that, we're back with a new episode of No Reservations covering Sex, The City, AND everything in between. We've got our good friend Hannah who enjoys steamy romance novels, challenging dude-bros' masculinities, and NOT wearing costumes. From sounding,  soaking, and shots in your mouth (thats the sex part) to regulars and industry lifers (thats the city part) we really have got it all. So grab the Dan who's got a special place in your heart, shake up a cosmo or two, and enjoy Hannah's "Villain Origin Story." This is No Res.

Welcome back to No Res... After Dark. (We ask you to take a sip of your drink every time we say "After Dark" and refill when you hear the Episode Title.) You can't rush perfection, and this podcast took two weeks to drop because we've got our good buddy Aaron who is just as fast a talker as we are and like Bond, takes his Vesper shaken, not stirred. Be warned, this was a late night recording for a late night crowd, so buckle into your Vespa's and get ready for a wild ride through Vampire Cocks, Yeast Clouds, Olympians, Mistresses, High School Musical, and much much more. It's the only podcast endorsed by Apolo Ohno, but if you're anything like Lea Michele, just hit play because this written episode description did nothing for you. Cheers!.

I'm so sorry for the wait, your server was in the bathroom. We pee too, people. But we're back with another fantastic episode of No Reservations! This week, Anna and Ryan had the pleasure of welcoming Ross onto the podcast. And what better way to welcome Ross than with a hearty discussion about the joys of pooping? Consider this your trigger warning. In this episode, we talk about the differences between serving in corporate vs Mom & Pop settings, how douchy LoveSac is, why you're an asshole if you return a taster pour, and why you should NEVER try to rapid-cool cava. I'm going to be honest... I'm not perfect, but this episode is damn close.

INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT. No Reservations is back with our friend Louie who is here to be the brown-haired, white boy we've all been waiting for. Speaking of "Waiting", we're "Still Waiting" for a sequel. But until then we've got a fun episode in store with a little bit of everything including weird wall art, unironically laying pipe, a revisit to last weeks Buffalo sauce discussion, Strict Taco Tuesday Rules, and a little bit of MAGIC! So pick a beer, any beer. And on that note... BLACKOUT,

Astoria Slaps! Need we say more?

Yeah. You're right. We probably should. This week we have one of our dearest friends Rebecca (born, raised, and now running a bar in Astoria) here to provide some much needed Quality Assurance. After consulting with our lawyers, we don't think the Bourdain Estate or the 2007 Cathrine Zeta-Jones movie will be coming for us, so let's jump in shall we? This episode is jam packed with planning parties, discussing cake trauma, and exposing Buffalo Wild Wings. So grab a coffee, take off all your clothes (there's a stripper story) and enjoy No Reservations.

All aboard for another episode of No Reservations. This week we have our co-worker and good friend Josh who's journey though the industry was everything Anthony Bourdain told him it would be and a lot of things he forgot to mention. We're making all local stops including Dr. Seuss, Dad Jokes, Bad Management, Poland, and Ineffective Aphrodisiacs. So pour yourself a white, off-white, ceramic, or ivory Negroni, and find out where IS Josh's super-suit? Enjoy!

"Hi Listener. I'm Dad." Strap in friends. This week we've got our friend Matt (the third to grace the No Res Pod) and this one is for the Dad's. With dad jokes, tennis stars, and brewery stories galore it's gonna leave you with a satisfying mouthfeel. Don't understand what we mean? Well tune in and you might just learn a few things, including cleaning tips, the coolest bathroom in Chicago, and the taco bell-iest bar in NYC. Pour one Boulevardier out for the short kings and enjoy this weeks No Reservations.
