Side Work Podcast

Today we lean into bad vibes and unexplained activity that haunts old bars and restaurants. Accidents happen, people go missing, violent deaths can occur and that's just a Saturday night at The Biltmore in Los Angeles. Yes, folks, it's that time of year where we celebrate all things spooky and dastardly! Joining us is guest host Ken Reid who weaves tales of terror from his days waiting tables all around New England.

Today we finally tackle the first part of a dining experience that can make or break your night out: The Host. This complicated human can be a punching bag or rock star and either nail the seat map or be the straw that breaks a restaurants back. It's a rough job that we've all had to do. We read your Server Submitted Stories and then of course welcome our good friend Will Miles, AKA the Mayor of Chicago Dogs and Salad Bar Technician, into the pod den.

No dining establishment owner is safe from the wrath of the Side Work hosts and today we take on restaurant, hotel, & food "mogul" : Donald J. Trump. The ladies do a deep dive into the reviews, working conditions, and complaints lobbied against the Trump Hotel chain, Mar A Lago, and Trump Steaks & Wine brand. We also come to the conclusion that the person who most needs to wait tables for one day is Trump, which could be a great career option for him after he gets fired from being the president.

We get right back into our discussion of the "man-tality" behind "family friendly" chains like Twin Peaks and Hooters after last week's titillating exploration of the role of Playboy Bunnies serving food and drink. The gals discuss some recent taco related injuries and enjoy the heck out of your Server Submitted Stories! Then, we invite former counter server and revered Los Angeles food writer and critic Katherine Spiers of Smart Mouth Podcast to talk about the insanity of bakers, the glory days of food criticism and as a server how to keep it cool when someone is reviewing your establishment.
