What happens when two bartenders get thrown into one of the toughest, most disciplined restaurant environments in New York City — and somehow come out as lifelong friends?

In this episode of Billion Dollar Bartender, George “G-Walk” Nwokocha sits down with his brother-in-the-trenches, Steve Sherman, to reminisce about their early days at Houston’s (now Hillstone) — where perfection wasn’t requested, it was required.

From the mystery of how Steve somehow got hired without an interview to surviving one of the most intense training programs in the business, the two swap hilarious behind-the-bar stories and share what those days taught them about teamwork, temperament, and tenacity.
