Every restaurant worker has that one story—the moment you just couldn’t take it anymore. In this episode of Restaurant Punk, we get real about what happens when patience runs out and the hospitality mask slips.

From shouting over hot dogs and bar tab chases to the quiet chaos of a server on their last nerve, we share the moments we lost it... and maybe learned something along the way (or not).

👊 In this episode:

• When customer entitlement pushes you too far
• The art of “professional” savagery
• Legendary industry meltdowns (some deserved, some... not so much)
• Why seasoned restaurant vets stop pretending to care

Whether you’ve been in the weeds, stuck on a double, or just needed one more reason to quit the service industry—this one’s for you.

What happens when restaurant pros head home for dinner? In this episode of Restaurant Punk, we’re serving up real talk about life beyond the kitchen line—from first-date meals to who really handles the home cooking when you're in the industry.

🍽️ The crew shares:

• Their go-to "impress you" dishes (hello, filet and stolen soufflés)
• The great taco debate: hard shell vs. soft
• Why restaurant skills don’t always translate to the home kitchen
• Cooking dynamics in relationships (and how some of us went from burning toast to mastering meatloaf)

Whether you're in food service, love to cook, or just want to laugh about the chaos of mealtime, this episode is for you.

Pull up a chair, grab a fork, and get into it—Restaurant Punk style.

Along the way, expect laughter, a few unexpected tangents (yes, someone ends up in a crop top), and honest takes from the restaurant floor.

Whether you’re a server, manager, owner, or just someone who loves the energy of a good restaurant shift, this episode is for you.
