Episode 9 was our second try with Breanna due to technical difficulties and thank you so much to Breanna for making this happen. Breanna has worked in many service industry roles: Expo, Hostess's, Server, Owner of a juice business and her most recent job, Wine Rep. Breanna has so much to offer in the way of service industry conversation, but it's her extensive wine knowledge where we wanted to take the conversation. We finish the show talking briefly about the latest Rochester Magazine cover story "Rochester's Restaurant influencers", and these wonderful people's sense of community and commitment to the service industry. So please join us for some great conversation.

episode 8 - we start the show reflecting on one of the three big (rookie/amateur) nights in our industry, Valentines and then shift gears to discussing a situation that many of us in the industry dread, an injury that puts us out of work. Brian has long had a troublesome knee but when his knee pops at work, things don't look good. spoiler alert: Brian is fine, but a good conversation was had about the fear of prolonged absence from work. 

Our guest this week is one of our newer co-workers Brittney and get her perspective of being the Newbie at an established restaurant, coming from a college bar and grill into a restaurant full of veteran staff and in a busy downtown atmosphere.

To finish up the show, Rant and Raves is back, and this week mostly Rants, it is the middle of winter and Valentines just happened, what do you expect?

Enjoy the show!
