It is really tough to be funny and run a light, silly show about the restaurant industry in June of 2020. So we aren't really trying.

Good morning America. Today we're talking about flooding in Michigan, flooding in restaurants, chip salad, culinary whitewashing and deeply flawed kitchen 'tips & tricks'.
