We're back with Season 5, Taste Buds! Chef & restaurateur Eric Sze (886, WenWen) joins us for a brutally honest look at why owning a restaurant is an emotional nightmare. We discuss the industry's obsession with "authenticity" and his start operating an illegal food delivery service to make booze money. Eric also breaks down the corporate contradictions and downright icky feelings behind the massive new Michelin and Sysco partnership.

Nick and Nat, married couple owners of Anton's and Leon's in NYC are in the studio! We get deep into who wins when FOH and BOH have disagreements, the double edged sword of current social media in the food space, being in business together as a married couple AND we play a very marital bliss filled game of RECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES. Who brings the restaurant home? Who really wears the pants? This and so much more, taste buds.
