What happens when your passion for the kitchen runs headfirst into a bad boss and unfair pay? We're diving into the history of being undervalued in the food industry.

Hosts Steve and Sean discuss:

  • The Zero-Dollar Promotion: Sean's infuriating story of being offered a kitchen manager title —with zero change in his salary—and his decision to walk out.

  • The Steak n' Shake Midnight Escape: The legendary moment Steve quit a late shift that had him feeling like a "dork in a bow tie."
