  • Balls Deep in Menu Design: Pork, Psychology, and the Tragedy of Sweet Salmon
    2024/10/31

    Join Erin and Dr. Sizzle as they dive balls deep into the art (and agony) of menu design. From the great pork tenderloin mystery to why salmon just doesn’t need a fruity sauce (according to Erin, anyway), this episode unpacks the wild world of restaurant menus, food costing, and customer psychology. Why don’t people want pork chops but can’t get enough of bacon? And how does one upsell shrimp like a pro without feeling like a car salesman? Spoiler: You just do. So sit back, grab some toast points (not pork tacos), and enjoy the carnage of menu creation.

  • Toast Points, Nazis, and the Joy of Upselling Malbec: A Day in Restaurant Purgatory
    2024/10/24

    In this episode of 'You're Not Special,' Erin and Dr. Sizzle tackle the real heroes of the restaurant industry: servers who deal with everything from Nazi fashion statements to ‘health-conscious vegans’ who still manage to ask for dessert. We also explore how ordering a $38 Malbec can turn into an existential crisis, and why nothing says class like eating toast points with huckleberry sauce while demanding a second order. It’s all the cringe, all the chaos, and yes, some smoking on the golf course. Buckle up, this one's spicy (but don't worry, it's vegan).

    2024/10/10

    In this masked memoir of 'You're Not Special,' we're diving into the chaotic chronicles of the restaurant industry's wildest plot twist - when dining out became more forbidden than your server's face tattoos.

    Strap in, folks! This week on 'You're Not Special,' we dive deep into COVID, but not in that depressing, been-there-done-that way. Ever wondered what happens when a pandemic shuts down the world, restaurants close, and you get really creative with weed and bruschetta? Join Erin and Dr. Sizzle as they recount the 'joys' of lockdown in Seattle, from illegal to-go margaritas to discovering how much time you can spend watching MasterClass before you start thinking you're a Michelin-star chef. Bonus: listen as Erin discovers the magic of fake vaccine cards and shares how nothing says rebellion like creating them on Canva. Whether you were crying over missing restaurants or just losing your mind in lockdown, this episode is for you.
