Kris Baljak is the Beverage Director for a decently large restaurant group. We get to speak about hardships of managing such a large scale operation and finding key players in the space to help make his job a little easier.

It's not everyday we get to talk about firefighting and food at the same time - but today we have done just that. AJ Fusco runs an instagram account called @Forkandhose that features plates from firefighters everywhere. He also knows what he's doing in a kitchen though as he's graced several premier establishments over the years with his Fork skills. He has also improved his hosing over the years as he's been a firefighter longer than you've been listening to podcasts! http://www.forkandhoseco.com/
