Description
After thirty one years running restaurants, I learned one thing most people never find out: the staff knows exactly where to eat, and where to never eat. 🍽️
I spent three decades behind the scenes of this industry. I saw which kitchens cut corners, which ones took pride in every plate, and which places the owners themselves trusted with their own families. The truth is simple. Some restaurants earn your money, and some just take it.
In this video I walk you through 15 places I’d always eat at, even now that I’m out of the business. 👀 These are the spots that pass the test when you know what really happens in the back. From the way they handle fresh ingredients to the small habits that separate a great kitchen from a risky one, I’ll show you exactly what to look for the next time you sit down to eat out. 🔍
If years in restaurants taught me anything, it’s that a little inside knowledge changes how you order forever.
