  • EP 4: Beef At Work: Hushpuppies and Off Brand Snacks
    Dec 29 2025

    "Every sweat ring tells a story."

    In this episode, Sean and Steve dive deep into the messy, high-pressure world of "Kitchen Beef." From early-career bullying and ego trips to the evolution of mutual respect behind the line, the guys get real about how the culture of the kitchen shapes—and sometimes breaks—the people in it.

    Inside the Episode:

    • The Aldi Haul: Testing out $17 worth of snacks

    • The Tall Hat Pecking Order: The ridiculous history of the Chef’s Hat and the hazing rituals of the "New Guy" hat.

    • Hygiene & Heat: A raw (and slightly awkward) look at staying clean during a 110-degree summer double-shift.

    • The Evolution of Beef: Stories of old grudges, throwing pans, and finally growing up enough to respect the person next to you.

  • EP 3: The Holiday Release: A Conversation with Jamie Amador, a Mentor & Michiana Native
    Dec 22 2025

    Merry Christmas from the "We Feed Them" kitchen! In our first ever holiday special, Sean and Steve are joined by Seans longtime mentor: Executive Chef Jamie Amador (aka Don Jaime). This isn't your average "silent night" we’re diving deep into 40 years of kitchen grit, from the legendary Bonnie Dune to the "Verbal Fire" of high-volume steakhouses.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • The Finger Flap Incident: Jamie recounts a gruesome meat-slicer injury on the final day of a cross-country move to Tucson.

    • Don’t Bite the Cook: The "Red Flag" story of a KFC coworker who took "drumstick" too literally.

    • Lightning in a Bottle: Why "handfuls and pinches" are the enemy of notoriety, and why Jamie preaches keeping a meticulous kitchen journal.

    • Factory Floor Horrors: Steve and Jamie compare notes on food manufacturing, from 55 gallon drums of mayo to the mindless soul sucking of professional donut flipping.

    • The Christmas Prototype: We taste-test Jamie’s latest creation a Beet & Chili Crisp Deviled Egg, and discuss the science of the "endorphin rush."

    Whether you’re in your Christmas pajamas or grinding out a double on the line, this episode is a masterclass in staying consistent when the weeds get high.
