Don't go to the small business festival and bitch about small business pricing. I'm trying to be like his Dr. Dre to Eminim. Or his Eminem to 50 Cent. Or 50 Cent to The Game. How to open a restaurant without finding cans of money. HOW DID TIPPING GET SO OUT OF CONTROL. Josh is a boner killer. Dave's Grandma is a Betty. Perceived value in scalped doughnuts. Guess which city in Seattle tips the worst (hint, its SLU). Taco Omakase from Bar Dojo recap. Fuck Yelp, get your info from diners drive ins and dives. His ass cheeks have limited space after that. Cronut's cousin. The Job to get if you like money and women. We'll talk about The Bear next week. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS MORGAN!
