In this side-splitting episode of You're Not Special, Erin Lomondjek and Dr. Sizzle dive fork-first into the wild world of catering vs. restaurant life. From juggling tri-tips and salmon for 100+ guests to the audacity of star-shaped butter at weddings, they serve up hilarious anecdotes and spicy industry truths. Whether you’re a holiday host or a wedding guest wondering why your steak wasn’t medium rare, this episode will have you laughing, learning, and maybe questioning your next menu choices. Order up and dig in!

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.

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).
