About This Podcast

You're Not Special" is the hilarious, no-holds-barred podcast that serves up the juiciest stories from both sides of the kitchen door. Join Erin Loman Jeck, the high-flying CEO with a secret addiction to waiting tables, and the enigmatic Doctor Sizzle, a culinary genius by day and concert going by night, as they dish out the drama that's made to order in the restaurant world. Each episode, we'll dive into the chaotic, dysfunctional family vibe of restaurant life, featuring outrageous customer requests, kitchen disasters turned triumphs, and staff interactions spicier than the daily special. Whether you're a seasoned industry pro or just love a good laugh with your meal, "You're Not Special" offers a balanced perspective on the wild world of restaurants. We'll bring you interviews with chefs, long-time servers, restaurant owners, and even the occasional health inspector for a taste of the unexpected. So pull up a chair and join us at the table where the menu is set, but the drama is made to order. Because what happens in the walk-in, doesn't stay in the walk-in – it becomes our next episode. Listen in, and remember: your weirdest customer is our next story.
