Whip Cream Salmon
Welcome to Whip Cream Salmon! Buckle up, fellow service industry survivors, because behind these kitchen doors, former line cooks are ready to dredge up some of the weirdest and wildest tales of restaurant life.

Hosted by Brian Bastanza & Ronnie Sanchez.

This week on Whipped Cream Salmon, co-hosts Brian and Ronnie dive headfirst into life's delicious, and sometimes chaotic, adventures. Ronnie kicks things off with the relatable tale of a new job gone wrong, prompting a hunt for greener pastures and a deep dive into high-ABV beers. He dreams of a future at "The Stanbury," a chef-owned gem with a gritty vibe, where a 40oz Miller High Life comes with champagne flutes and the possibility of a better work-life balance (and more "bro stuff" time with Brian!).
Meanwhile, Brian's been a culinary commando, meticulously prepping vacuum-sealed, frozen meals for an upcoming festival. From wok-fired veggies and chicken to homemade "kimchi," his camp menu is dialed in, especially now that a friend's food truck at the festival promises access to burners and a dish pit! The conversation veers into the surprising difficulty of finding 35mm film in an age of cell phone cameras, and Ronnie shares a chuckle-worthy anecdote about being "trained" by a 19-year-old culinary student.
Join Brian and Ronnie as they navigate the highs and lows of job searching, culinary triumphs, and the ever-elusive quest for the perfect photo development, all while dreaming of baseball, burritos, and more good times ahead!
