A zeros Journey Podcast

The service industry is one of the largest fringe communities in the world. It is filled with substance abuse, depression, and a death rate that competes with the NFL and pro wrestling. From all walks of life, these misfits become life long friends, family, and lovers. Hear about it from the inside. Players include, Justin "Tio" Morales. 27 years in the business. From the kitchen to the bar to managing partner. NYC to the UK. Not a bad living for a left handed, feral, dyslexic. Originated from a welfare, substance abuse riddled family in a small town in Connecticut. Chef Ben, a gay pastor at an American Baptist church, a teacher, a community leader and executive chef for many years. Vacationing on Martha vineyard for years and aware of his privilege never relied on it. The one of us who reads! Then Rome. The mixing board and bar mixologist. Born and raised to the farm life. Learned to cook and drink. He escaped the back of the house to make a name for hismelf behind the bar. Sam, the one female who can or atleast is willing to tolerate us. A great bartender with great marketing eyeballs. She keeps us on track...ish.
