14- Live from Midnights Brooklyn

The Notafoodie crew heads to Williamsburg, Brooklyn to talk about the evolution of the "local bar". We talk to bar patrons, owners, and chefs to find out their thoughts on how a bar can establish itself as a neighborhood staple in an area that has changed and continues to change over the years. 

We talk about:

Elite yelp reviewers
Sustainable food
Obsessions with Orange Wine
How the neighborhood has changed from a place where you would end up in a warehouse watching Moby to high ticket DJ Sets by Quest Love at a hip bowling alley
Washing dishes and chopping off fingers to pay your dues
Faking your way into the restaurant industry
The challenges of hiring low-wage level talent in a city where you can’t afford to live on a low-wage salary
Dedication and drive of a chef
Instagram (for good and bad)
The "everyone pitches in and gets dirty" attitude you need to survive in the restaurant world
Dealing with Online reviews
Coming up with awesome drink names

... and much more

We hope you have as much fun listening to this as we had making it. Go check out our new friends at Midnights!
