Description: Julian Black is a front of house LA born and raised man at the recently opened Alba on Melrose, and he earned his stripes in New York with Major Food Group at some of Jordan's favorite restaurants, so the fellas talk Olive Garden at a Michelin level, building an Italian vacation vibes restaurant from scratch, getting into 4 Charles Prime, captains vs. servers, guests vs. customers, pushed back vs. slicked back (again), splitting the bill, Max's first Hollywood job, and Jordan has more menu ideas. Plus, the worst customer behavior, how much of a dish can you eat and still return it, lying about being allergic to ingredients, greasing the host advice when you need a table, romancing at a restaurant, and is the customer always right?
