Bryan Callen: Comedy, Hospitality and the Love of Good Food
The Banter
The Guys discuss the concept of some establishments “forcing” guests to “enjoy” their way. All Francis wanted was some milk in his coffee!
The Conversation
The Restaurant Guys catch up with comedian and podcaster Bryan Callen, whom they met when he chose their restaurant Stage Left Steak for his series “Best of, with Bryan Callen: NJ Steakhouse.” Bryan shares many of his food acquisition stories and they compare stand-up comedy to running a restaurant. See who has the harder gig.

BEHIND THE SCENES
The Guys met Bryan when he chose to film Best of, with Bryan Callen at their restaurant Stage Left Steak. They quickly bonded over Wagyu steak and escargot. He’s made a few trips back to their place where they all enjoy great food and a lot of laughs.
“I miss your restaurant. I miss your steak. I miss that stone. I miss everything about that Wagyu that you sell by the ounce that tastes like chestnuts.
I don't know where you get those cows. You probably have them in the back suspended on straps and you massage them with beer and feed them nothing but fluffy alfalfa from your hand."
