About this listen

“Born from boredom, seasoned with chaos, fired by idiots, and plated for the masses.” Two (or more) chefs talking life, service, and everything in between — unfiltered, unapologetic, and usually slightly hungover. Service please.Copyright 2025 All rights reserved. Art Cooking Food & Wine

  • “With Our Eyes Closed”
    Jul 15 2025

    This week, Dan and Rich get a little deeper behind the pass. From the kitchen tasks they could prep blindfolded, to the people they’d cook for one last time — this one hits a bit harder. There’s emotion, honesty, and a few near-tears as they open up about the chefs who influenced them, the ego that comes with the job, and when you actually feel ready in a kitchen.

    Rich finds out he’s been Dan’s influence all along, and they both get hit with a reminder of why food really matters.

    Still full of laughs, banter, and blunt truth — it’s everything you love about the show, with a bit more heart on the plate.

  • “From Pass to Pallet: What Makes a Chef Today?”
    Jul 8 2025

    This week, Rich swaps chef whites for warehouse boots. We clash old school vs new gen kitchen mentality, debate whether food is art or ego, and dive into the age-old question: should recipes be freely shared or fiercely guarded? All that, plus laughs, flames, and deep chef chat — only on Behind the Pass.
