• Michael Walchalk and Chanta Hunter: Unlimited Suns and Breadsticks
    Sep 26 2020

    Michael Walchalk — graphic designer, illustrator for sports statistics website StatMuse.com, and self-proclaimed failed NBA player — joins The Unemployed Bartender on our 11th episode. He and Keith talk about some of his freelance design projects (which include clients such as ESPN, the Phoenix Suns, and 500 Level), and their shared love for basketball and Nintendo.
    Guest bartender is Chanta Hunter, who is most likely the main attraction at the Times Square Olive Garden (aside from the unlimited breadsticks, that is). She shares with us her “lunchbox” mommy margarita that can very, very easily be made at home.
