TUFF SHIFT! Episode Eighty: Sean Patrick welcomes a guest who unknowingly has been a part of his first hospitality memories in NYC; the adorable, the charming, the multi-talented and faceted human being that is Chris Crowthers. From unpacking their time spent in THERAPY (the bar on 52nd) to working brunch as a gay man to the back and forth of it all, the conversation was too bountiful for just one episode. Tune in this week for the highs and lows of hospitality and make sure you come back for next week's episode about Chris' journey into fitness and a small business own.
