Brian Bendams—Funny Bone Comedy Club
from Restaurant Hoppen · host Hurrdat Media
What's it like to be the Executive Chef at a comedy club? It's a question most people don't know the answer too, which is why I loved having this conversation with Brian. We talked about how to "chef up" burgers and chicken tenders, the various requests famous comedians make, preparing for potential "Chopped" appearances, the value of cooking school, and the social toll working in restaurants takes on cooks' lives. It's a wide-ranging conversation that opened my eyes in several ways. 📍 Omaha Funny Bonehttps://omaha.funnybone.com/ This is another Hurrdat Media Production.
