We are covering common words that don't always mean what you think they do. From shelled peanuts (does that mean with or without the shell?) to pitted olives, boneless vs. deboned chicken, and even garnished dishes, we're clearing up the confusion with a little humor and some insider restaurant knowledge.Follow Me On:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/themodernwaiterpodcast/Tiktokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@themodernwaiterMore Info https://www.themodernwaiter.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
