Why Big Ed Believes Online Review Trolls Are Killing The Service Industry.

Every drink has a story, and this week, we’re pouring the truth straight—no chaser! 🥃✨We are officially kicking off our summer series and taking the podcast out to the iconic Hamptons! In this episode of Bartender Bangazs, host Mark the Shark sits down at The Whale's Tale in Southampton with one of the mastermind owners, Sosh Andriano, along with reality TV legend Big Ed from 90 Day Fiancé! Sosh breaks down his wild introduction to the restaurant industry at 8 years old (involving a 120-degree shark suit and a lot of ice bin chaos) , pulling off a massive half-million-dollar restaurant build in just 7 weeks , and how the entire hospitality business has completely shifted toward media and entertainment since the pandemic. Plus, Big Ed pulls back the curtain on why he packed up and moved out to Long Island to live in Sosh’s basement —and why Sosh's wife threw both of them out of the house after a wild trip back from the city! From sleeping with bunnies to shooting their brand-new show pilot "Big Ed in the Basement" , launching Big Ed Malbec wine , and debating the great canned cocktail phenomenon —this episode is absolute, unadulterated chaos. You don’t want to miss this one. Hit that subscribe button, crack a drink, and come hang out in the Hamptons with us! 🌊☀️
