Phoebe Damrosch, Service Included

The Banter

The Guys discuss methods of popping corn and health benefits of doing it the old-fashioned way. 

The Conversation

The Restaurant Guys sit down with Phoebe Damrosch, first female captain at Per Se and author of Service Included: Four-Star Secrets of an Eavesdropping Waiter. Phoebe shares service tips and intel gathered from the art of observing the guests. She broke barriers and fell in love. Listen!

The Inside Track

The Guys had the pleasure of serving Phoebe and her husband André Mack at their restaurant. This is how Phoebe justifies the expense of dining out at top tier restaurants.

 ”It's an expensive meal, but I think of it more as travel or entertainment. Like, you'd buy a plane ticket or you'd buy an expensive concert ticket. It's an experience. You're paying for a memory and not just for calories,” Phoebe Damrosch on The Restaurant Guys 2007
