S2 | E1: Hot Takes & Hors D’oeuvres: Wedding Catering Unfiltered

Ever wonder what really goes down in wedding catering? In this episode, I sit down with Jacob, the owner of Broken Bowl Catering, to talk about everything from bridezilla requests to burnt-out weekends. We cover the highs, the hustle, and the heart behind feeding hundreds of guests while keeping your cool (and your family life intact). Jacob shares real stories from the kitchen, how social media messes with expectations, and what couples really need to know before booking a caterer. Spoiler: communication is everything. Whether you're a bride, groom, vendor, or just love a good behind-the-scenes moment—this conversation is slow-cooked to perfection: tender, real, and a little salty.
