Hi. We’re Kelly Sullivan and Lillian Devane. We host a weekly food service podcast called FOH, that exists somewhere in the intersection of food, labor issues, and dumb jokes.
Here’s what some of our shows sound like.
Episode 74 - Chris Farley is Tiny
Lillian tells us about a nightmare customer (not the first, not the last) from early pandemic days.
Episode 92 - Six Years, No Regrets
Lillian deals with a customer who insists she’s “not high maintenance.” Spoiler alert: she is.
Episode 102 - Tomfoolery
Kelly and Lillian get into the Gabrielle Hamilton of it all, and all the many problems with her NYT piece from April 2020.
Here are some of our numbers.

A tale as old as time…
A server and a bartender… A few long nights of shift drinks… The inevitable passionate union occurs… They start a podcast!!
We forged our friendship within the universe of this podcast, discussing work, and life, history, politics, and our many foibles. Sure, we worked part-time in a restaurant - but in too many ways, that work defined our lives. Then of course, COVID happened and now we are more tenuously employed and even more tenuously gripping reality. Unemployed even! Join us on our journey.
Meet Kelly
29 y/o virgo, sag rising from Chicago. Both her parents are left-handed and she has been jealous of that her whole life. She enjoys service and baking, and while possessing certain gifts for both, they both inevitably end in grief and ruination.
“Loyal listeners won’t be surprised to hear that I mouthed off and fucked myself.”
“I will kill one butterball call line operator on the hour until I see Bruce Willis’ hot ass.”
Meet Lillian.
Former failed stand-up comedian, Floridian, fully medicated. Loves dive bars, true eccentrics, disgusting tiny little shops, and the possibility of ghosts.
