The Wall Street Journal reports on how synthetic meat grown in factories may change the ethics of eating, though critics express concerns about its health effects. The hosts share their personal Christmas meal plans, including a three-rib roast and a ham sourced from specialty meat providers.
Millennial Job Interviews, Austin Restaurant Hiring
A local Austin restaurant manager reported that every millennial job applicant she interviewed admitted they "didn't care" and were only there for the money. The hosts discuss the lack of basic interview skills and professionalism among younger job seekers.
The concept of "freeganism"—the practice of reclaiming and eating discarded food—is debated. The hosts criticize wealthy individuals, including a university professor, who participate in the movement as a lifestyle choice. They argue that this practice potentially deprives truly impoverished people of necessary resources.
A negative experience at Monterey Foods involving a slow and "grumpy" employee serves as a counterpoint to the discussion on good service. The hosts conclude that while you should compliment good workers, it is often futile to criticize those who "suck," as incompetence is widespread. This leads into a transition toward future segments on food and restaurant reviews.
