Leticia kicks things off by sitting down with one of her best friends, Samantha, for a no-filter conversation over drinks. From debating why lobster rolls cost so much to swapping hilarious restaurant pet peeves, the two dive deep into the real stories and secrets behind working in hospitality. Along the way, they reminisce about living abroad in Spain, share cocktail confessions, talk girl math and claw machine addictions, and reveal what it’s really like balancing work, friendships, and life in the restaurant industry.
