Food service staff encounter all manner of crazy things while serving the masses. I’m sure many managers and wait staff have thought a restaurant would be a great setting for some entertaining television. Now it is!
Web series “Front of House” is a hilarious window into the lives of a few people working hard (or not so hard) in a classy eating establishment while chasing their respective dreams. The series was funded through Kickstarter, and their first episode is available.

The show features some adult themes and language, so viewer discretion is advised.
