This week, we're joined by Chicago hospitality veteran Mike Boschert, whose career has taken him from rookie back waiter mishaps in Columbia, Missouri, to the openings of some of Chicago’s most beloved spots, and now to his role overseeing operations at the historic Medinah Country Club. Along the way, he’s built a career around relentless preparation, gracious hospitality, and the belief that mistakes are opportunities to teach rather than reasons to lose your cool. A longtime friend and former colleague of Danny’s, Mike joins us to reminisce and reflect on the people, places, and hard-earned lessons that shaped his approach to service. We chat about the wild early days of Bavette’s and the Doughnut Vault, preparing Medinah for the 2026 Presidents Cup, White Castle, and as always, so much more.
