| 10/22/26 | Dream Jobs...Aren't What You Think | Dave serves a classic kitchen "family meal" of chicken and a salad that you can easily make at home. He and Chris Ying talk about whether people should be hoping for a dream job at all, as well as what is important in a career. They talk to guests at the counter about their jobs, the willingness to fail and switch paths, and why the dream job may be a myth.
