Crying in the Walk-in is based in Seattle, WA and is hosted by two long time pals, Sam and Ky, talking about the restaurant industry through a queer, non-binary, and POC lens. Catch us chatting about workplace gossip, guest interactions, bar education, and more!
Join us as we chat with Ahmed Suliman (nicknamed Suli), the owner of Cafe Suliman in the Melrose Market in Capitol Hill, Seattle. This episode we covered a lot of ground, between bar ownership, sustainability, hospitality, and of course, the most important thing -- our responsibility as good citizens of the world to use our voices to advocate for those on the margins.
You know us, we love to laugh and be crazy on the pod, but while there's plenty of that in this episode, we’ve got more of a serious one this week. We have a responsibility to make our stance very very clear if we haven’t done so enough already: we stand with ALL oppressed nations and peoples, and we will use our voices, privileges, and resources to bring attention to where it is needed as much as we can.
Fuck this colonialist capitalistic hellscape — hug your friends, invest in your community, care for your neighbors, lend a hand, donate; do something, do anything.
WE ARE NOT FREE UNTIL ALL ARE FREE.

Read a Book | S2 E8 with Erik Flatten
Bar decor, music, hobbies, the importance of regulars and home town bars… this episode has a little of everything! In this episode Sam chats with Erik Flatten, one of the owners of Black Cat, our favorite neighborhood bar! This one’s a good one if you’re feeling like a good chat with a friend, or if you just finished our Mind Eraser episode and need something a little less… insane? 😅
Thank you Erik for coming on the pod!
