So, I hear you like metaphors. Well good. It just so happens that we have one for you. I guess you could call Greasy Spoon Productions a kitchen.
A kitchen where fresh ideas are turned into the written word by sweaty, foul-smelling short order cooks. A kitchen where the written word is in turn served to others who in turn, turn those words into great television.
We like to laugh when we watch TV, so our menu reflects that sensibility. Season that with a light peppering of the whimsical and fantastical and we’re guessing that you are starting to feel where it counts… in your mouth.
You want more? Well open up. This is gonna taste some good.
Now, here’s a little bit on what we’ve done that has lead us to lick from the greasy spoon.
