After giving a special “shout out to everyone” at FX, Hulu and Disney, Boyce expressed his gratitude for real-life restaurant workers. “[I] also just want to say, most importantly, thank you to the entire restaurant community,” he said.
“You know, we play these characters for a couple of hours a day for a couple of months out of the year. But this is y’all’s reality, the highs and the lows,” he added. “So thank you for embracing us while we tell the story.”
