Lend an ear to this jovial, inquisitive and scholarly journalist who shares his thoughts on:
How The Daily Beast, Imbibe and Garden & Gun have different editorial points of view and audiences.
How his stories often come about by posing the simple question, “Why do you do something in the way you do?”
How rum continues to fascinate him, from its history to its politics to its vast spectrum of flavor profiles.
Why he believes cocktail books written by bars are a snapshot of our times and provide an important historical record.
Why he thinks Sazerac Company’s Mark Brown, one of the brightest people in the industry and the author of an indispensable e-newsletter, is bringing hospitality forward.
