This week's episode of the show features Jay Kahn, the co-founder of Coa in Hong Kong — which was recently named Asia's Best Bar for 2021. Coa is a bar where the spirits of Mexico take the spotlight and are showcased for Hong Kong's most discerning cocktail drinkers. But it's not just Tequila and Oaxacan mezcal that are being highlighted, but also more obscure spirits, such as sotol, bacanora and raicilla. So tune in and listen in, as Kahn shares his insights on what it takes to run a cocktail bar that is so highly specialized in one nation's spirits and also what goes into creating a world class bar. ______________________ Join us every Monday as acclaimed bartender, Erick Castro, interviews some of the bar industry's top talents from around the world, including bartenders, distillers & authors.

For this episode of the show, we are joined by author and the owner of the acclaimed DC cocktail bar, the Columbia Room, Derek Brown.

For this episode of the show, we decided to explore the ever changing dynamics of management systems. Much of what makes a business successful — and keeps it successful— is being in touch with the numbers, while still keeping in sync with your team. To help us better understand this aspect of the industry, we are joined by Jason Williams, creative director for Proof & Company, and director at Housemade Hospitality. Williams is a man who oversees a multitude of properties in different countries and even on different continents. Overseeing so many bars is only possible through the use of disciplined systems and communication, so this episode is particularly crucial to those hoping to become a better & more effective leader to their team. ______________________ Join us every Monday as acclaimed bartender, Erick Castro, interviews some of the bar industry's top talents from around the world, including bartenders, distillers & authors.

With the hottest months of the year upon us, we thought what better time is there to get schooled on the fundamentals of boozy slushies. Entering this area of cocktails can stump even the most talented of bartenders, as the skill set that covers making individual cocktails doesn't always translate to drinks coming out of a slushy machine. So to better illuminate the topic, we are joined by Christy Colestock, the area director for the Mother's Ruin bars. The Mother's Ruin bars have been featuring rotating slushies for nearly 10 years, so Christy knows what it takes to create slushies that sell! So listen in as she walks us through the basics of everything from how to what equipment you need to get started. ______________________ Join us every Monday as acclaimed bartender, Erick Castro, interviews some of the bar industry's top talents from around the world, including bartenders, distillers & authors.

From looking on social media and the food press it would seem that guests are eager for high-quality ingredients prepared by well paid workers in a healthy work environment, but what does this really? Are people prepared to a bit more for these things? Why do we not mind paying $14 for a cocktail, but balk at a $12 dollar sandwich? And what if cheap food is coming at the expense of the people making it? To help us explore this topic, we are joined by star chef, Richie Nakano, who inspired us to delve into the subject. ______________________ Join us every Monday as acclaimed bartender, Erick Castro, interviews some of the bar industry's top talents from around the world, including bartenders, distillers & authors.

In can often be difficult to stick up for yourself & your coworkers when you find yourself in a toxic and abusive work environment. But what do you do when the abuser is a renowned celebrity chef such as David Chang of Momufuku fame. In situations such as this, it can be extremely difficult, as the power dynamics can be so lopsided, both in power & resources. This is only magnified by things such as media access and the proliferation of non-disclosure agreements. To help shed some light on this pertinent topic, we are joined by Hannah Selinger -- acclaimed writer, certified sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers and graduate of the International Culinary Center -- who not only worked with Chang, but was brave enough to share her story by coming forward. ______________________ Join us every Monday as acclaimed bartender, Erick Castro, interviews some of the bar industry's top talents from around the world, including bartenders, distillers & authors.
