Show Notes
The World’s 50 Best Bars is a big deal. Held each year in October since 2009, when a bar lands on the list it can change their fortunes: they get more press coverage, they receive more trade, and they find it easier to hire good staff.
But it’s also something of a lightning rod for criticism.
So in this episode, I talk to mark Sansom, content director for 50 Best Bars, and we address some of the criticisms, what it takes to put on an awards show of this magnitude, and loads more.
