Now that craft cocktails are becoming more and mor ubiquitous, I feel like I am encountering more & more “good cocktails,” but less & less great ones.

Sotol is not an agave spirit. Sotol is not an agave spirit. Sotol is not an agave spirit. Sotol is not an agave spirit. Sotol is not an agave spirit. Sotol is not an agave spirit. Sotol is not an agave spirit. Sotol is not an agave spirit. Sotol is not an agave spirit. And so on.
What are your weekend plans? We’ve for the local distillery with a new craft cordial here and a #negroni has never done me wrong.
I don’t post here enough anymore, but here is the #friedchicken lunch special from @samstaproom - it has an almost cult following for a reason:
It’s been a little while since I posted here so a quick look at the HAM Italian beef, @BigO_Midtown chicken sandwich, Camp Taco birria, and Cypress Social chocolate cake
A well deserved treat dining at Bar Cleeta in Bentonville last night. A spectacular wine list (bikicki traminer) and the best octopus I’ve had in a decade. Everything was intentional and beautifully balanced.
The @blvdbreadco porchetta remains one of my all time favorite sandwiches even so many years later. Masked employees & distanced tables to boot.

Trying to make a Doe’s Chilli Dog at home. I think they bake the entire hot dog in bun then add chili. Opinions? @SouthernAshBlog

Fascinating, but in retrospect obvious, cocktail experiment results:
When making a Martini with N/A gin (real vermouth) you cannot stir it to as cold a temp as with real gin.
With LONG stir, got the low-alcohol “Martini” to 31.2 F.
In half the time, real got to 25.8 F

Opening a new spot in the midst of pandemic? Ups the difficulty but Brood & Barley is showing food, beers, and cocktails that can shine in any year or environment.
