Getting TAT at It

Paddy K and I just recorded episode 8 of the Trans-Atlantic Throwdown . I'll hopefully have it up this week for your listening ears. Thanks for your patience as I've adjusted to moving and getting settled in here. We promise it'll be more frequent in the future! Rock on. I am Frank Chow and I approved this message

Aviary Opens

The Aviary , brainchild of Grant Achatz, opened to the fanfare you'd expect. Above a video on their approach to a Gin & Tonic using Junipero Gin . I am Frank Chow and I approved this message

Damrak

Enjoying some Damrak Gin at the moment. I've passed by it many times at the liquor store, but always picked something else for whatever reason. This gin is a winner solely because of the bottle: It's beautiful and quite functional. I'm sure the fiance will have me keep it around perhaps to use it to serve water. I decided to go by a recommendation here and have it first in a Gimlet . It's refreshing, but doesn't give me a good sense of the gin itself. From what I've gathered after a tasting, it's light and leans more to the London Dry gin family. Martini will be next...or on the rock depending on how sassy I feel.
