Quarter (26/123)

  1. The Fried Catfish Poor Boy at the Flying Fish in Little Rock is absolutely amongst my favorite sandwiches. http://flyingfishinthe.net/LittleRock.php
  2. Raising a glass to the dearly departed Gary Coleman and Ronnie James Dio. One more Cosmo down the hatch!
  3. I note the usage of the word "project" by Mr. Wilson early in the article. I think about the people involved in Hummingbird to Mars. I think about the hours they work at their regular jobs (40+ per week is an understatement). With that in mind, it would certainly require a massive amount of passion in furthering their field to commit to a project that requires two more nights of difficult, detailed work. They set up guidelines to maintain the atmosphere and the ability to produce their cocktails at the high level of quality they require (not to create a nightclub-type exclusivity). So, it disturbs me greatly when I read Mr. Wilson's description of how he reacted to these guidelines. To be specific, it is the seeming mocking glee he embraces to dismiss them. As a member of this community, I'm delighted by the differences in opinion, style, concept, and taste that those interested in spirits and cocktails hold. It enriches our field, both in execution and enjoyment. The tone of the article, however, I find unacceptable. If you enjoy cocktails, if you look forward to a future with a lively cocktail scene in our metropolitan area, if you want DC to be able to attract more talent to such a scene, then you might be concerned about the Washington Post treating some of the area's most talented, passionate mixologists without respect. It shows that paper we circulate the most doesn't care for disagreement in cocktails, only to belittle it.
  4. Plymouth Noilly Prat Blanc Regan's Orange Bitters Rhum Neisson Blanc (I'm gonna go ahead & assume that I can bring limes & cane syrup. Cool?) Highland Park (any bottling, distillery or independent) Sazerac Rye (either age will do) Cazadores Reposado Carpano Antica Marcarini Barolo Chinato Angostura Bitters Peychaud Bitters My list goes to eleven.
  5. We're actually a ninja bar. The constant nautical references are deceptive, I know. Brunch does tend to get crowded. We open at eleven. Occasionally, it's busy at opening. However, it usually takes about an hour.
  6. Antonio did work here. However, he was not the chef. Justin has held that position for the past year.
  7. i've heard that merchant du vin will no longer be importing rochefort, there by adding to availability issues.
  8. barmy's in farragut north has a decent stock of the whiskey-barrel aged bitters. they're more expensive than 12.99 though. that being said, barmy's is the place to hit up during the "seven lean years" of whiskey bitters availability.
  9. Ah, Highland Park. No matter the bottling, distillery or independent, it always hits.
