This is a Library Selection from 2005 The Banter The Guys share a New York Times restaurant review that panned a theme restaurant called Ninja New York. Check out the link in the notes to see how long it lasted. The Conversation The Restaurant Guys welcome old friend Dale DeGroff, King Cocktail, to discuss his work with the Museum of the American Cocktail and the history of cocktail resurgence around the world.

The Inside Track The Guys met Dale at an informal lunch group called The Red Meat Club back in 1993 where Dale claimed that cocktails can be just as complex and interesting as wine.

Dale helped them create New Jersey's first craft-cocktail program at Stage Left Steak and inaugurated it with a Degroff Cocktail Dinner there in 1994! The cocktail program there is now the oldest craft-cocktail program in America. The King and The Guys have remained good friends and collaborators all these decades! All hail The King! Bio Dale DeGroff is the author of best-selling cocktail books: The Essential Cocktail, winner of the 2009 Tales of the Cocktail Spirit Award for Best New Cocktail/Bartending Book, and The Craft of the Cocktail and its revision The New Craft of the Cocktail Book which is the best-selling cocktail book of all time!

He popularised a number of things including the use of fresh juice and garnishes, the Cosmopolitan as we know it today and even named the Nick and Nora glass. Dale has received numerous awards, trained many of today's greats and authored bestselling cocktail books - including The Craft of The Cocktail. He's the founding President of The Museum of the American Cocktail, serves as a consultant for Holland America Line and continues to entertain audiences with lively presentations on TV and stage worldwide. Recorded inside the world's first standalone Grey Goose bar at Crown Melbourne, Le Martini. Officially open, the venue offers a range of martinis designed by Dale.

On this week's show, Louisiana Eats looks at the place where the law intersects with food and drink. The topic's not as dry as you might expect—especially when it comes to liquor and law! We begin with attorney Philip Greene. By day, he serves as Trademark and Internet Counsel for the U.S. Marine Corps, based in the Pentagon. Philip's probably better known, however, as a cocktail enthusiast and historian. He’s a founding member of the Museum of the American Cocktail and has written several books on the the high-proof drink. We discuss intellectual property with Philip, and the different forms that businesses have used to protect their brands. Dylan Lintern, President and COO of NOLA Brewing, joins us next. He tells us a harrowing tale of legal troubles so big that Godzilla himself played a major role. The litigious experience was the inspiration behind the name of the brewery's award-winning Hoppyright Infringement IIPA. Then, we hear from our resident food lawyer, founder of the Southern Food and Beverage Museum, Liz Williams. Liz demystifies just what life as a food lawyer might entail and discusses her personal experience with this growing legal specialty. Finally, we speak with environmental chemist turned absinthe distiller from New Orleans, Ted Breaux, who explains his pivotal role in the legalization of absinthe in the United States by challenging misconceptions with scientific evidence and a dogged perseverance.

It's July 4. We're celebrating our nation's independence and purposefully putting aside our serious civic discussions. Today, we want to relax, enjoy family and friends and celebrate. And since much of America enjoys mixing that celebration with a fine adult beverage or two, we thought we would once again turn to our local experts cocktails and beers, Seth Allen and Nigel Woodbury. Seth, the owner of Libations & Co., is an amateur historian, avid reader and darn good bartender (despite his lack of a tuxedo.) Nigel is, as proclaimed by hosts Nick Parker and Jason Norbury, the ambassador of downtown Lee's Summit night life. Join us this week for a discussion on the state of the great American cocktail and a look at our favorite summer beverages.
On this episode, Philip Dobard, the director of The Museum of the American Cocktail, chats about pirates, prog rock, & a proper stirred aromatic drink. Check out his Spotify playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/user/shebmo/playlist/6u7XWrbXiKG2Qdr0WO6Zoc?si=0TJga3EURBiJlytzSnmYWw

As we gear up for the summer and Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 2, this week the guys get together to talk Guardians Vol. 1 and Marvel Phase 3. In this episode of Potent Pictures, the guys talk who's the best wrestler turned actor, Peter learns that Nick Offerman has acted sans facial hair, Google is in fact his friend, and Sean discusses the Sazerac as a classic American Cocktail. Also, we get into our thoughts with how Guardians of the Galaxy prepared us for Marvel Phase 3 and where our expectations are for Vol. 2.
Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
Incredibly enough on precisely the second occasion that humans ever flew, they went up drinking. It was December 1, 1783, and as a crowd containing King Louis XVI of France and Benjamin Franklin watched, the physicist Jacques Charles handed his fellow aeronaut Nicholas-Louis Robert a glass just a moment before liftoff. As the ropes were let go and the balloon began to rise, Charles popped the cork on a bottle of Champagne, filled their glasses, and together they toasted the crowd and the miracle of flight. That had a certain quality of...savoir faire. Style. Panache. And in fact the food eaten aloft after that second flight abounded with style, panache, savoir faire, and oftentimes savor as well. It was often–no, typically–eaten in tremendous quantities. Nice groceries, and lots of them: that could have been the motto of eating in the air. Needless to say, when most of us travel this summer, that won't be the motto of our airline's dining service. We feel very fortunate to get peanuts and a soda. So what exactly happened? My guest, Richard Foss, has written the first-ever book devoted to the history of eating in the air and space (appropriately enough titled Food in the Air and Space: The Surprising History of Food and Drink in the Skies.) He's eminently qualified to do so, having authored many articles on culinary history. Additionally he's the California Curator of the Museum of the American Cocktail, and the author of Rum: A Global History. (He's also curated and introduced the links below.) Bon voyage!

It's all about the cocktail with guest Philip Dobard, Vice President SoFAB Institute and the Director of The Museum of the American Cocktail.

Dale is most famous for having worked and managed the bars at New York’s famous Rainbow Room. Dale was awarded the James Beard Wine & Spirits Professional Award in 2009, and the The Best Bar Mentor at Tales of the Cocktail 2010. He is a partner of Beverage Alcohol Resource (BAR), a partnership of six of the world’s leading spirits and cocktails authorities who provide training and credentialing in distilled spirits and mixology. Dale is also the founding president of The Museum of the American Cocktail in New Orleans. Dale’s most recent endeavor is his new Pimento Aromatic Bitters, a product he developed with renowned absinthe distiller Ted Breaux. Tune in for a lively discussion with Dale and host Joe Campanale on today’s episode of In the Drink “The art and craft of creating really good tasting drinks for in excess of 300 people over and over several hundred times a day has really been mastered.” [03:00] “It’s challenging for young distillers to find ways to bring production costs down but I’m sure that will happen. if you look at the great spirits of the world – they’re available in the marketplace for a third of what these artisanal spirits are sold for.” [29:00] “There are five basic sauces in the culinary world and we have our 5 basic sauces for the bar world too.” [33:00] –Dale DeGroff on In the Drink
Despite Louisiana's scorching temperatures in July, thousands of visitors beat a path to New Orleans in search of a cold cocktail at the annual Tales of the Cocktail event. On this week's show we'll hear from the founder of the conference, get a dose of history from the King of Cocktails, and hear how a smear campaign kept absinthe out of our liquor cabinets for 100 years. Break out the ice, the bar's open on this week's Louisiana Eats Ramos Gin Fizz This New Orleans classic was invented in the 1880s by Henry C. Ramos. Original instructions dictated that it be shaken for a good 12 minutes, requiring a bit of a bartender relay. The drink lives on today in bars around the world minus the marathon shaking time. 1 1 2 oz. gin 1 Tbsp. simple syrup 1 1 1 2 oz. fresh lemon juice 1 2 oz. fresh lime juice 1 fresh egg white pasteurized if you like 1 oz. heavy cream 3 drops orange flower water 1 oz. club soda, chilled Tools shaker, strainer Glass highball Combine first seven ingredients in a shaker without ice and shake vigorously to combine. Add ice to the shaker and shake again for at least a couple of minutes more if you have it in you . Strain into a glass, top with club soda and stir.
We're just a week or so away from a week that may make Derby Week look almost boring in Louisville...the combination of Ryder Cup week and Kentucky Bourbon Festival Week! Knob Creek Whiskey Professor and Louisville native Bernie Lubbers gives us some ideas of how to spend time in Louisville when you're in the area to visit the bourbon distilleries. In the news...an update from New Orleans and our friends at the Museum of the American Cocktail after Hurricane Gustav.
Three years ago this weekend, New Orleans and much of the Gulf Coast were in ruins after Hurricane Katrina. It's only been in the last couple of months that The Museum of the American Cocktail was able to return to its home in New Orleans, just in time for the arrival of Hurricane Gustav. Museum co-founder Dale DeGroff brings us up to date on the Museum's journey to Las Vegas and back home over the past three years, along with an update on New Orleans's reconstruction. Of course, we couldn't let this master mixologist get away without his favorite cocktail recipe...and he'll share his method for the perfect Sazerac.
