We take a trip to Carousel Bar for Vieux Carre. Patreon

Sometimes life seems to move in a circle taking its passengers from where they started, to other destinations and then back again. Some of the literary figures who were regulars at the historic Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans' French Quarter – like Truman Capote and Tennessee Williams – might have experienced that in their journeys for discovery, or maybe they were just enjoying a great cocktail at an unforgettable bar. Customers at the Hotel Monteleone's Carousel Bar have now been able to explore the circle of life for 75 years. The namesake libation lounge has reached a significant anniversary while still powered by a one-fourth-horsepower motor that enables a full turn every 15 minutes. Beverage Manager and historian for the hotel, Marvin Allen joins Louisiana Life Executive Editor Errol Laborde, along with Producer Kelly Massicot, to talk about the bar and its signature cocktails including the Vieux Carre, which was created to reflect the culture of New Orleans. How so? Join the ride to find out.

Episode Description: As a reminder you can watch this show as well at: http://www.YouTube.com/milestomemories This week the Culinary Union started putting pressure on the Strip casinos with mass protests ahead of many upcoming big events in the city. With construction for F1 in full swing it is putting even more pressure on the tourist experience which isn't spectacular right now. Will a strike happen or can they get this resolved. In other news we learned that there is a possibility F1 may not come back, but it's probably not likely given the current three year contract in place. We also discuss Tropicana slowly shutting down, Awakening at Wynn struggling and how the Sphere may have a massive UFC event. We also review all of the expansions at Plaza in Downtown Las Vegas including Oscar's Steakhouse patio, the Carousel Bar and more!

Jonathan and Gary review the big events of the past couple of weeks at the Plaza downtown - none bigger than U2 playing a popup show on Main Street right in front of the Plaza. The group shot a new video that's part of its new show inside The Sphere. John Katsolimetes, aka Johnny Kats of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, describes getting word of the show and following leads all over downtown before the band rolled up on a flatbed truck in front of the Carousel Bar. Kats also talks about The Sphere experience, his career path to page A3 of the R-J every day (and online all the time), his new podcast series with Oscar Goodman, and advice for young people getting into any business.    Hosts: Jonathan Jossel, Gary Vickery  

In this bonus episode, we dive into the life of a casino host. Nicole Osborne and Ashley McKenzie share their stories, and their journeys to the job. We also catch up with Esme Gonzalez, Director of Casino Marketing. And Jonathan shares the story of how the showgirl outside the Carousel Bar is now named "Ginger." 

Michelle Mashon from Bon Moment Tours in New Orleans tells Brent about a cocktail museum, a restaurant built on an old chicken coup, and the best neighborhoods for live music.

It's only been a few weeks since Pinkbox Donuts opened at The Plaza, next to the Carousel Bar. But the lines are nearly always out the door, as Fremont St. fans grab a sweet snack. Pinkbox is owned by the Siegel Group, and Jonathan sits down with Executive Vice President Judith Siegel and Chief Business Officer Michael Crandall. The two share the company's progress in property management over more than 20 years. And we hear about Bagelmania, the modest strip mall joint that's now a major oasis for hungry conventions goers. 

It's been a great few weeks at the Plaza, as the reimagining of Main Street is nearing completion. The Carousel Bar is open, and the new non-smoking, video-friendly casino is open! Jonathan, Lisa and Gary discuss, and preview things still to come. But it's also a bittersweet episode as the brains behind this podcast, Lisa Melmed, is leaving. Listen to learn the details!   Hosts: Jonathan Jossel, Lisa Melmed, Gary Vickery.

Episode Description: As a reminder you can watch this show as well at: http://www.YouTube.com/milestomemories Progress continues in Las Vegas as Downtown gets some toys in the form of a carousel bar, non smoking casino and more at Plaza. How does the experience look and is this enough to draw people away from Fremont Street. In other news MGM just recently purchased a property for $54 million right next to Bellagio and Cosmo. What will they do with it? We also discuss the return of Celine Dion, the closure of Planet Hollywood after 29 years, a POV of the Vegas F1 race, Strat walking back their paid parking sort of and the full details of the deal the A's made with Nevada's governor for stadium financing.

With fireworks, streamers, showgirls and doughnuts, Plaza has kicked off huge improvements that will help fulfill its goal to reimagine Main Street. In this episode you'll hear Jonathan describe four big projects: The Carousel Bar in what's now the porte-cochere, a new branch of Pink Box Donuts that opens right onto Main St., an expansion of Oscar's Steakhouse that will bring the first outdoor fine dining to a downtown casino -- and a new social media - friendly, smoke-free, separate entrance to the Brian Christopher Slots at Plaza Area! For all the deep details, you'll just have to listen!   Hosts: Jonathan Jossel, Lisa Melmed

I must stop talking about the cabbage. I won't shut up about it. So I figured if I brought chef William Eick to talk me through it, it will resolve my lingering emotional fixation on what is one of the best dishes I've eaten in a very long time. Eick opened Matsu about six months ago. It's a minimalist ode to modern Japanese cuisine. He's been a talent in San Diego for a long time, and this is the big idea, what he's been working for. In a spare room in Oceanside, where the “biggest” design element seems to be a single white orchid on a bar top, he's serving 8- and 10-course tasting menus. And the cabbage is the shocker. “I've been obsessed with Japanese culture since I was five years old,” says Eick. “Everything about it. A modern Japanese restaurant with a tasting menu, there are probably only a handful in the country that I can think of.” For this episode, Eick walks us through some of the magic tricks that make Matsu stand out. For instance, he creates various dashis (Japanese broth, a cornerstone of the cuisine) like the one in his crab dish that is made with carrots and A5 Wagyu beef trimmings. We talk about how Japanese cooks and chefs have been masters at discovering new levels of flavor (the concept of “umami” is Japanese). And William gives us a primer on koji, the incredible Japanese marinade that makes his duck breast vastly more interesting. Gives it a good funk. In “Hot Plates,” we talk about the San Clemente icon Nick's going into the former International Smoke location at One Paseo. The owners of Madison are opening an all-day brunch spot in Normal Heights called Madi. Wolfie's Carousel Bar (if you're not familiar, you need to check this out) has hired a new chef, formerly of Coronado's excellent Little Frenchie. And renown Japanese fried chicken chain, Tenkatori, is opening in San Diego. For “Two People, Fifty Bucks,” I rave about the chilaquiles at Cocina 35, and whether or not it's OK to call them breakfast nachos (a term told to me by a great Mexican chef, but which some food purists get very, very angry about and defend chilaquiles' honor). David can think of nothing but baseball (it's his cabbage), and points people to Mexican food classic Lolita's by Petco Park for game days (trivia: Lolita's is family of the legendary Roberto's). And William makes a regrettable decision to tell the world about his favorite ramen spot, which was a secret until right about now. Go, Padres. See ya next week.

Welcome back to the Happy Half Hour! We're recording this episode from a premier club suite at Petco Park, thanks to this week's sponsor, the San Diego Padres. Our special guest this week is Jaclyn Lash, the Padres' vice president of special events. She joined the team in 2011 and oversees all events for the Padres and Petco Park, including concerts, game-day festivals, private and special events, and gatherings for the team. Before joining the Padres, she was at Jimmy Kimmel Live!, coordinating guest appearances and booking musical artists. We had to ask what it's like to meet and work with celebrities regularly, and she shares some fun stories (one including Kanye West!). Jaclyn is here to tell us how they transform the ballpark into venues for everything from the Monster Energy Supercross to The Links at Petco Park, a nine-hole golf course; and about upcoming concerts such as the Hella Mega Tour on Aug. 29 with Green Day, Fall Out Boy, and Weezer. You can see a schedule of more upcoming concerts here. In Hot Plates, the owner of RakiRaki Ramen opened a new restaurant, Matsuoka Pure Sushi, specializing in temari sushi and kaiseki bento. Karina's, a local institution for Mexican seafood, returned to downtown with the opening of a new cantina. Chef Kaci Goff of Wolf and Woman (and a podcast alum!) launched a new monthly dinner series, Lucky Cricket, with Taylor Berk, sommelier at Puffer Malarkey Collective. The dinner features several courses of Malaysian-Tamil cuisine and wines produced by female winemakers. In Two People, $50, Jaclyn is excited about Wolfie's Carousel Bar in Little Italy, which Troy just got a First Look at. Troy recommends the El Xolito hot dog at Barrio Dogg (located in Barrio Logan and Petco Park), and I got the El Borracho fries from Grand Ole BBQ inside the park. David and Troy got seafood without me and went to South Beach Bar & Grille in Ocean Beach for fried oyster tacos. Thank you for listening! As always, we want to hear from our listeners.

Nicknamed the Grande Dame of New Orleans, this opulent hotel is known for its Carousel Bar and its location one block away from Bourbon Street. But it's also known for its spirits, and this doesn't just mean beverages. Here, “favorite haunt" takes on a different meaning.

Joey and Frankie talk with a couple of “Kiwis” on this international podcast. Carousel Bar is a high-end cocktail bar in Dunedin, New Zealand known for their delicious handcrafted drinks. We talk with the owners, John and Tess about “Kiwi” stereotypes, traveling abroad, and drinking preferences.

Cocktail of the Week The Vieux Carré is a wonderful cocktail that was invented at the Carousel Bar in the Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans around 1938. 1 oz Cognac 1 oz Rye Whiskey 1 oz Sweet Vermouth ¼ teaspoon (Bar Spoon) 2 dashes Peychaud's bitters 2 dashes Angostura bitters Its not traditional, but I add a bar spoon of Grand Marnier. It adds just a little extra complexity to the drink. Stir that up and serve it over ice in an Old Fashioned glass. Lemon twist. Even though this drink was originated in a hot place (New Orleans) its actually a great autumn cocktail. Ok let’s talk to Josh Davis and friends on the floor of the Brooklyn Expo Center. Always a pleasure hanging out with Josh. Josh is talking about starting his own podcast…how’s that coming Buddy?! Toast of the Week: "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life."  

It probably won't surprise you that people who distill, prepare and sell alcohol are generally cheery. But what is it about their job that puts them in such a good mood Some get to meet new faces every day, while others study the history of their profession, while even fewer teach the trade to apprentices. Whatever the case, they're all willing to share their knowledge with others and pursue a comprehensive understanding of their profession. Marvin Allen has tended bar at The Carousel Bar for twelve years and in that time he's watched the American cocktail enter the mainstream. Marvin has advice about mixing drinks and shares some stories about the lively characters of the French Quarter. We'll also speak with three men about their commitment to distilling quality spirits like boutique hibiscus liquor, extra strength gin, and even a multi million dollar Bourbon operation. We hope these spirited conversations will leave you informed and thirsty. The Last Call Serves 1 Ingredients 2 oz. Whiskey 1 oz. Sorel Directions Stir together with ice in an old fashioned glass. Sip it and dream.

Gaston Martinez of Milagro Tequila reveals a new product at the William Grant and Sons 1940’s party and Natalie learns about the Hotel Monteleone renovations that will take the famed Carousel Bar from great to magnificent!

The Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans has been an integral part of Tales of the Cocktail for the past seven years. At first a single day event hosted in the Carousel Bar featuring cocktail book authors, Tales of the Cocktail has grown into a multi-day, must attend event for spirit brands, industry professionals and cocktail enthusiasts that packs the hotel and four others. Of course, this is only a small part in the history of the hotel that continues to be operated by the fourth generation of the Monteleone family.
