The Banter
The Guys recall a very special cocktail they made prior to bartending…and they didn’t use a punch bowl.
The Conversation
The Restaurant Guys host world-changing cocktailian Dale DeGroff who walks us through the history of the cocktail in America. The episode ends with suggestions for cocktails using Dale’s amaro and a toast with old friends.
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. Not convinced, The Guys went to The Rainbow Room, where they were schooled by the King of Cocktails himself. They left convinced.
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 fast friends and collaborators all these decades! All hail The King!
