#30 - Luis Del Pozo Builds Out His New Bar

First. In-Person. Episode.Yes, you read that correctly - Episode 30 marks the first time that The Best Ceats Podcast was recorded in person. I've had a lot of chefs and various other professions on recently, all of whom I'm very humbled to have interviewed. I missed bartenders though and needed a solid cocktail chat, which is why I was so excited to head back to Mayfield in San Juan Capistrano to chat with the new Bar Manager, Luis Del Pozo, also known as Bow Tie LuisHe is one of the best in the area, and gives a great insight into what it's like to build out a bar program, how he selects spirits, and also why agave spirits are so mistreated. This interview also comes with information on a cool party trick you can use on friends to see if your tequila to mezcal of choice is chalked full of glycerine or not - I'm not joking.The Best Ceats Podcast brings unprecedented access to the Orange County hospitality industry each and every episode.
