They all have had fun times with Dale including one night when Dale had to give the bartenders at a new NYC hotspot a cocktail recipe. Pete: You're writing out the recipe on the back of a napkin to send to the bartenders to go and make us around. To this day still, it was the most baller move I've ever seen to be in the hot new restaurant writing out the recipe. This is what we'd like to drink, thank you very much.Francis: I wanna make a public service announcement to all dining customers. If you are not Dale Degroff, don't do that. Dale: And by the way, this explains why nobody knows where these famous drinks came from with a few minor exceptions because they wrote 'em down on a cocktail napkin and stuck them in their pocket. Later on in the evening they pulled it out, blew their nose on it and threw it away.Dale DeGroff & Peter Thomas Fornatale on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2025InfoPete’s podcasthttps://inthemoneypodcast.com/category/players-podcast/Pete’s bookBrooklyn Spirits: Craft Distilling and Cocktails from the World's Hippest BoroughBy Peter Thomas Fornatale & Chris WertzChris MacMillan mint julep videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJV-O1e10z8&t=358sWe're bringing our kitchen to the farm!Join us at Dreyer Farms in Cranford, NJ for a Table-to-Farm Dinner.Sunday, September 13 @ 5:30https://www.stageleft.com/event/91326-table-to-farm-dinner/Our PlacesStage Left Steakhttps://www.stageleft.com/Catherine Lombardi Restauranthttps://www.catherinelombardi.com/Stage Left Wineshophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/Reach Out to The [email protected]
