An original founder of Two Schmucks in Barcelona, Aljaff and former Two Schmucks bar manager Larrouy join us for this episode to talk about Schmuck’s origin story, their mission to translate a European culinary approach to a New York City cocktail bar, and how the bar and its menu are extensions of their personalities.Radio Imbibe is the audio home of Imbibe magazine.
