Missy Flynn - Parisian Nightmares, Making The Martini Sexy Again & Who Won The Inagural 'Gak Off'?

from The Go To Weekend

Welcome back to The Go-To Weekend, your ultimate guide to making the most of your days off. Hosted by Sunday Times deputy food editor Hannah Evans and Foodism deputy editor Molly Codyre, we’re here delivering the hottest tips on where to go, what to eat, and what not to miss this weekend.This week we cover everything from foodie weekends in Marseille to space tourism. Whilst Hannah’s has become obsessed with a niche food industry meme account, we also somehow segue into the surreal journey to space of Katy Perry, Gayle King, and Jeff Bezos himself (spoiler: it’s not the feminist milestone it claims to be). There’s also a deep dive into the emotional chaos of cutting down a 400-year-old oak tree for a Toby Carvery car park.More exciting than all of that though, this week we’re joined by everyones favourite cocktail superstar Missy Flynn, bartender, restaurateur, and co-founder of Rita’s. She talks about hosting Harry Styles’ 18th birthday, how she mastered the world of mescal and tequila behind the bar at Crazy Homies, and the chaotic joy of restaurant pop-ups in Paris, LA, and NYC. She also shares her favourite London hangouts—from date nights at 40 Maltby Street to taking in the latest shows at 180 The Strand and her love for late-night noodles at Lanzhou.With all that plus our TV picks for your Sunday sofa sesh, an Easter egg shopping PSA, and the mystery of where Keanu Reeves recently had lunch, it looks like we’re in for a hell of a weekend with a generous pour of martini on the side.----------------Celebrate your cocktails with a taste of Hepple - Buy Here - https://hepplespirits.com/collections/shop Hosted on Acast.
