S4 Ep 37: Ben Hopkins; Bar/cocktail trends & IDFWT

Ben Hokins-Prager is one of the most important industry folk behind the bar in NYC and they join us in the sass seat for a very bitchy episode. We run through our Season 2 "I  DON'T F%CK WITH THAT" answers from ourselves and our guests. We also pick Ben's "neuro spicy brain" on cocktail trends they want to die, how a cocktail should be a self containing universe and their hatred of off season decor. Grab the milk, Taste Buds, we got a buncha spicy takes.  Mentions: @benhopkinsbenhopkins @twinkletongue @pdtnyc @monkeythiefbar @dukesliquorbox @cookingissues @barcontranyc @drinkveso @tarbyparty @dan_the_a @carnemare @mozzy_sticks_87 @themulberrybar @hilotnyc @agiscounter @theclementebar @taqueria_ramirez_ @accidentalbar @withapower @abcbeerco @longislandbar @spikethechef @preshiftnyc @julitapplebum @brotherdante @keenssteakhouse @kikis_nyc @createdbycody @readingbarbooks @dadpunkvibes @thaidiner @pawkhrua @internationalbarnyc @libby.winters @bigbarnewyork @vinniesbrooklyn @thegrillny @smithereensnyc @nikitajarred @rosellasushi Welcome to the irreverent & unfiltered world of PUT IT IN MY MOUTH, a podcast that fearlessly explores the underbelly of the hospitality industry.
