Episode 54: A Visit to New Orleans with Touré Folkes & Kimberly Patton-Bragg

In July, Tales of the Cocktail returned to New Orleans as an in-person event for its 20th anniversary, and for this episode, we catch up with two of this year’s Imbibe 75 People to Watch, both of whom live and work in New Orleans: Touré Folkes and Kimberly Patton-Bragg. Folkes is the founder and program director for Turning Tables, which works to create equity in the hospitality industry, and Patton-Bragg is bar director at Palm & Pine in the French Quarter. They each reflect on their work in New Orleans and the influence of Tales of the Cocktail, and Patton-Bragg shares one of her cocktail creations, the Knowing Glance.
