As bartenders & industry professionals, we work with flavor on a near constant basis, yet so much of what we know about it is based on superstition & conventional wisdom as opposed to hard science.

So tune in for this extra special episode, as we explore the senses and better understand the mysteries of flavor that so deeply impact everything we serve across the bar.

In this business it is so common to see a bar open up win a bunch of awards & then fizzle out within a few years as staff changes & a places loses its appeal. But what is far more rare is to see a bar that has been open 10 or 11 years growing & innovating, while still receiving accolades & taking home awards. This is exactly what the Connaught Bar has been able to do while under the helm of Ago Perrone & his talented team. To help us better understand the long-game & how to best achieve longevity in the bar world, we had the opportunity to sit down with Perrone, so he could share his views & philosophies on cocktails & hospitality with us.
