Looking forward to speaking on this panel Thursday with Leslie Fields-Cruz, Allison Perlman, @joshshepperd.bsky.social and @mjanssen.bsky.social. Glad for the opportunity to discuss the importance of an adequately funded public media system, and the importance of fighting for it especially now!

Though I love New Orleans, I admit I wasn’t familiar with Pableaux Johnson until his passing. Making his red beans and rice recipe courtesy of Brad Thomas Parsons’ newsletter. I’ll drink some Old Grand-Dad Bonded in his honor. 🥃

Tonight's cocktail is again not much to look at but tasty. The Racketeer via @fredericyarm.bsky.social with mezcal, rye, Bénédictine, sweet vermouth, yellow Chartreuse and Peychaud's. Bénédictine really ties the room together.

Bad photo of tonight’s cocktail because I’m too lazy to take a good one. The drink is good though — a Devil’s Soul with rye, mezcal, Aperol, St. Germain, Averna, orange bitters and a flamed orange peel, from gaz regan’s cocktail app.
