If you’re attending Tales of the Cocktail in NOLA next week, think about coming to my panel, “Small Cities, Big Cocktail Programs.” I’ll be talking with three bar owners who run great programs in smaller locales about the challenges - and opportunities - that working in a smaller market can provide.

A perfect night out in Hyde Park, Chicago: Cocktails (get the frozen guava colada and chicken tamale) and snacks at Cantina Rosa, followed by dinner at Virtue (loved the fish and grits, lemon chicken, and nduja oysters).

Wrapping up 24 days on the road for the holidays and reporting. Made stops in Cleveland, Buffalo, western Massachusetts, Kingston, Philadelphia, Charlottesville, Charleston WV, and Cincinnati - so much to write about once I get back but for now I need a good night’s sleep and a lot of salads.
