Fresh off their travels, Adam, Joanna, and Zach discuss whether hiring a famous bartender to design your cocktail menu, but not actually tend bar, can actually drive business, especially if that bar doesn't share a name with their more famous establishment.

With Adam, Joanna, and Zach all on the road, they discuss what they look for when traveling: how best to try to get the sense for a local drinks scene, the amount of prep work they do, and how they assess whether styles and trends are viable on a larger scale or will likely remain localized.

To announce the launch of Full Book, Adam, Joanna, and Zach are joined by contributor Dave Foss to discuss the impact that current and proposed tariffs from the Trump Administration are having on the restaurant, bar, and hotel industry, from slowing down potential openings to creating chaos in the by-the-glass market.

Adam, Joanna, and Zach discuss this rather curious question: while food programs at cocktail bars have gotten more and more elaborate and involved, do these bars actually want you to have a meal there? If so, why aren't more of them set up to facilitate a true dining experience?
