The guys continue their focus on Rum Month this week with a special guest: award winning bartender and author Jim Meehan @mixography. If you appreciate great cocktails and super premium rums, you will love this episode. Jim has an incredible bar background that goes back to his days working with Danny Meyer in NYC’s Gramercy Tavern and helping found the famous East Village speakeasy PDT. Jim discusses his cocktail roots and the inspiration behind his many bar awards, including his James Beard Award for Outstanding Bar Program. We also talk about the bar experience we all miss, what it takes to deliver something exceptional, and Jim’s unique opportunity as a brand ambassador for super premium Banks Rums! Professor Dodge, Chef Masi, and special guest host Gabe Urrutia enjoyed sipping some delicious Banks Rums while recording this episode of “2 Barstools and a Knife.” So pull up a bar stool, pour yourself some fine rum, and give us a listen.
