Manage episode 418725513 series 1569833
Robert Simonson is one of our most prolific and witty scribes on the subject of cocktails. Along with cocktails, he also writes about the related topics of spirits, bars, and bartenders for the New York Times and is the creator and author of the Substack newsletterThe Mix with Robert Simonson. In his most recent book, The Encyclopedia of Cocktails, Robert offers, in his own singular voice, pocket histories and fun facts about cocktails and the people who create(d) and make/made them, key spirits, and even instruments of cocktailery (muddler, anyone?). He recently visited Andrew at his Brooklyn home to discuss Robert's book, his approach to writing it, and his career. Enjoy this conversation, and please join Robert and Andrew on June 2nd for their upcoming book party at Swoony's restaurant in Brooklyn. (click through for info and tickets)
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
Andrew is a writer by trade. If you'd like to support him, there's no better way than by purchasing his most recent book, The Dish: The Lives and Labor Behind One Plate of Food (October 2023), about all the key people (in the restaurant, on farms, in delivery trucks, etc.) whose stories and work come together in a single restaurant dish.
We'd love if you followed us on Instagram.
For Andrew's writing, dining, and personal adventures, follow along at his personal feed.
