This week's episode of The Food For ThoughtCast is a thought-provoking look into the world of bartending and its connections to food and the service industry. We are joined by Chef Stephen's pal Phil, for Episode 83. Coming to us from St Louis, he clues us in to the musician- to-service industry pipeline. We talk about why he hates the word "mixologist", a little bit of the science behind choosing food and drink together, the non-alcoholic beverage movement, Japanese whiskey, and most important of all- our feelings. Truly though, it is a fascinating cross-section of humanity that you will find in our business- and Phil leaves us with a lot of food for thought. Thanks for listening and don't forget to watch us on YouTube!
