Al, Gemini and Rich are in the same room for the first time in nearly two months, and are celebrating by breaking open a bottle of Frey Ranch's new "Farm Strength Uncut Bourbon." That means 124 proof, or more than 62% alcohol. Rich returns from his world tour by hitting two semi-new Chinese joints inside casinos - with mixed results. Gemini is all over the map, sampling Mexican, sushi, Irish, and even a smoothie. And Al checks out Tequila Cantina, the new collaboration of Nice Hospitality and Brandon Powers (think 'classic' Tijuana décor). Our guests include Chef Noe Alcala of Zai Restaurant, a cutting edge Mexican place downtown. And Al gets tips on cooking for two from Chef Alicia Shevetone, who's written a new cookbook on how to do just that.
