The Banter

The Guys compare dining experiences: Francis decisively won that round. 

The Conversation

The Restaurant Guys get to speak with Kate Krader about Food & Wine’s Cocktail Book and the trends that have made Food & Wine declare 2006 “The Year of the Cocktail.” From making grenadine to martini glass size to home cocktail parties, they cover what’s in and what’s out. 

The Inside Track

The Guys and Kate bond over the importance of ice in a drink.

 Francis: You know what? The three of us are a bunch of dorks talking about ice.

Kate:  Oh, and I thought we were really smart.

Francis:  Yeah, believe me, you wanna have one of the three of us putting your cocktail party together. 

Mark: You can’t call us dorks. We're talking about the thermodynamics of ice here. This is important stuff!
