Diary of a Foodie

[eje]

So far, two episodes of Gourmet's Diary of a Foodie have featured cocktails, bartenders, and mixology.

The first, The Science of Deliciousness, featured a sequence with Eben Klemm talking about "Molecular Mixology". Also some pretty neat stuff with Heston Blumenthal of The Fat Duck and The Golden Hind in England.

The second, Raising the Bar, had a piece about Pisco and an extended sequence with Scott Beattie the bartender at Cyrus in Healdsburg, CA. There is also a Q&A on their website with Gary Regan talking about Pisco. The brewmaster from Brooklyn Brewery was also profiled.

Episode 18 of Diary of a Foodie, Contraband Cuisine, had features on Absinthe, Coca leaf infused Pisco used in desserts, (how does Fresca Restaurant get the coca leaves it infuses it's Pisco with?) and Potcheen.
