Me, Josh and a bunch of other people (including Julio Bermejo and Mauro Mahjoub) were together in Yerevan for Yerevan Cocktail Week (YCW), so I took the chance to tape an episode with Josh, who I always run into at Tales of the Cocktail, but never get to sit down and chat with.
Josh is best known for Trick Dog cocktail bar in SF, a perennial award winner and two-time World's Best Cocktail Menu winner at Tales; in fact, Josh taught a class at YCW on cocktail menus.
It was a special trip for Josh, whose grandparents fled Armenia for America; he is the very first member of the entire family to return to Armenia, ever.
Over some remarkably pungent Armenian string cheese, and a beer on my part and possibly some Mount Ararat brandy, we talked bars, menus, awards, travel, the industry, his new bar and a lot more. Enjoy!

(PR friends: we’re only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things than their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is, for a few hours.
They need to be able to hang.
Oh, plus we don't edit, and we won’t supply prepared or sample questions, or listener or “reach” stats, either.)
