Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 162: Life and Death & Co, with Dave Kaplan and Alex Day
Q: How do you balance what to keep from the original concept with the flexibility needed to make a new venture its own?
Day says each location shares Death & Co's approach to hospitality and creative cocktails while shaping its design, menu, and relationships around its local community. The Seattle menu also introduces a section celebrating the company's cocktail history.
Episode 162: Life and Death & Co, with Dave Kaplan and Alex Day
Q: Did you think this could be a 20-year operation when you first opened?
Kaplan says he had no such expectation and initially hoped only to create a comfortable neighborhood bar centered on food, drink, and human connection. The business grew through strong people, ongoing improvement, and learning how to operate.
Episode 161: The Goto Bartender’s Guide, with Kenta Goto and Noah Rothbaum
Q: Do you have a process for continually revisiting and re-evaluating all of the drinks that you make and even ones that have been on your menu for many years?
Goto does not follow a fixed schedule, but continually looks for ways to improve drinks. He adjusts methods and recipes as ingredients, seasons, and techniques change, as with his evolving preparation of the sake-based Eastside.
Episode 161: The Goto Bartender’s Guide, with Kenta Goto and Noah Rothbaum
Q: Why is consistency such a priority, and why is it so important for you to put it right there at the outset and to come back to it several times in the book?
Goto says customers should receive the same quality regardless of which bartender makes their drink. Recipes alone are not enough: detailed instructions about ice, dilution, and technique help staff reproduce the intended result.
Episode 160: Negroni Week 2026, with Francisco Terrazas and Renato Giovannoni
Q: Can you describe the three tracks of TIP's professional development program and what you hoped to achieve with them?
The three tracks target hospitality professionals seeking hands-on experience in Mexico, writers/communication specialists who can document and advocate for agave culture, and scientists focused on ecology and conservation, all aiming to build a more resilient and knowledgeable community around agave spirits.
