Gary Regan

It's not exactly some notable place, but that's where my friend was working as a manager.

So through the friendship, he got me a job.

Yeah.

It's still a better story than my Red Lobster story, so, you know, don't [laughs] don't, don't feel too badly about working at Elephant.

Mm

... from Gary, uh, Gary Regan, uh, who's, who already passed away, but that, that was a very first book that I picked.

Then, um, yeah, it is a, a great read for anyone, uh, starting into craft cocktails.

Yeah.

But why they first came about, I think, is important.

Gaz Regan, The Joy of Mixology.

I believe is the title of that book is an amazing read.

Who else? There's so many.

[laughs]

And I remember being in Turin, and we took a, an, a Gary Rea- it was Gary Regan at the time, not Gaz Regan, a guy named Terry Sullivan, who wrote the Mixology column for GQ, and we're walking around Turin, and we end up in Cafe Torino, and Dale starts to order a, a bunch of Amaro, and then he ordered a Sazerac, a Negron- all these things I'd never heard of, and said, "Oh, y- this is all gonna happen.

This is all gonna happen."

Yeah.
