I get the creeping sensation that beer week is upon us. Now don't get me wrong, I like beer. I am going to Germany and Austria at the end of the summer and plan to drink tons of it. I just don't understand why we need to celebrate it. Well, maybe that's wrong. I'm just being jealous. Basically I want to know why there is no cocktail week in Philadelphia as well.
Maybe that is what we need to elevate Philadelphia's awareness. I would like to challenge the bartenders of this great city to two things. First, I challenge you to make me a classic drink that makes me believe I am in a speakeasy from yesteryear. Second, I challenge you to make me a drink that makes wonder if it is even possible, something new and real and worth of a show on Bravo.
If anyone can pull this off, let me know. I'll be at your bar post-haste. If enough of you can do this, maybe we can start our own "Drink Week."
