New Orleans,LA

Cairo, Havana, London, Paris, Rome, Istanbul, New York, San Juan -- from the 1930s through the 1960s, legendary mixologist “Joe The Bartender” was everywhere and nowhere, always one step ahead of governments who suspected him of espionage because he served so many heads of state, generals, and journalists. This seminar reveals the untold story of the trained chemist who spoke eight languages and survived two revolutions, imprisonment, and exile to create such infamous exotic drinks as the Suffering Bastard. Presented by Jeff “Beachbum” Berry, who spent two years tracking down his elusive subject.
