“Vitamins” an orange emergen-C packet, a splash of orange juice and a boat load of vinalla vodka. It’s important for the staff to take their vitamins. Read more

During my college days, I worked at a nightclub, barback on the weekends and during the rest of the weekend, tended bar. After the bar closed for the night, our staff meetings/parties we had pitchers of kamikazes. Read more

Fernet is the go to industry shot.  Used to be Jameson. Read more

Can confirm. I’ve been making wine for nearly 20 years, I’m much more likely to have a beer or bourbon when I’m not in the cellar. Read more

Scorpid Sting (not to be confused with a Scorpion Sting, which is a fruity “girly” drink): Read more

That last one tracks.

While all of the wine professionals I know (winemakers, owners, bartenders) all have extensive wine collections, every one of them said that they don’t drink much wine outside of work because they’re around it all day.   Read more

I have the Amazon version.  Based on reviews, it’s apparently kind of a crappy air fryer, but since I don’t have anything to compare it to, it’s fine for me- I just tend to add 20-30% more time to whatever my sources quote. Read more

Yet MORE reasons I need to get one of these. However, I stand by the panini press as the optimal pizza-reviving device. It also manages to ~elevate~ trash pizza from Dominos or Pizza Hut into something blistered and crispy with burnty toasty cheese, omg. Read more
