Crawford McCarthy
Founder & Principal
A lifelong lover of the bar and restaurant industry, I left the corporate world several years ago to pursue my passion for cocktails & spirits, wine, food, travel, and more. I worked to be one of the top and most trusted voices for all things food and drink in Orange County, writing for several major media outlets in a short time. At the start of the pandemic, I launched my Patreon - a crowd-funded media platform for The Best Ceats - and flagship program in The Best Ceats Podcast, giving guests a candid platform to share their experiences, losses, and triumphs in the industry. As an ardent advocate for bars, restaurants, spirits, and more, I’ve established myself as an indispensable ally for industry professionals throughout Southern California and beyond and continue to write, podcast, photograph, create content, and support the industry I love.
