#6 - Michael Rooney / Liquid Culture
Beverage Director extraordinaire of Vaca Group, Michael Rooney, calls in from socially distant Laguna Beach to discuss how one of the best bar programs in Orange County switched to a to-go model, what the future holds, but also what groundwork was laid to get the restaurant group to where it is now. It is a gem of an interview, and reminds all of us just how much of a toll COVID-19 has taken, but, thanks to Rooney, how we can also navigate the toll thanks to great cocktails.
