Alex and Jordan talk with Matt Seigel, a well-known bartender who got his start at Eleven Madison Park and The NoMad. Now, he is the owner of In The Spirit Of Hospitality, which seems to be keeping him very busy. During the conversation we hit a lot of the major themes you’ve heard throughout the show from Episode #001 now to Episode #080. We really love hearing professionals talk about home experiences and experiments, and Matt brought plenty of good stories and good advice to the conversation. We really enjoyed hearing about the evolution of Matt’s appreciation for spirits and cocktails, to his entry in the professional ranks, and his continued appreciation for a simple drink at home with his brother. Below Matt answered our “go to” questions to get you started: What’s the first cocktail you remember really enjoying?Old FashionedWhat do you like to make most at home?Blanc Vermouth, Club Soda, Squeeze of LemonWhat would you suggest reading or watching to a new home bartender? What skills should they pick up? The Fine Art Of Mixing Drinks by David A. EmburyWhat’s your favorite/least favorite cocktail(s)?Hard question to answer..so many variables but really, really enjoy a good Sazerac, and don’t really like Champagne cocktails.What cocktail trend(s) do you love/hate?Really like Low ABV drinks and the return of old bad classics done right, don’t like people taking themselves too seriously.If you have one (or a few), what would say is your ‘signature drink’?Really proud of the Always Betz On Black as it was a tribute to one of my mentors as a gift to him on his last day of us working together and stayed on the menu at both EMP and NoMad for quite some time. However, in Los Angeles I’m probably best known for “the drink with the rose in it.” (The Pink Pussycat at Delilah)Can you share with us one of your favorite toasts?“The Jack went out golfing, he’s hot through and through; quick fix him a Highball whatever you do!” – King of Hearts Drink Book (1955)Where can people connect with you online?

Episode #080: Interview with Matt Seigel

You gotta know the rules to break them. Enter Matt Seigel. Growing up in Beverly Hills, Matt experienced the life we all aspire to provide for our families. One that was filled with love and possibility. He was a city kid, playing baseball, and the world was his oyster. When you have the opportunity to be whatever you desire, it may seem natural to "dream big". For Matt, there was only one thing he set out to be; a giver. As college approached, it was time to leave the bubble, and set out to discover. There, he was introduced to the love of his life, two turntables and a mixer. Music quickly became everything. It filled him with passion, creativity, and a new identity: MATTER. Becoming a DJ, and evolving to a producer, performer, band-mate, and artist, Matt gave music to the world, and was the glue that held it all together. But what happens when the glue leaves, and you want to do more than just "matter"? When you want to leave the identity you became, and discover who you really are? It's that moment where we have to tell ourselves two very hard words, "Do you". For Matt, that meant moving to NYC, to become the wrapper stuck to the gum at the bottom of a waiter's shoe in one of the greatest restaurants in the world...Yea, it's not always easy to "do you". We forget that we have to start at the bottom, and the bottom sucks. But it's those who throw their egos away, remain patient, learn, and embrace every ounce of the bottom, that make it to the top. Before we tell you how that gum wrapper became one of the most esteemed bar curators in the nation, just know that when your time does eventually come, you better be ready to hit a home run. #MamaWeMadeItConnect:@matt_seigel@mamawemadeit@anoushmoin@getrauschymamawemadeit.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
