This Wednesday 8/19, I will be participating as a guest bartender at Ballyhoo for their Pour for a Cause program. I make a cocktail, you buy it, and Tim and Morgan graciously donate $1 from each cocktail sold to a charity of my choice. It’ll run for about 2 months, but I would like to see all of you there post-6pm to imbibe.
My charity of choice will be The Scotty Fund (scottyfund.org), a foundation in the name of my good friend, Grant Anderson’s, little brother.
The whole idea is to have a barkeep from another restaurant (Toutant in my case) come in and maybe draw some traffic that wouldn’t normally be there. We all guest other places for shits and giggles now and again, but this makes it a little more meaningful.
We did a similar thing with my place, ABW, in which we sent a bartender up to Ballyhoo, good times. It’s great that there is so much collaboration in Buffalo, everybody wins.
For your event, is it cocktails only, or beer as well?
Ah ok. Now it makes sense. I thought you were some random person they were letting bar tend and was like, wtf is the point? Vodka and orange juices for all!
