Following the conversation with co-authors Katie Brightside and Sarah L.M. Mengoni from the unique cocktail adventure recipe book, of Once Upon a Cocktail - West Hollywood, the cocktail "dream team" (in the words of Katie) comes together on the mic for Part II of the podcast with We Know Weho! Meet our guests and dream team members: - Heidi Wittekind who is a long standing hospitality/cocktail master, Bar Director at Tesse Restaurant in West Hollywood, & creator of the Pea Diddy Cocktail featured in the book. - Lauren Trickett is the National Brand Ambassador for Mount Gay Rum and Cointreau - Brynn Smith is a renowned mixologist & Bar Director at The Bar Next Door on Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood. Listen and hear how all these incredible women got involved with the project and their thoughts on this very special cocktail book. We love what Lauren has to say in particular and are tickled to find out that Cointreau is a sponsor. Heidi takes you on a deep dive of how the Pea Diddy was concepted at Tesse and explains how to make the refreshing cocktail. (Insider scoop - Heidi also created the infamous bone luge a not to be missed signature dish at Tesse.) Sarah takes over the mic to ask the dream team a few questions and then answers what cocktail she thinks has the highest difficulty level to make! You will definitely want to grab a copy of Once Upon a Cocktail - West Hollywood after listening to this episode! And, not to worry, if you aren't brave enough to make an attempt at a few drinks you can always head to the West Hollywood location that will happily whip it up for you in no time.

Listen to the inaugural podcast of "We Know Where To Go" from the award winning podcast We Know WeHo, a podcast supporting the local businesses of West Hollywood, California.  On the show, anything outside of West Hollywood is considered Weho adjacent…and that covers Beverly Hills to New York to Paris! Approaching the third year of the podcast, Host Tracy Paaso is expanding beyond West Hollywood to highlight other cities - with the same mission of supporting small businesses.  Mikey Consbruck, former owner of V Wine Room and one on the show's former co-hosts, is from Nebraska and has recently returned to his home state to live. Most people don’t likely think of Nebraska as a destination vacation spot, but you might change your mind after this podcast!  This flyover state has much to offer and is definitely worth a visit…especially if you are an avid cyclist like Tracy.  Mikey gives an overview of this midwestern state that is a short drive from Denver and accessible by most major and budget airline carriers (United, Delta, American, Southwest, Frontier etc.).   He takes a deeper dive into the town of Hastings, that ranks as the #5 or #6 cities in Nebraska with a population of approximately 24,000. Listen to the small businesses highlighted from Hastings, and like Tracy, you may be putting Nebraska on your "Places to Travel" list for 2023....especially when you learn that Kool-Aid was invented in Hastings!   PODCAST Website:  anchor.fm/weknowweho Instagram: @weknowweho_official Instagram: @we_know_where_to_go (coming soon) Host:  @TLP_Style Email:  weknowweho@gmail.com Donate to our Fundraiser to Support Small Businesses SHOW NOTES & LINKS: Visit Nebraska  Flyover Brewing Company (Scottsbluff, NE) Toadstool National Park Cowboy Trail  (189 miles for biking enthusiasts) Silicon Prairie  The Old Market (Omaha)  Kool-Aid Museum Odyssey (Hastings Restaurant owned by Jamey Hamburger) The Blue Fork  Pauley Lumber Company  What the Dickens (traditional English tea house) V Wine Room (West Hollywood)

Shark-tank obsessed best friends Jack Della Femina and Nathan Katz had the idea for a pop-up in January 2020 and landed on the idea for avocado toast.   After successful pop-ups in West Hollywood, Brooklyn and The Hamptons, Jack and Nathan opened up their first brick and mortar location in West Hollywood in January 2022 on Doheny Drive. Many restaurants offer avocado toast on their menus, but “Bravo Toast” has carved out a niche in the restaurant space by offering mainly assorted toasts.  There are a few secrets to a great toast, the first being the actual toast that is locally sourced from Bub and Grandma’s Bread.  However, their savory burrata is flown in daily from an undisclosed cheese vendor in New York City.  Bravo Toast is located at 632 1/2 Doheny Drive and is open Tuesday - Sunday from 8:00am - 4:00pm.   GUEST RESOURCES Website:  Bravotoast.com Instagram: @bravo.toast SPONSORS B2V Salon  www.b2vsalon.com @b2vsalon David Stanko @thedavidstanko  PODCAST Website:  anchor.fm/weknowweho Instagram: @weknowweho_official Host:  @TLP_Style SHOW NOTES & LINKS: Bravo Toast Spaces The Woods The Griddle Cafe Tocaya Organica Cavatina at the Sunset Marquis Junior Cookies Melrose Place Restaurant Catch Steak Holloway House Chief Croft Alley Urth Caffe Dan Tana's Marvin’s on Beverly B2V Salon
