Show Notes

In this episode, we brought on our good friend and overall great guy, Bar Manager Jeff Savage of Botanist. 

We’d like to say that Jeff’s definitely had himself a year as he was not only part of the winning team that took home the Bols Around the World Global Title but that he was also crowned the Diageo World Class Canadian Champion. 

To top both of these achievements, Jeff just arrived back from Glasgow where he was runner up in the Diageo World Class Global Final. 

We repeat, he came 2nd in the world!! 

What an accomplishment for himself, Team Canada, Vancouver and his Botanist team. With that, we were thrilled that he accepted our invitation to come on the pod and discuss his achievements, his process and much much more. 

If you enjoy cocktail culture, this is the episode for you. We also wax on the Vancouver restaurant scene and bit of current events. We hope you enjoy this one as much as we enjoyed recording it. 

FYI: You can find Jeff most days manning the bar of Botanist in The Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel. If you’ve never been, go say hello. It’s fantastic.
