During the course of chatting with owners and crew at Bourbons Bistro for a forthcoming profile at Food & Dining Magazine, I asked to see the legendary bourbon binder. It dates back to the establishment’s founding in 2005 and is filled with tasting notes compiled at the time (and perhaps since) by Michael Veach.
Of course this reminded me of the then-Rich O’s Public House binders from the long-lost period of 1997-1998.
Jason Brauner mentioned that few customers ask to view the binder these days, and speaking for myself, twenty years ago at the Public House publications like this proved impossible to keep updated, so I quit trying.
Perhaps the modern world has made these relics obsolete. If so, something has been lost.
