Bryan Batt chats w/ Natalie Bovis
It was a privilege to attend the Mad Men-themed Spirited Awards Dinner on July 24 as a guest of The Bitter Truth gentleman from Germany, Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck. Happily, they won for Best New Product with their incomparable celery bitters.
San Francisco represented well with the Rickhouse crew nominated in three major categories, including Best American Cocktail Bar and World’s Best Cocktail Menu.
As a Mad Men fan, it was a treat to meet Bryan Batt (who lives in Nola) and see him as a presenter. The house band played the show’s theme almost ad nauseum every time someone won an award. The ceremony, and following Bartender’s Breakfast after party, were highlights in a week full of memorable events. Here are the 2010 Spirited Awards winners and a few of my photos from the night.
