He brought with him a condensed version of Eastern's menu, and true to Eastern's form, the menu did not list drink ingredients. This did not go over well at all with PDT's patrons, and Kevin commented that it was like pulling teeth to get them to order anything off that menu. Eventually he talked them into it (and if anyone could, it would be Kevin). Whereas the drinks that Kevin made were Eastern's recipes, PDT's manager insisted on the resident prep techniques. Kevin loved working with the Kold-Draft ice, which tended to make the stirred drinks in particular a bit stronger than ES's custom. Kevin's other observations about New York clientele: they like stronger drinks than Bostonians, and they don't like them as cold, so the larger, uncracked ice worked in his favor. I didn't think to ask him what the most popular ES cocktail was. Kevin brought back a couple of precious bottles of Antica Formula, which we got to sample. Mmmmm. Not unlike the Dolin sweet we tried at Deep Ellum. Cheers, Andrea Fred and I did get a chance to talk to Kevin Monday night.
