OK I was scrolling all the comments before commenting and it took a while, but YES! Why are they cooking food? What does this have to do with cocktails?!?!? I enjoy the show and can even look past the pretentious snootery, but I can't help but audibly ask WTF this is not a cooking show, I don't go to craft bars and expect them to serve me chicken and waffles with my drink, why would I fault a bartender for not being a chef? Also, it would be nice to have them make regular cocktails every once in a while, no "add your own spin", no deconstruction, no gelatin pearls of vermouth. WHO CAN MAKE THE BEST TASTING MARGARITA, MANHATTAN, OR (your fave drink here) ?!?
