Reply to Drink Masters on Netflix rides the line between "mildly interesting" and "this is the most pretentious shit ever" by jcwitte
20+ years service industry, with a good bit behind the bar. Near the tail end of my career was when the whole mixology was coming about and it was a good thing. No more roses lime juice, no more sour mix from a plastic jug; real ingredients that made the cocktail actually taste good.
That being said I hated and still do hate the mixology peeps. Not a one of these folks could run a bar, you need to know how to take 3 orders whilst stirring, shaking and pouring and then decide which of the 3 to make next. How to go to the cooler and get the beer you know your regular is going to need next (even though they haven't ordered it) while getting your lemon twists and the manhatten batch.

Reply to comment by kinvore in ‘Poker Face’ is an absolute gem of a show. Would be blowing up if it was on a larger streaming service by mattyhegs826
And that's my biggest gripe. I was watching it by avter the 3rd commercial break I was out. I grew up with commercials and now the only time I put up with them is sporting events.
