REALLY GOOD BUDDY

We can finally let this wildcat out of the bag! Bethany and I are opening a cocktail & wine bar in Dartmouth, NS. In a few short months, The Watch that Ends the Night will be open for business. Construction began a week ago and so far everything is coming along swimmingly. We have an exciting team and a great deal of nervous optimism. Check it out and give us a follow on Instagram (@thewatchthatendsthenight), Facebook, and Twitter to stay up to date on progress (links on the bottom of our main site, link in profile). Onwards and upwards! www.thewatchthatendsthenight.com. @mdss_md @k_fluker.scott @mjamesgray @maggonomics @littlestowaway @pb__studio @landfaculty #dartmouth #halifaxeats #halifaxfood #twtetn (at King’s Wharf)

A couple firsts for Beth and me! @abstractmatt went to Vietnam and sent us back (a) our first coffee bean grown in Vietnam, (b) our first coffee that was roasted somewhere coffee is grown, © our first coffee roasted in the same country it came from and at the same cafe it’s sold at, and (d) our first coffee roasted anywhere in Southeast Asia. (Third-wave single-origin keep in mind). And it’s excellent! A light roasted red bourbon grown at 1500m in the gorgeous mountainous Dalat region by one Mr. An. Very well roasted, a smooth coffee with minty highlights and a tart nectarine note on the finish. What a treat! A kudos to The Workshop roasters in Saigon and a huge thank you to Matt Mazowita for thinking of us! 🇻🇳

Nothing in the world like a good Reuben.

Moved my bar into the basement. (Don’t worry the vermouth is going back in the wine cooler 😅)
