I wouldn't be the bartender I am today if it weren't for this man. I bought his book "the essential cocktail" about 2 years ago having no idea who he was and it changed my whole phylosophy on bartending. I finally left my job at a douche bag infested college bar and moved up to a classy lounge in an upscale hotel where I could showcase classic cocktails. Im making much more money with much less headaches these days and am no longer struggling through college. Dale DeGroff truly changed my life!
This guy is an institution.

What happened to him?

James? I don't know, he left a couple of times but was always asked back.
The last i heard he'd left again which is such a shame, people loved him in there.
His drinks were amazing, like i said. They'll probably know at keens.

Good thing about Mr degoff unlike some bartenders he doesn't come across arrogant when talking about drinks

Until I manage to get my hands on a copy...
Does he mention the drink in each category (gin, whiskey, etc.) that everyone will like? I'm curious.
