Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

Two red cocktails glow in front of the bar’s absinthe fountain under warm lighting.

Roger called them bomb cocktails, hashtagging bourbon and bitters. Two weeks later he was back for a Kentucky Buck. The Soda & Swine meatball sliders were posted the same night, tagged Polite Provisions as well.

The quick critique

What stood out
