The Banter

The Guys kick around some questionable burger ideas that they don’t find appealing. 

The Conversation

The Restaurant Guys welcome Plymouth Gin Master Distiller Sean Harrison from across the pond. Sean talks about the trials and rebirth of gin and even shares the secret Plymouth Gin recipe. 

The Inside Track

The Guys are fans of Sean’s Plymouth Gin both in and out of cocktails. 

Francis: Sean, will you tell us how gin is made and why gin is so much more flavorful than it's the other clear spirit vodka? 

Sean: Yeah, because gin is a recipe. In all, if you actually look at what gin is, we take very neutral alcohol. That very neutral alcohol, we can actually put it into a bottle and call it vodka. So gin is the original flavored vodka. 

Francis: So basically you're saying that vodka is incomplete gin? 

Sean: Yes. It's halfway to God's world, basically.
