The Conversation
The Restaurant Guys reconnect with Sother Teague about the beginning of Amor y Amaro 13 years earlier, his multitude of establishments and his viral video last year. Be sure to listen to find out how you can get a Super Secret Sother Cocktail! (Psst, scroll down.)
The Inside Track
The Guys met Sother through Dale DeGroff and Audrey Saunders (cocktail legends). He was generous to help them celebrate their 30th anniversary of Stage Left Steak and has attended several special events at their restaurants. They met up at Tales of the Cocktail last month for oysters.
On why some love the hospitality business:
“As you're making 10 (cocktails) and dealing with the bar and listening to the ticket machine rattle at you, it's a high pressure situation, but I think that there are folks like the three of us who thrive on that. I don't think I'm ever going to step away from this stuff,” Sother Teague on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2024
Bio
Sother Teague worked in kitchens for 12 years and was a culinary educator. He came out of the kitchen and landed behind a couple of bars in New York before opening Amor y Amargo in 2011.
