the cocktail napkin* is a video podcast supplement to my blog, the martini shaker* (themartinishaker.com). Basically I get a lot of ideas from time to time that I don’t think easily fit as a post because they're either too long and would equate to a novel online or they're such small ideas that it seems like they wouldn’t be worth posting.

But around here, all ideas (well, maybe not all ideas) are worthy of sharing and I wanted to give those ideas a place to live. Hence the new podcast.

And despite what people have wondered, I'm really not drunk in this video. Just tired.

In this episode: Introductions, Nashville, Bar-B-Cutie (bar-b-cutie.com), Woodford Reserve Manhattans.
