What We’re Drinking with Dan Dunn — Arts
What We’re Drinking with Dan Dunn

A fantabulous conflation of history, culture, politics, famous people and booze, strained through the cognitive mesh of a best-selling author, polymath and inveterate reprobate.

139. Olivia Culpo Aug 31, 2021

Show notes

Former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo joins Dan for what turns out to be a first on this program — an interview that got cut off by an overzealous publicist who apparently didn't like the subject matter. Up until that point, though, Dan and Olivia, along with her business partner Ryan Laverty, had a good old time talking about Vide, their tasty ready-to-drink canned cocktail. Other topics of discussion include the cello, corruption in Rhode Island politics and — again — the controversial subject that got the interview shut down... you don't wanna miss this one!

138. Another Round with G-Eazy Aug 17, 2021

Show notes

Dan revisits a PC chat he and pal Emma Patterson had with music superstar G-Eazy at the Sunset Marquis in West Hollywood. And by PC we mean "Pre-Covid," and most definitely NOT "politically correct." Indeed, the conversation gets downright bawdy at times, thanks in no small part to all the Stillhouse Whiskey that was consumed that day... Stillhouse, of course, being the happening hooch brand G-Eazy founded with his good buddy Brad Beckerman, who's also on the show. And there's a Drinking Game!!!

Show notes

Recorded on location at the Firestone Walker Brewing Company in Venice Beach, Dan is joined by actor and fellow Philadelphian Adam Shapiro ("Never Have I Ever," "Steve Jobs") who started making Philly soft pretzels at home to pass the time during the pandemic, and suddenly found himself the proprietor of LA's red-hot Shappy Pretzel Co. The Philly boys pair Shappy's twisted foodstuff with a variety of west coast beers from legendary brewery Firestone Walker. Also on the show, the man who makes Firestone Walker beer, 6-time Great American Beer Festival “Brewer of the Year” Matt Brynildson, who conducts a clinic on all things hoppy.

3-Minute Bartender: Jungle Bird Jul 27, 2021

Show notes

In the time it takes dice a pineapple, Dan reveals all about a tiki classic called the Jungle Bird. While not as famous as the Mai Tai or Singapore sling, it's every bit as tasty and — Dan contends — a more authentically "tropical" libation that the aforementioned. It’s made with rum, pineapple and lime, the holy trinity of tropical tiki drinks. The thing that sets the Jungle Bird apart, though, is Campari, which adds a refreshing bitter edge.

135. T-Jeff and the Wine That Never Was Jul 20, 2021

Show notes

Virginia was home to the first commercial winemaking venture in the United States, which started two years before it was even called the United States. The Virginia Winemaking Company was founded by a thirty-one-year-old whippersnap- per you might have heard of, one Thomas Jefferson. Dan explores the rich historic wine heritage of the region and the preponderance of wineries there (there are more than 240 in Virginia alone), and offers a theory as to why Virginia wine has yet to join the pantheon of southern culture exports like triple-A baseball, deep-fried everything, and racial strife. Also on the show, Dan chats up one of Virginia's top winemakers, Luca Paschina of Bourboursville Vineyards. Plus, new boozy products!

3-Minute Bartender: Bloody Mary Jul 06, 2021

Show notes

Oh Bloody Mary, why are you so bedeviling to the brunching masses? What makes you ok to drink before 11 am? Is the Bloody Mary really named after someone named Mary? In the time it takes to make toast (it is brunch, after all), Dan answers these and other questions about fortified tomato juice.

3-Minute Bartender: Corpse Reviver #2 Jun 24, 2021

Show notes

This one’s for anyone who’s ever woken up with a hangover and thought, "What I could really use right now is… another drink!" That’s right, we’re talking about that most morbid of libations, the Corpse Reviver #2, one of the few cases where the sequel is better than the original — it’s like the "Godfather Part 2" or "Wrath of Kahn" of cocktails. In just over 180 seconds, Dan dishes all there is to know about this killer combination of gin, lemon juice, orange liqueur, a white aperitif and a teeny splash of absinthe.
