Industry Night

Jillian introduces not-Samuel, Wyatt Day, and they dive right into fancy butter, work boundaries & breaking points, "mixology", fat washing spirits, introvert hacks, coffee snobbery, Japanese whiskey history, what is peat, and all things Japanese cocktail culture.

Jillian gets into the two primary themes for bar etiquette and how that translates into always getting good (and efficient) bar service. This episode is meant as a helpful tool to add perspective - it is NOT a list of rules.

Jillian sits down with bartender & musician, Tyler Martin to discuss the cocktail making process.

This week on Industry Night Jillian sits down with friend and founder of Where To Eat, Christine Susi. The duo tangents their way through topics ranging from how to run a food based blog, Instagram algorithms, inner circles, red flags, & East Coast Italians. There is no gatekeeping here, the girly pops are sharing it all.

Jillian sits down with OC & Nashville bartender, Savannah Peters, to discuss leaving the industry and what it's like coming back. It's all on the table: industry friends becoming your family, stances on muddling in old fashioneds, offending the Scots, peace-bringing regulars, bar bruises, and debates on garnishing citrus cocktails. Let's get into it.

Bonus Wee Ep. Jillian has a wine game for Savannah to see if she can decipher between three white wines.

Man, whata you know about a Turkey Dew? Matt & Jillian spread the dirty bird gospel.

Jillian sits down with her current Lead Bartender and former sous Chef, Matt Lawson. The pair delve into why green bartenders can be your hidden gems, how many hours is it possible to work in a week, opening new concepts, the Bobby Flay era, how to communicate when your drink or dish isn't all you hoped for, and why Yelp & Google Reviews need to die. If you're looking to open a bar or restaurant, you've found the consultant you didn't know you needed.

Jillian is back with Brianna Beck diving into the unique blending behind Barrell Bourbon and comparing two whiskies born from the same family, Old Forester 1910 & Woodford Double Oaked. The debate is unresolved and the question remains: which is the smoother double oaked whiskey?

Industry Night host, Jillian, invites one of her favorite sales reps to share how she navigated from slingin' wine in airports to slingin' a whole spirits portfolio across middle Tennessee. Brianna & Jillian discuss living in cliches & euphemisms, women in stem, how to drink Chartreuse sacrilegiously, and how to live & work not too seriously. Catch the video footage on YouTube and peep the background sunset.
