Chava’s Hair Malfunction
Hey, road trippers! Due to a hair malfunction, this week’s regularly scheduled episode of Agave Road Trip has been bumped to next week. So what will you do in the meantime? Last week Chava and I hosted emergency room doctor Ryan Aycock in a session at Tales of the Cocktail. To learn what you can do – or not do – to keep your customers out of the hospital, click here. And Chava hosted another session, with Anna Nguyen, called “An imperfect guide to the art of celebrating culture(s).” If you want to hear me talk about the carbon trail I leave in my wake on every trip to Mexico, click here. And then head back here next week to see if Chava’s hair dilemma gets solved!
They Make Mezcal in California! Or Do They?

There’s Something about Kendall Jenner in a Huipil
When Kendall Jenner released 818 Tequila, social-media caught fire. It seemed to make a bunch of bartenders mad. Then she appeared on Instagram wearing a huipil and the phrase “cultural appropriation” started to get thrown around. But … for years now, Chava has been begging me to wear one of those traditional Mexican garments. So if I had, would I have been appropriating that culture? In this episode of Agave Road Trip, Chava and I talk about celebrity tequila, cultural appropriation, and how fine I would look in a huipil.
