adashofbitters is a mixologist and blogger who's overseeing the bar at the soon-to-open Cook & Brown Public House in Providence, Rhode Island. He also happens to be married to beloved food52 contributor lastnightsdinner, but there's no doubt he holds his own in the kitchen. He specializes in homey recipes like Buttermilk Biscuits and Chicken Cracklins and artful cocktails like the Seelbock. His love of spirits at times spills over into boozed-up recipes like Slow Cooker Pork Belly with Braised Apples and Cabbage (in which he explains the distinction between American apple brandy and Calvados and why, in this case, the American version is better).
