Jayce McConnell is practically perfect in every way. He’s the Head Bartender at Edmunds Oast and has a legendary mustache. He joins Lindsay, Nikki and Phil in the effinb HQ and tells us what a fancy bartender like himself drinks at home. [A huge extra special thanks to him for guest bartending after the show and for wearing that unicorn zombie t-shirt. ]
Teddy Nixon is the star of this episode. He bids farewell to a city that helped land him at the helm of Bar Mash and on the cover of IMBIBE mag. We wish him bon voyage on this very, super, extra-lit show. Effinb HQ is basically TRL and this episode was not only taped in front of a live audience but no less than two special guests roll up unannounced and wildly welcomed.
The gang recaps the recent joys and weird moments of running OUR VERY OWN BAR [effinb HQ] and looks longingly at Summer.
Femi Oyediran + Miles White are the dynamic duo behind Graft the brand spankin’ new wine shop on King Street! We chat with the two owners in front of our very first LIVE STUDIO audience at Effinb HQ and it’s basically like TRL.
Ian Purkayastha was a teenage phenom who started Regalis, the luxury food company that sources some of the most rare and expensive ingredients in the world. AKA Truffle Boy. He’s now all grown up and in the studio to discuss throwing a fancy AF party. It’s rare and unusual!
Gabrielle Hamilton is the guest and our lives will never be the same. This episode is the most staggering and humbling honor for the gang and a super-fun 50ish minutes with GH being incredible and us trying not to blow it.
It’s the first day of Charleston Wine and Food Festival and we also happen to be opening the doors to Effinb Headquarters for the very first time. It’s our special day.
