Dinner Party Download: Barista Throwdown
Dinner Party Download is a fast and funny 12-minute "cheat sheet" of news and culture... designed to give you enough conversational firepower to dazzle friends and family at this weekend's dinner party. This week: A sober chat with Ezra Feinberg about his psych-rock band Citay... We remember the Great Fire of London with a conflagrant cocktail... and a champion barista drinks deep the mad flava of competitive coffee-making.
Dinner Party Download hosts Rico Gagliano (upper right) and Brendan Newnam (lower left, back to camera) fete Norma Shearer at a dinner party at the Biltmore in 1936.
