Chef Dominique Crenn, the first female chef to earn two Michelin stars in the United States, later achieved three Michelin stars with Atelier Crenn. She opened Bar Crenn in 2018 to explore cocktail culture, reflecting a trend among chefs transitioning from food to drinks. Experts like Alain Verzeroli note an evolving relationship between food and cocktails, with informed consumers seeking high-quality beverage experiences. This shift highlights the enduring social role of bars in hospitality, as chefs reconnect with their roots and storytelling through drinks.
Bars are the original interface for hospitality, arguably the oldest social platform ever created. Long before restaurants, people were gathering in taverns to drink, connect and experience community.
In recent years, the relationship between food and cocktails has evolved into something far more dynamic and intentional. Consumers today are more knowledgeable than ever about spirits and cocktail culture.
Storytelling is at the heart of everything I do, whether through food, art or human connection.
A beautiful gift, but never the goal.
