With excitement, allow me to introduce to you today's guest, author, journalists, and historian, Christine Sismondo. Christine Sismondo is the author of America Walks Into A Bar: A Spirited History of Taverns, Speakeasies and Grog Shops
I discovered Christine's book while reading Pouring With Heart by Cedd Moses
In this book, Christine points out the significant role the hospitality industry played in forming society as we know it today. I believe our industry still holds this transformative power and that's what I hope to explore in this conversation.
