Martin Cate

The affable Martin Cate joins us this week from New York City. The tiki guru has built an empire of some of the world’s most respected bars in just 10 short years. Smuggler’s Cove was named the Best Cocktail Bar in America at Tales of the Cocktail, Martin’s book of the same name won a coveted James Beard Award, he was one of the seven collaborators on Plantation OFTD, and he continues to add to his insanely large collection of rare rum. Today he sits down with us to talk about going from logistics professional to tiki king. So grab a Mai Tai, put on some Martin Denny, and hear what the Potencate has to say. Mahalo!
