IN THE SPIRIT FEATURING: GABBY CIRIGLIANO
GABBY CIRIGLIANO, THECURLYCUCUMBER, BLOGGERI get inspiration from other food bloggers and also from walking around the grocery store. Each time I go grocery shopping, I try to find one item I do not generally buy and try to incorporate it into a meal! It is a fun way to try something new.

IN THE SPIRIT FEATURING: JASON PLUMMER
JASON PLUMMER, @BARRELAGEDDAD AT HOME BARTENDERA designer by trade, I've always admired the culinary arts. My wife, a sous chef, expanded my palate and taught me about flavor profiles. This love affair with culinary inevitably carried over to craft cocktails when I had my first proper Old Fashioned. I quickly "fell prey" to the resurgence of classic cocktail culture sweeping the country.
