Unvarnished - A Gimlet-eyed Look...

Anonymous

A Kitchen Confidential for the cocktail profession, Unvarnished is a fly-on-the-wall narrative peek at the joys, pains, and peculiarities of life “behind the stick.” 
 
When it opened a decade ago, the acclaimed Los Angeles speakeasy The Varnish—owned, designed, and managed by award-winning cocktail aficionado Eric Alperin—quickly became the stylish standard bearer for modern bars. Unvarnished is a candid, voice-driven, no-holds-barred look at the workings of a bar, and the foundation of The Varnish’s success: attention to hospitality and an abiding belief in the nobility of service.  
Alperin and veteran bartender and writer Deborah Stoll push back against the prevailing conceit that working in the service industry is something people do because they failed at another career. They offer fascinating meditations on ice as the bartender’s flame; the good, the bad, and the sad parts of vice; one’s duty to their community as a local; the obsessive, compulsive deliberations of building a bar (size matters); lessons from Sasha Petraske—Eric’s late partner, mentor, and the forefather of the modern day classic cocktail renaissance—and the top ten reasons not to date a bartender. At the book’s center are the 100 recipes a young Jedi bartender must know before their first shift at The Varnish, along with examples of building drinks by the round, how to Mr. Potato Head cocktails, and what questions to ask when crafting a Bartender’s Choice.  
A sexy, gritty, honest look at the glamour-less work of a glamorous job, written with the intimate honesty of The Tender Bar, the debauched inside view of Kitchen Confidential, and the social commentary of Waiter Rant, Unvarnished will take its place among these classics of the service set.

Oology - The Egg and Its...

Mike Crawford

The egg is one of nature’s most remarkable biological innovations, serving as the foundation of avian reproduction. Long before birds existed, the ability to lay eggs developed as a survival strategy in early reptiles, eventually giving rise to the diverse eggs seen in birds today. The evolution of eggs is a story of adaptation, refinement, and resilience, shaping the reproductive success of countless species.
Egg-laying, or oviparity, predates birds by hundreds of millions of years. The first amniotic eggs emerged among ancient reptiles during the Carboniferous period, around 300 million years ago. These eggs were a major evolutionary breakthrough, allowing vertebrates to reproduce on land without relying on water, unlike amphibians. The development of a protective shell and internal membranes provided a self-contained environment, shielding the embryo from desiccation while supplying it with the necessary nutrients and gases for development. Over time, the egg’s structure became more specialized, leading to the hardened, calcified shells seen in modern birds.
As dinosaurs evolved into birds, their eggs underwent significant transformations to meet the demands of flight and avian lifestyles. Fossil evidence suggests that theropod dinosaurs, the ancestors of birds, laid eggs with increasingly sophisticated structures. Their eggshells contained microscopic pores that regulated gas exchange, similar to those of birds today. Some species even exhibited brooding behaviors, indicating that parental care played a role in egg survival long before the emergence of modern avians. These adaptations contributed to the success of birds, enabling them to occupy a wide range of ecological niches.
