A Cure for What Ails You

Welcome Back Everyone!

The relevance and proliferation of cocktail bars in the city of New Orleans is due to one thing and one thing only: Cure. A bold project that became an anchor to a street left nearly vacant from Katrina, Cure for many of us is the reason why we decided to become bartenders. Plain and simple.

Even for some of us who had been bartending for awhile, going into Cure provided a glimpse at a style and standard of service that was not yet common to most New Orleans bars. Seeing the way Cure did things inspired many of us to strive to learn and become better at what we do.

Hopefully, I'm not overstating things too much here, but I want to provide some context to the way I feel about this episode.

This week, we get the chance to talk to Neal Bodenheimer (one of the owners of Cure) and Matt Lofink (one of the bartenders at Cure). With all that this awesome bar has accomplished, it is so refreshing to be able to hear how honest and approachable these two are.

We cover such topics as how Cure ended up on Freret, challenges they have faced over the years, and things they have done to improve their business. For anyone interested in turning their passion into a business, listen and learn.

So, thanks as always for tuning in! Don't get trapped underneath any ovens. And, of course, let us know what you think!

Cheers!
