Brian Malarkey has a specific knack for restaurant design and picking talent. Each of the restaurants in his franchise are beautiful with a touch of whimsy and fantasy and clearly his talent radar (duh… He and Chef K won The Taste on ABC last season) is in full working condition because his mixologists have got it DOWN! After an amazing time at dinner during Comic-Con at the Gaslamp location of Searsucker, which included incredible #cocktails, we reached out to retrieve a recipe JUST FOR YOU to try on this ThirstyThursday!
(I can’t wait to see the NEW Searsucker in Del Mar! Maybe Brian will stop in for a photo too)
