SHOW NOTES
This week's show is a doozy. I have a long, boozy, smoky talk with Eric Lorenz of Lorenz Agave Spirits, along with another busted barbecue myth from Meathead Goldwyn of amazingribs.com. 
Please write me at ron@ronshewchuk.com with any questions or comments. I'd love to here from you!

RECIPE OF THE WEEK
Oaxacan Daisy (Courtesy of Eric Lorenz)
1.5 oz Sombra Mezcal
1 oz. Cointreau
.75 oz. Meyer Lemon juice
Shake in iced cocktail shaker, then strain into coupe glass. Garnish with Meyer Lemon peel.
Super easy but surprisingly delicious!
BOOK OF THE WEEK
This week I want to pay tribute to uberchef Rick Bayless for helping bring the flavours of Mexico to the North American home kitchen. Get his book, Mexican Everyday. Quick, easy recipes that make great-tasting meals -- many of which go well with mezcal!
