Deborah Von Brod and Maria Bukhonina have embarked on a world trip to tell a story through the lens of "BOOZE"... Coming soon...
Online PR News – 27-August-2013 –Jack Maxwell is not a professional critic... he isn't a sommelier... he’s just a down-to-Earth Boston guy with a taste for liquor and a dream to open up his own bar. Now that he's getting closer to seeing this dream through, he wants to fill up his menu with the world’s best drinks. What are people drinking in South America, Asia, Russia? To find the answers, he’s taking a trip around the world. The thing is... he's never been outside the United States.
Each week we follow Jack to a single country, ranging from the exotically beautiful to
the third world. This show puts us on the ground level -- to local bars, backyards, street festivals, and little-known hideaways that only natives know about. Unlike most show hosts, he's new to these places, making him a more relatable character for the viewer. Neither of us quite know what to expect, not from the culture and certainly not from the drinks.
Some drinks like Thailand’s Wop, a fruit-flavored “slushie” with a homemade Whisky,
and Oahu's fermented-pineapple drink Oke Lahow, are a no-brainer. Others dare you not
to gag from the thought of it. Take the Back-Alley Menstruation Whisky in Bangkok or
the Tiger Penis Vodka in Laos (yeah, it is just that). Whether they end up on the menu or not, the drinks ultimately tell a story about the culture to which they belong.
This travel show is less about getting to know the history of the land and more about the new friends Jack makes while hunting for beverages. He gets to meet locals like Mr.
Shiva, a.k.a. "Thai Elvis," who makes his own whisky, and the Baba in Nepal who
concocts a special yogurt drink just for Jack in the middle of a huge Hindu festival. AsJack says, "There's no better way to get to know people than over a couple of drinks."
On his adventure, Jack learns that drinking isn't about getting hammered. It's about
taking a time out from life to bond with people. Whether sipping backyard moonshine at
an authentic luau in Maui or sampling home-brewed beer with Sherpas at the base of Mt.
Everest, Jack’s showing all of us how to become a world class Booze Traveler
