This trailblazing Bay Area restaurant just invented a new drinking culture

Flores' program establishes a new drinking culture, as El Salvador does not have much of a cocktail tradition.

...

El Salvador has an affinity for rum, and Popoca's list would make a tiki bar envious.Additionally, the restaurant has a one-of-a-kind bottle list full of deep cuts from Latin America, like Pox, a mixed grain alcohol from Central America and southern Mexico, as well as other Mexican spirits like gin and agave distillates like raicilla and sotol, made from cactus varieties.

...

I almost shrieked when I saw my favorite rum on offer: Camazotz ($13), a wildly complex Oaxacan rum, made in the agricole style with fresh sugarcane.

...

I think the mark of a great bar is one that compels you to return and learn more.

Kurtenbach: The SF Giants can't afford another season of Farhan Zaidi, and they know it

However, the fact remains that Zaidi puts the team together, and six years into his tenure, he only has one winning season to his name.

...

No one works the bottom end of a roster spots 20 to 26 better.

But that's the role of a No. 2, and he's the Grand Poobah.
