Episode 54: A Visit to New Orleans With Touré Folkes and Kimberly Patton-Bragg

In July, Tales of the Cocktail returned to New Orleans as an in-person event for its 20th anniversary. While in town for Tales, we caught up with Touré Folkes and Kimberly Patton-Bragg, two of this year’s Imbibe 75 People to Watch. Both live and work in New Orleans. Folkes is the founder and program director for Turning Tables, which works to create equity in the hospitality industry. Patton-Bragg is bar director at Palm & Pine in the French Quarter. In this episode, each reflect on their work in New Orleans and the influence of Tales of the Cocktail. And Patton-Bragg shares one of her cocktail creations, the Knowing Glance.
