Caitlin Love has definitely found both her love and her passion working for Passion Food Hospitality. She is a seven-year company veteran and has served as bartender at the firm's District Commons eatery since its September 2011 grand opening. Located on Washington Circle, it's basically a 21st century take on the traditional American tavern. In terms of food offerings, customers love the huge raw bar and the open-hearth oven where everything from flavorful tarts to tasty flatbreads are baked. But Love believes it is the drink selection that gets so many customers coming back for more, especially those who like to sample from District Commons' 99 Beers on the Wall.
"District Commons and Burger Tap and Shake are conjoined restaurants," she stated, during a recent interview with the Beverage Journal. "We are the sixth and seventh restaurants the company has opened. District Commons is American-themed, so we have an all-American wine and craft beer list and lots of American spirits, as well."
Love says she most enjoy working with the newer spirits. "There are so many beers and wines coming out now, especially on the American side!" she exclaimed. "I especially like working with Shannon Crisp and FEW Spirits. I really like the FEW Rye Whiskey. I want to make a bourbon punch this summer with it. Bourbon is such a fast-growing part of the industry right now, so I'm really excited to get to work with that. I like using FEW's gin, as well. It's very flavorful and blends really nice in a gin and tonic."
