Pioneering a Farm to Glass Model with Alex Francis, Little Red Door Paris

The latest episode of the podcast is with Alex Francis, the Director of Bars at Little Red Door in Paris. If you've never heard of Little Red Door before, it is not just one of the world's best cocktail bars, it is also one of the world's most sustainable. And both are a testament to Alex's work in shaping Little Red Door's transition to a farm to glass model, which helped land him on the Bar World 100 list for 2023 from Drinks International. You've probably heard of farm to table. In fact, we've talked to Chef Dan Barber on the podcast, who helped shape and popularize that movement. Alex is doing that for the bar world. By engaging in direct trade with producers and making 70 to 80% of the liquid it serves in house, Little Red Door creates a cocktail experience unlike any other. This also allows Little Red Door to produce cocktails that feature produce in a way that you've probably never experienced.
