Context, education, quality and the bartender can make a difference when it comes to appreciating new things, and I had all the elements to make the equation work. Here’s my Hawksworth Spirited Dinner featuring a southern menu paired with whiskey cocktails.

That’s a bold statement and to base your entire brand on one thing leads everyone to have high expectations. “The Best” anything in the world is a courageous claim, and it’s one I had to check out for myself. So was it really “The Best Chocolate Cake in the World”?
It’s critically acclaimed as one of the finest and best Indian restaurants in the world. I think it’s worth it if you include all the generous appetizers, great food, ambiance and service, but whether it’s worth the 2 hour wait is the real question.
