And the Rammy Goes To...
Well, that was fun ... and exhausting ... and exhilarating ... and just, you know, everything. Another RAMMY Awards on the books. I have so much love, respect, and admiration for this community, and I am so grateful that I get to be a part of the celebration. This year's awards were extra special. First, I surprised New Restaurant of the Year winner Chef James Branch of Ellie Bird with a $25k digital partnership with Clear Channel AND, I was able to give the Best Cocktail Program of the Year Award to Silver Lyan in the Riggs Hotel (and Sam Nellis!
