Christine Sismondo is the author of <a href="https://amzn.to/3K3vFKW">America Walks Into A Bar: A Spirited History of Taverns, Speakeasies and Grog Shops</a></p> <p>I discovered Christine's book while reading <a href= "https://amzn.to/3Mic4Z3">Pouring With Heart by Cedd Moses</a></p> <p>In this book, Christine points out the significant role the hospitality industry played in forming society as we know it today. I believe our industry still holds this transformative power and that's what I hope to explore in this conversation.</p> <p>Today’s feature affiliate: Bentobox. In need of a restaurant website?
