on work travel in oakland this week and stopped in belcampo for dinner. we sat at the bar waiting for a table and i ordered a pour of elmer t. lee. it's one of my favorites but tough to find anywhere on the east coast.
so i started geeking out over whiskey with the bartender for a solid 10-15 minutes (bar wasnt that busy)....and without warning or saying anything at all, he pulls a bottle of thomas handy sazerac and gives me a free pour! never had that happen with an allocated / "holy grail" whiskey... anyway...i highly recommend belcampo if you're in oakland! ask for pete behind the bar.
