I modeled that concept from the acclaimed Tommy’s Tequila Bar in San Francisco, and the owner Julio helped introduce me to several great tequila producers. Next up was Salud Tequila Lounge (Chicago) which exclusively used 100% agave tequila in all the cocktails long before agave was a household name. The concept was so popular that I opened a Cans in Milwaukee and one in Charlotte.
Outside of Bird’s Nest and Big Wig was Cans Bar and Canteen in 2001 which served canned beer and had a retro 80’s type theme. Not to overstate, but I feel like I have always been on the forefront of emerging trends. I consider myself a service industry junkie, with a deep understanding of hospitality, customers and their needs. Since then I went on to open 14 other unique and successful venues. I acted as a bartender, the cook and the cleaning crew (although often my friends would often help in return for a few beers). When I started in the bar business, I literally lived in the back of Bird’s Nest, sleeping on the couch and showering at a nearby health club. Ironically, I also owned a bar named Big Wig that most people thought was because of my huge curly hair but it was because it was originally an old hair salon. The name Bird’s Nest originated because my nickname is Bird, but most people thought it was because of our amazing chicken wings. I opened my first bar, Bird’s Nest, in Chicago in 1995 at the age of 23. Hi, I’m Matt and I have been in the food and beverage industry since age 16, serving yogurt and salads in the suburbs of Chicago at Love’s Yogurt. Try one and you will see why, when discerning drinkers want a real craft cocktail, they open a Crafthouse Cocktail. Today Crafthouse Cocktails are enjoyed wherever authentic, flat-out delicious craft cocktails are desired: around the BBQ, at home, at a tailgate or concert venue even on Virgin Voyage cruise lines, AMTRAK trains and in national hotel chains. In the end, they succeeded in producing what has become the Crafthouse Cocktails lineup: a meticulously crafted collection of balanced cocktails, rivaling those of even the most respected craft cocktail bars. They maintained their uncompromised requirement of crafting classic cocktails their way - a single batch at a time, attending to every detail, no matter how small. They created classic cocktails using their favorite variety of ingredients and spirits from some of the best distilleries, just as Joly would do for his attendees at famed events across the world. Hard work and research exposed the truth that it was possible to bottle the very same from- scratch cocktails that Joly was accustomed to creating at the bar, using identical all-natural ingredients and high-quality small-batch craft spirits. Trailblazing Chicago bar owner and restauranteur Matt Lindner, and Global Bartending Champion Charles Joly, saw a need from their guests and came up with a solution using their expertise. If recropping is enabled, then the original image you're cropping will be replaced with the cropped one.A real cocktail in a bottle (one without a malt base, neon coloring, excess sugar and artificial flavoring) did not exist in 2013. The recrop option allows you to fine-tune your cropping process. The circle cropping mode is especially useful for creating round profile pictures or avatars for Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram. To switch between circle and ellipse, just adjust the eccentricity (radius) of the crop area using the resizers. You can switch between the rectangular and circular shape modes in the options. The crop fragment can be a rectangle, a square, a circle, or an ellipse. If the crop area size is unspecified, it will use PNG graphic file's width and height. If the starting crop position is not provided, it will be automatically set to the top left corner. The way this editor works is pretty straightforward – you can select the cropping area by dragging the resizers that you see on your input PNG or fine-tune your selection by specifying precise cropping dimensions in the options. This browser-based utility crops an area from a PNG picture.
