The Austin American-Statesman's booze correspondent Emma Janzen liked last weekend's San Antonio Cocktail Conference, but wonders: why celebrate cocktails in a city that isn't known for cocktail culture? She writes, "It’s like hosting a culinary conference in a city where chain restaurants dominate the dining landscape." Instead, Janzen proposes a round-robin system and a "Texas Cocktail Week," wherein different cities would host cocktail events showcasing their geographic specialties. [Austin360]
