Best of Philly

2015 Bartender

Jesse Cornell at Vesper

Jesse is quick behind the oak. He can execute the classics with aplomb (and without excessive tinkering). And if you put him on the spot, he’s got the rare talent to whip up something off the top of his head that’s so good, it deserves its own award.
