That’s Sauced, a new weekly podcast from Tim McKirdy and Sother Teague. Each week, Tim and Sother unpack a single dish: its history, the techniques that make it sing, and the drinks that belong alongside it. From Beef Bourguignon to Crêpes Suzette, we're exploring the classics — and the booze that gives them their identity. Tim is a drinks writer, editor, and podcaster who's spent years covering cocktails, wine, and spirits. Sother is one of New York's most respected bartenders and the author of I'm Just Here for the Drinks. Together, they bring chef instincts, drinks expertise, and the kind of meaty conversation you'd want to partake in over a great meal. New episodes every Thursday.

Seventy-five years later, Brennan's still flambés 35,000 pounds of bananas a year for it. This week, we dig into the Big Mike-to-Cavendish swap that quietly rewrote what the dish tastes like, the Paul Blangé method of sauce building, and the science of why the vapor burns, not the liquid. Two cocktails: The Commissioner — a Godfather riff with Jamaican rum, crème de banane, and Sother's Driftwood Bitters. And The Big Mike — a hot caramel-cream-foam Irish-coffee-style closer.
