Daily News | Toby Maloney is Philly’s James Beard Award-winning bartender — times 2
The Bartender’s Manifesto: How to Think, Drink, and Create Cocktails Like a ProThe win is Maloney’s second Beard Award. In 2015, he won for outstanding bar program at the Violet Hour cocktail bar in Chicago, which he cofounded.With his win for the book, “it feels like a big piece of the puzzle got put into place,” said Maloney, 54, bartender in residence at Hop Sing Laundromat at 1029 Race St. in Philadelphia’s Chinatown. “It’s come full-circle.
At Hop Sing, Maloney works most Fridays and Saturdays, serving a maximum of 24 patrons a night — all vetted by the owner, who is known only as Lê. Maloney can work from his menu but prefers to query customers on their preferences and create original drinks. This is all in the name of research.
“I’m lucky to be here in this magical time of food and drink,” he said. “It’s cool to be part of it and I didn’t know that I could eat as much hummus per month as I am right now, It seems to be at so many different places and it’s really amazing.”“You know, there’s not much difference, I mean, they’re all adventurous and thoughtful and they run the gamut from fun and whimsical to really seriously hard-core. I feel it’s a sophisticated and thoughtful drinking population.”He said he was 9 or 10.
“The first time I remember having a bad drink, I was probably right around that age. My dad drank rum and Cokes. I was at a party and my uncle was pouring drinks for people and I ordered a rum and Coke. Without tasting it, I said, ‘Put some more rum in it,’ and he put more rum in it because I didn’t think he’d put any rum in. I was 9 years old! Well, he had put rum in it, and the second amount of rum that he put in it made it undrinkable.
