Submit ReviewIt’s a family affair as Dawn is joined by her husband, director Andrew Melby, to HILF this awe-inspiring natural wonder of the world. On a recent road-trip to Los Angeles from Minnesota, Dawn and Andrew stopped in the Grand Canyon. The beauty, wonder and mystery of the place inspired Dawn to take a deep dive into the history.
…and who better to go down with?

This was no party...
They were the group who got hopelessly stranded over a particularly harsh winter in the Sierra Nevadas - many of them starve to death and several of those who don’t starve to death, survived by resorting to cannibalism.
Dawn's guest is actor and writer, Andy Kraft. He is a longtime friend and colleague - together they've done everything from romantic comedies on screen, to portraying water droplets on stage. Andy can be seen in countless commercials, episodes of television (including the final episode of Brooklyn nine-nine) and is the hand up the bum of some of your favorite puppets!

When last we met, Dawn and guest Andy Kraft were taking a shot of whiskey to prepare for the dark path ahead. Hear how it all ends up in the dark pages of history and why your high school teachers probably never told you the whole story.

**During the episode, we make and drink 2 cocktails!
Recipes and approximate time-code in the episode when we start making ours is below so you can toast along with us!
COCKTAIL #1 - The View Carre. [00:13:00]
- 3/4 oz Rye whiskey (higher proof, like 100 proof but not more. Rittenhouse makes a good one)
- 3/4 oz Cognac (I like Pierre Ferrand Ambre but Remy Martin VSOP works well too)
- 3/4 oz Strucchi Rosso Vermouth (or Dolin Rouge)
- 2 tsp Benedictine D.O.M. (make sure it's DOM and not B&B)
- 2 dash Peychaud's bitters (white label, red liquid)
- 1 dash Angostura bitters
- In mixing glass add all ingredients and fill the mixing glass with ice so you have more ice than liquid.
- Stir for 20 - 30 seconds.
- Using hawthorn strainer, strain into chilled rocks glass over large cube
- Garnish with lemon peel
COCKTAIL #2 - The Black Manhattan [00:40:00]
- 2 oz Rye whiskey (use your favorite Rye. The Rittenhouse might work well here, but could get hot)
- 1 oz Averna Amaro
- 1 dash Angostura bitters
- 1 dash Orange bitters
- In mixing glass add all ingredients and fill the mixing glass with ice so you have more ice than liquid.
- Stir for 20 - 30 seconds.
- Using hawthorn strainer, strain into chilled coupe glass.
- Garnish with brandied cherry / luxardo cherry (or something similar) - just drop it in or put it on a pick if you're fancy

Hear about the places that managed to avoid the plague, at least for a little while, and what a medieval haz-mat suit looked like. Also, continue to roll the 'Death Dice' along with celebrated music supervisor, Mary Ramos, to see if any of the characters we meet along the way manage to avoid the sickness and death that overcame half of the global population.
