Featured: Founder and Resident Cocktail Geek at Midnight Brunch, Emily Cavalier

8 Aug

FOUNDER AND RESIDENT COCKTAIL GEEK AT MIDNIGHT BRUNCH & MOUTH OF THE BORDER, EMILY CAVALIER (Forkly: @ECava)
Forkly user Emily Cavalier hails from Brooklyn, NY and is the Founder of the Midnight Brunch–a rogue dinner party of sorts, that features two of her favorite things: craft cocktails and exotic foods. She’s also the founder of Mouth of the Border, the stomping ground for lovers of ethnic food, cocktails, and culture in New York City.

Emily connects food lovers and cool businesses to new audiences using food and cocktails as well as art and local culture. She consults on event strategy, production and social media for agencies, startups & food/booze-based businesses. When she’s not writing or eating, you can find Emily harassing locals for recipes and sneaking into bars and restaurant kitchens all over the world.

In her free time, Emily dances, writes, throws things in pans in kitchens and takes pictures. Evidence of all of this can also be found on her personal blog EmilyCavalier.com–and on her Forkly account of course! She speaks French, and wishes she also spoke Spanish. Her business ventures all have her passions at the root–her love of culture, people, spectacular cocktails, and mouth-watering food. Bringing people and businesses together with the power of our palates. Just don’t offer her scrambled eggs with ketchup, ever.

 You’ll have two chances Emily Cavalier this week…
