Didn't take long to decide on the price.
Team Innuendo will have a field day with Home Plate BBQ stocking a rum made under the name of porn star Ron Jeremy. Then again, why bother when the label declares this is “the adult rum” with a “long smooth taste” and, after noting the Spanish word for rum is ron, states, “Rons come a plenty but only one is larger than life.” Always nice when someone else carries the load.
Anyway, I went to Home Plate with Frank Siegel, who opened Frank’s Place — then near Workers Stadium — way back in 1990. That arguably makes him the Ron Jeremy of the Beijing bar scene. In terms of being a legend, I mean. I have no idea if he can act.
Home Plate’s Seth Grossman seemed quite happy to show us his new product. I guess that’s no surprise, given he’s also a bit of a “Seth” machine.
(Actually, I just made that price up. Grossman only has one bottle and it is part of his private collection. Ask at the bar if you’re interested in trying it.)
Just waiting for the groove music to start....
