Top 3 drinks you recommend to customers at Skallywag? Shot of Jameson, Shot of Jameson, followed by a shot of Jameson. 

Top 3 dishes you recommend to customers at Skallywag? The brisket burger is my favorite, and the dry rub wings are the best in town. The yellowfin tacos are really great also. Order them seared, it is the best way to have them. 

Do you have a signature drink?  Shot of Jameson, always. As far as a mixed shot goes? A Gatorade, I guess... But seriously, if you ask me to make you something, it will be a shot of Jameson.
