Bartender Shuffles: MacGregor in at Jasper’s, Baker in at Burritt, and More

MacGregor
MacGregor

A little bar news out this week: Bar star Brian MacGregor, who’s been popping up behind the bars at Burritt Room and Zero Zero of late, will be working with pal Kevin Diedrich at the new Jasper’s Corner Tap and Kitchen (401 Taylor Street), set to open in the former Ponzu space in a couple of weeks.

Meanwhile, following Diedrich’s departure as bar manager at Burritt, it was announced this week that Bourbon & Branch alum Joel Baker will be his replacement. And since Diedrich took a few staffers with him, Baker’s got a bit of work to do. [SFoodie]

And we get word from Joel Teitelbaum that, following his departure from Zero Zero, he’ll be picking up some shifts at 83 Proof whilst courting other offers. [Grub Street]

Also of note, Virginia Miller at the Guardian penned a cocktail travelogue of bars around London, and it’s a good, if envy-inducing read. [SFBG]
