And I think you're completely off base comparing DtB to Beethoven or Picasso. I just find that ridiculous.

Try paying attention to what someone says before YOU make ridiculous comments. Swanky was NOT comparing DtB to Beethoven or Picasso. Read that comment again. They were all masters in their respective fields. Mixology. Music. Art. Apples. Oranges. Bananas.

I paid attention :) I understand you have to jump on the bandwagon to attack the low post count guy who isn't worshiping DtB, but I still completely disagree. Don made some great drinks. But to compare his skill as a "mixologist" to a virtuoso like Beethoven's skill in composing music is just laughable. And how would you compare his skill as a Chinese food chef? Was he the Shakespeare of beef skewers? The Motzart of pupu platters?

Don't get me wrong. I have a lot of DtBs books (I laughed when his "little book" was four inches tall!) and I appreciate his drinks. I just wouldn't call him a master of his field to the same extreme as classical composers. Also, remember this whole discussion is because someone is upset that people simplified a zombie drink. Haha! Excuse us if we can make a tastier drink in half the time!
