Shawn Lickliter is a co-owner and bar mind behind Vandell, a Los Feliz cocktail bar that Max believes is at the top of the LA game. Jordan and Max first talk a recent visit together, what food they paired with all the beverage, and needing therapy based on what room they like to sit in when drinking. Then, the fellas are joined by Shawn to talk how Vandell came to be, the secrets behind batching and pricing, and one of the only bananas Jordan loves.
