We have previously noted the problems of Albert Trummer and Apothéke in NYC; Mr. Trummer likes flaming drinks, and that has brought him some unfavorable attention from the local authorities.
Today’s NYT has a longer article about the goings-on at Apothéke. In addition to Mr. Trummer’s troubles with the law (there was another alleged incident involving fire in October, but Mr. Trummer denies the charges), Mr. Trummer and his partners have had a falling-out, complete with charges of physical violence and wrongful imprisonment.
I do so love a good soap opera, and if it takes place in the world of cocktails, that’s even better.
