Moe’s Original BBQ’s Boozy Bushwacker Liquors Up Its Guests

It doesn’t matter if it is the dead of winter, the Bushwacker, the well known frozen beverage of the Gulf Coast area, can be found as the signature drink at most Moe’s Original BBQ locations across the country. Southern Living Magazine named Moe’s Original BBQ’s Bushwacker as one of the best in the South and calls it “thirst-quenching” while Thrillist said, “It will lay you on your back”. The rib joint’s recipe features rum, coffee liqueur, vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. This frozen adult beverage is just one of the house made specialty spirits available at Moe’s award-winning BBQ restaurants plus at some locations, alcoholic drinks are currently available to go and enjoy safely at home. 

“From college towns to beach and mountain areas, Moe’s Original BBQ is famous for serving Bushwackers,” said Moe’s Founding Partner Jeff Kennedy. “While the Bushwacker may be a Gulf Coast classic, our Bushwacker ties tradition and memories to it when you enjoy it with a slab of ribs, as a game day ritual or a vacation must have. A Moe’s Original BBQ Bushwacker always brings people together for a good time.” 

Serving Alabama-style BBQ since 1988, Moe’s Original BBQ has been named in the Top 10 BBQ Chains in America by USA Today and The Daily Meal, one of the fastest growing, emerging restaurant chains by Restaurant Business Magazine, and one of the Top 10 Rib Joints in the U.S. by Relish. Served with red BBQ and Alabama white sauces, the award-winning smoked menu features pulled pork, ribs, wings, turkey and chicken as well as fish and shrimp selections.

Red Phone Booth and Amalfi Pizza in Atlanta Install State-of-the-Art Air Purification & Latest Disinfection Technology Prior to Reopening June 1st

Red-Phone-Booth-Speakeasy-Lounge-Atlanta-14.jpgAtlanta, Georgia, May 12, 2020 – Downtown speakeasy Red Phone Booth and Neapolitan pizzeria Amalfi Pizza will reopen for in house dining and cocktails on Monday, June 1st after acquiring the latest in air purification technology and sanitizing solutions. Global Plasma Solutions installed Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization (NBPI) technology that purifies air by eliminating airborne particulates, odors and pathogens by attacking and killing viruses, mold spores and bacteria. This revolutionary air filtration technology is currently used in many hospitals like Boston Children’s Hospital, the Mayo Clinic and Houston Memorial Hospital Baylor UMC as well as The White House and major universities such as Clemson and Harvard. Red Phone Booth and Amalfi Pizza’s new cleaning protocols also include frequent disinfecting measures applied throughout the facility from floor to ceiling using Clean Well’s healthcare grade disinfectant MonoFoil D that kills 99.9% of bacteria on surfaces. This EPA approved solution bonds to most surfaces providing an active germ barrier for 30-60 days. Other safety measures will include staff uniformed with masks and gloves, reservations, staggered arrival times, half capacity, and social distancing seating as well as frequent sanitization procedures.

“Safety for our guests is of the utmost importance at Red Phone Booth and Amalfi Pizza,” said co-founder Stephen de Haan. “We were already utilizing the latest technology in air purification at Red Phone Booth since we offer an extensive cigar program. With the installation of the Bipolar Ionization generators and MonoFoil D, both facilities will set the gold standard in guest safety and comfort.”

Global Plasma Solutions’ Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization uses advanced technology as the ions steal away hydrogen from the pathogens, leaving them to die, and providing clean and healthy indoor air. The technology also reduces airborne particles including dust and pollen through agglomeration. The ions attach to the airborne particles and are then subsequently attracted to one another, effectively increasing their mass and size. The air filtration technology easily captures the larger particles, increasing the capture efficiency of the Air Purifiers and HVAC system. CleanWell is the exclusive supplier in the Southeast of a nano-technology based cleaner called Monofoil D. The potent product cleans and disinfects surfaces with an antimicrobial shield leaving surfaces cleaner longer. CleanWell’s professional team is trained in the specific application needed to create the long lasting effects. 

At the Red Phone Booth and Amalfi Pizza, it is part of the credo to exceed all guest expectations. Red Phone Booth is a prohibition experience featuring classic turn of the century craft cocktail selections and an extensive cigar program while Amalfi Pizza is an award winning restaurant featuring classic Neapolitan pizzas, fresh pasta, and an extensive Italian wine list.  From the comfort of the seating, training and knowledge of the staff to the quality of the air, it is all of these things and more that allow for Red Phone Booth and Amalfi Pizza to deliver an unparalleled experience for its guests.
