WHERE WERE YOU BORN? WHOVILLE
WHERE DO YOU LIVE NOW? BROOKLYN, NY
FULL-TIME OCCUPATION? CRAFT BARTENDER
The Grinch. So is that your full name, like Madonna?
Actually it’s Grincheux. It’s French. No one here can pronounce French names,
so I made it simple. People are simple.
Okay. How do you stay warm during the holiday season?
A single barrel Old Fashioned and a nice Maduro.
What current holiday trend are you happy to see?
That I’m not the only one trying to steal the Christmas spirit. I’m looking at you, Starbucks.
What trend are you happy to see go in the new year?
The man bun. I wore my ears like that for years; it’s played out.
I hear you have a dog named Max that goes everywhere with you.
Tell us about him.
I’m done with the third degree.
