“SIXTEEN YEARS AGO, I STARTED OFF AS A BUSSER AND WORKED MY WAY UP,” says Edmundo Lopez Avila III. “Early on in my career, I wanted to be the best—entering a lot of competitions, winning most. That’s turned into ‘Let’s make this drink better together.’” His secret? Avila starts with a humble ingredient and showcases it using other fresh ingredients. Before the drink goes on the menu, he says, many different palettes need to approve it. “Once we all have agreed the drink is delicious and balanced, we know we have something special.” The Fishery 5040 Cass Street, San Diego, CA 92109 thefishery.com | 858-272-9985 BAR MANAGER, THE FISHERY EDMUNDO LOPEZ AVILA III
