This episode of The Buildout is brought to you by Farmer’s Gin. As a bartender, I’m always looking for spirits I’d feel confident pouring and recommending to guests, and Farmer’s Gin is one of them. It delivers exceptional quality at a price that makes it a true workhorse behind the bar or even your home bar. It’s made in Idaho using regenerative, organic certified grain, and grown on a family farm. That approach supports healthier soil, biodiversity, and ultimately better ingredients – which you can taste in the glass. The result is a clean, versatile gin that’s perfect for classics like Martinis and Gimlets, and it’s a bottle you can feel good about supporting.

When Cody Pruitt opened Libertine, the acclaim was immediate. The restaurant became one of the hardest reservations in New York, with the fan-favorite saucisse-purée quickly taking on a life of its own.
But three years later, the initial fervor had faded, and filling the dining room every night was no longer as easy as it once had been. Pruitt made the difficult decision to close Libertine and transform the space into a new concept: Capitaine. Drawing on both the successes and shortcomings of Libertine, he set out to create a restaurant that would be easier for regulars to return to again and again.
On this episode of “The Buildout,” Pruitt joins Adam to discuss what he learned from Libertine and how he arrived at the tough decision to start over.
