[ruby_title][dropcap type=”background”]3[/dropcap] Hong Kong: Tom Egerton, Potato Head[/ruby_title]
Brought up in and around restaurants and bars, Tom has spent the better part of a decade working the world to develop an international perspective on the hospitality industry. Most recently, Tom was bar manager of Sydney’s award-winning Eau de Vie, where he developed concept cocktails and drove a culture of team collaboration to create original drinks and a diverse range of spirits education packages. Prior to this, Tom’s resume included stints in bars, hotels and kitchens in North America, Ireland, Dubai, New Zealand and Australia. After years of formal tie-and-waistcoat speakeasy-style bartending, Tom has hung up his arm garters and traded them for something a little more tropical at Potato Head Hong Kong.
