“The beauty of hospitality is subtlety - a quiet kind of knowing what is needed in any given moment and expediting it with grace and skill. Mike Wolf has not only written a book about that, but has extended out beyond a moment and given us the incredible gift of transformation in community through his dedication to the simple but revolutionary idea that hospitality, when done with great heart, can change the world.” -Lisa Donovan, pastry chef, James Beard award-winning writer

"This isn’t the usual bar book. Rather, Barantined is a time capsule of the bar and restaurant industry during the pandemic. It captures the voices of the hospitality industry -- their coping mechanisms, their frustrations, and most importantly, their voices and recipes. It’s a snapshot of survival." –Kara Newman, author, Nightcap and Cocktails with a Twist

"Barantined helped explain what I missed about a stylish bar while I was at home during quarantine…the music, the sense of camaraderie, the kernel of anticipation…and Barantined showed me that they missed me, too." –Margaret Littman, Nashville Scene, author of Moon Nashville to New Orleans Road Trip
