So Alshin, thank you so much for coming on Outlaws.

What is a pub?

What's the difference?

I've flown all the way from New York City to London to ask just one simple question.

Then when I get the answer, I'll be ready to go home.

What is the difference between a pub and a bar?

Well, everywhere has got bars.

We don't have bar chains.

Before we get to your current pub, give us a little bit of your history.

What were you doing prior to opening The Dev?

What year did you open the Devonshire?

Wait, just on the history real quickly, did you say it was more like because of the elimination of indoor smoking that actually created the space for this notion of a gastropub?

Can I ask you a question?

And we're not going to name names here.

What's a bad pub?

You say like, okay, you said, oh, you looked around, you didn't see many good pubs.

What is it, you walk into a pub, it's like, this doesn't have it.

You know, and I think of pubs.

OK, there's the beer and then there's certain dishes that I associate with pub food, the scotch egg, the sausage roll.

And I'm always fascinated by a lot of in any field.
