Nathan Dalton is the Food and Beverage Director for the Catahoula Hotel in New Orleans, which is a Peruvian cafe and bar. Nathan has always nurtured a passion for Latin American cocktails, in particular those from Peru, and travels for research as much possible. Previously, he was the bar director for the Felipe’s Taqueria operation where he pushed the limit of the bar program beyond Mexico to incorporate all of Latin America. He also opened Tiki Tolteca, the first tiki bar in New Orleans since the 1980s, which had more than a little Latin American influence and was awarded Wine Enthusiasts People’s Choice for Best New Bar in America for the years 2012-2014. Nathan’s accolades include Beverage Media’s Top Ten Mixologists to Watch in 2013 and Eater’s 2013 New Orleans Bartender of the Year.
