On this week’s episode of The Sauce, we’re joined by Tim Wiggins — the bartender and restaurateur behind Yellowbelly, Lazy Tiger, and the soon-to-open Extra Wavy.
Tim traces his path from Small Batch and Bailey’s Range to building cocktail programs that pair bold, tropical flavors with balance and precision.
In this episode:
- What to expect at Extra Wavy (seafood-forward, raw bar vibes in a 150-year-old space)
- How Tim collaborates with chefs and builds menus that feel approachable
- Why clear menu descriptions and fair pricing matter
- His “juicy yet dry” cocktail style (hello, Amontillado sherry)
- How salt, texture, and nostalgia play into his drink design
More highlights:
- Where to sip his consulting work (Bangers Only) around STL — Three Sixty Westport, Westport Social, Train Shed at St. Louis Union Station
- A sneak peek at Prohibition, a classics-leaning speakeasy in the same building as Extra Wavy
- What he’s drinking now: unapologetic negronis + perfectly fresh daiquiris
