Actually, some of the higher end bars around here DO do that, or similar.

I know of a few places that now buy their ice in huge blocks, and saw it to shape. It’s sawn to different shapes and granularities for different drinks: whiskey on the rocks is served over a single large cube; shaken drinks are done with four smaller cubes; ice is cracked for some drinks, and crushed for others — to order, at the time that the drink is made.

It makes a difference. And, yes, it is considered very important to attempt to get the cubes truly cubical.

He’s melting the ice with his fingers. A professional ice cuber would never do that.

I do believe that king of hats depends on who is wearing it. Be what it may for the rest of the world, the fedora goes best on my Croatian ice cuber. And I don’t wear hats, as I like to dye my hair unnatural colors, and it doesn’t get along with hats.

So I’m supposing this is “working for various companies while wearing round hats week”? Then again, there was no hat involved in the Wallingdale’s escapade.

If he only carves the ice, he could do the Jesus faces on them to make people think god is telling them something. Or use a couple of hairs to put his face on there. The hair is for his eyebrows.
