Bar Famous

Welcome back everyone! It's been a busy couple of weeks here in New Orleans for some of us bartenders! French Quarter Fest, Easter, and Jazz Fest always have a great impact on many of our businesses. Besides that, we have also had a couple of great educational opportunities in the form of Lush Life's Bar Institute Econo Tour and the United States Bartender Guild Southern Region Conference. The latter event gave way to the inspiration for this weeks' podcast. One of the seminars that was presented at the USBG SRC concerned how bartenders could better utilize social media to furter their professional brand. A large portion of that seminar concerned the lack of bar and bartender inspired programming on television and various other forms of media. This lead to Cole and myself wanting to further explore this subject. To help us, we invited one of our friends Mike Jones to add his perspective. Mike is an excellent bartender from Atlanta who was in town for the conference. Anywho, check it out as we talk about why chef driven shows are so popular, what it would take to make a popular bar show, and even a couple of pitches from each of us. And as always, thanks for listening to the show! Let us know what you think and feel free to shoot us any ideas for future episodes! Steve
