Critical Bartender information in this podcast!  Fun stories, but all with a message:  you gotta be on-your-game...ALL the time. Also, Vince ran into a young bartender at a NYC hotspot who was a little too "opinionated".  All bartenders can all 'up their game' from hearing this story.  Its about creating the "Disney Experience"; its not about trying to prove that you are smarter than your guests. Vano is totally fired up this week!  Watch out!
