Airport Bartending
Listen now
Description
Strange things happen when people enter airports. Manners fly out the window, along with all concept of time and space, and anything seemingly goes on the drinking front. But what about the fine folks serving up endless Bloody Marys and Martinis? What's it like running a high-end bar program in a space that all other areas of the industry seem to forget — from distributors and brand reps to award-giving organizations? Taking us behind the curtain today and into the intriguing world of airport bartending is New York's Steven Ferreira. For seven formative years, Steven worked at and ran a fast-paced bar at JFK, breaking the mold by squeezing fresh citrus and making proprietary syrups. Also along for the ride on this very special episode is returning guest, discerning drinker, and seasoned traveler Kelvin Uffre, who previously joined us for a memorable discussion on the Cuba Libre. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
