EDITORIAL THANK YOU

'Sandy' (the hurricane) shut us down for over two weeks.

We live and work at the Jersey Shore.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Don't listen to anyone, we are here and back as usual!

The top 10 Eastern Bars took us a while, and we'd like to thank all who helped the emails (barmag@aol.com), the phone calls, and help from bartenders, owners, salesmen, wholesalers, and customers. There was NO FEE to be in this.

Eastern this issue, next issue Central US. Get your nomination in now at bartender.com.

Again, thanks to all!

NAMES We get a lot of calls about names certain individuals are calling themselves - Guru (either Cocktail or Bar Guru), Mr. Mojito (by the way, there are two or more of these people), Mr. and Mrs. Cocktail (don't you think you should have tended bar??), Liquid Chef, Chef Master Mixologist, Cheftender, Drink Goddess, Liquid Lady, and on and on.

We are offering $500 for the worst name someone gave themself. Just send it to us at barmag@aol.com. The pretentious name and the real name. As far as I'm concerned, there's one Master Mixologist and he got it over thirty years ago, and he named himself Dale (King Cocktail) DeGroff!

Dale, you started it. We would like you to be the JUDGE! So ask your PR person what your pretentious name is. And have fun!

Katie Alexander

Las Vegas Native with over 23 years of experience behind the bar, Katie got her start in the business at a local bar called Bully’s; a small, run down, off the strip drinking hall in an area the locals refer to as “Naked City”. Naked City got its name in the early 50’s when all of the show girls used to sunbathe topless at the small hotel pools right off the Strip. The neighborhood had long since lost its luster and swung towards the seedy and slightly unsavory side. After she landed the job the owner pulled her aside and said “I need a dead ringer to help me clean up my other bar, so don’t put up with any crap, and I will teach you everything you need to know.”

Following this advice, Katie quickly got into the swing of the business and spent a few years at Bully’s in her newly found career. She worked in a few other bars around the city until meeting an incredible man named Kelly, who recognized her enthusiasm, hard work and professionalism that landed her at his bar named Kelly’s Kasino. For the next 13 years it was Katie’s new home. A small bar nestled in the middle of strip clubs and industrial busi-

Katie eventually moved onward and upward and today is proud to be part of the team at Huntridge Tavern. While the initial efforts were focused on another cleanup project, Katie’s reputation and vast experiences were a perfect fit. After less than a year working dayshifts Katie was again recognized for her abilities and appointed swing-shifts and the bar manager position.

Five years later Katie remains an important ingredient at Huntridge Tavern; a bar that people want to work for and customers want to come hang out at.

“We simply have a great mix of customers. Where else can a 22year old sit next to a 90-year old and have a great conversation?

Customers want to come in, be greeted with a smile and be able to leave their problems at the door and just have a good time”, stated Katie.

Katie has been honored by Las Vegas Weekly as one of the Best Bartenders in Vegas and featured in the Las Vegas Tribune.

& After a stop at Bar A on their way home from work, two men found themselves on a roller coaster. One said, "We're making great time, but I'm not sure this is the right bus!"

Q:

What's Irish and stays out all night?

A:

Paddy O'Furniture

Two men wandered into the New York subway by mistake.

One said to the other, "I don't know who lives here, but I like his train set!"

"Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each."

"Hey Junior, do you have any photos of yourself when you were a baby?"

Junior: "No, but I'm going to have some taken."

Two men met at a cocktail party, and as they stood talking, one glanced across the room and remarked, "Get a load of that ugly woman over there with a nose like a pomegranate and what looks to be a fifty-five-ish waistline."

"That's my wife," said the other man.

"Oh, I'm sorry," said the first man.

"YOU'RE sorry?"

sw l ivive swivel el w s

Should my bar stools swivel ?

When choosing the right bar stool for your bar or restaurant, you may be wondering if you should select a swivel bar stool or a standard stool that doesn’t swivel. Here are a few considerations before you buy!

Easy going. The biggest benefit to purchasing a swivel seat is how easy it is to get into and out of. Customers can slide into them without moving the actual stool; with standard stools, there is a lot of pushing in and out that can mark up the floors. Being able to pivot away from the bar and from fellow patrons on either side gives your customer the freedom to move around and find a comfortable sitting position.

This ease of movement is definitely a plus.

More social. If you’re the hot spot where singles go to mingle or where groups of friends meet to hang out, a swivel might be the right stool for you! Swivels promote socialization. Movement allows patrons to scan the room, move from stool to stool effortlessly, and turn to talk to different groups of people. However, if you are trying to create intimate experiences for your guests, then avoid the swivel. Let your customers lean in and talk to their friends more privately on stationary seats.

New heights. It’s true: size matters. Most1 bar3/4/13 stools 10:36 are AM d-BDf-prt-Bartender-Spring2013-halfpgAd-v1.pdf about 30 inches tall at the seat, but a swivel may add an inch

by Emily Fritz

or two to that measurement. If your bar is the standard 42 inches tall, this shouldn’t make a huge difference, but check the dimensions to make sure you’re giving your guests enough legroom to be seated comfortably.

Stylish options. While the biggest selection of swivels will probably be in metal stools, there are plenty of design options available. Whether you get a backless stool, a stool with a tall back, a bucket seat, or even a wooden stool, swivel seating can be fashionable and easy to find.

The replacements. If your customers are used to swiveling in and out of their seats, they’ll prefer that you replace your old stools with new swivels. However, the actual swivel mechanism is a wear item and might need to be replaced periodically. Consider the added costs you could face in the future. As well, swivel stools tend to have higher price tags upfront than their non-swiveling counterparts.

COOKING WITH

COCO

COCONUT CHEESE FLAN white sugar large eggs cream cheese at room temperature can sweetened condensed milk can COCO LOPEZ® REAL CREAM OF COCONUT can coconut milk can evaporated milk coconut-flavored rum vanilla extract Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a heavy skillet over medium-low heat, cook and stir sugar with a wooden spoon until melted and golden, about 10 minutes. Caramel is very hot. Very carefully pour the caramel into a 9-inch round, 3-inch deep baking dish. Swirl dish to cover bottom and sides.

The caramel will harden as it cools. Combine the eggs, cream cheese, and sweetened condensed milk in a blender. Cover, and blend on high until well combined; transfer to a large bowl. Pour COCO LOPEZ® REAL CREAM OF COCONUT, coconut milk, evaporated milk, coconut-flavored rum, and vanilla extract into the blender; cover and blend on high until well combined. Pour into the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Whisk until incorporated. Pour the flan mixture into the caramel-coated baking dish. Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place the filled baking dish on the towel, and place roasting pan in the preheated oven. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the flan is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Transfer to a wire rack; cool. Refrigerate flan until ready to serve. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pan and flip the flan out onto a serving platter. Spoon any caramel remaining in the baking dish over the flan.

Drinking with Men A Memoir •

•

By Rosie Schaap Riverhead Books rosieschaap.com/books $16.95

I first read about Rosie in an article by Scott Korb that he wrote for ' The Los Angeles Review of Books.' Thanks, Scott! - Ray Foley Rosie Schaap's love of bars began well before she started talking about them on THIS AMERICAN LIFE and in The New York Times Magazine's "Drink" column: starting with her misspent youth in the bar car of a regional railroad, where at fifteen she told commuters' fortunes in exchange for beer, and continuing today as she slings cocktails at a neighborhood joint in Brooklyn, she has learned her way around both sides of a bar and come to realize how powerful the fellowship among bar patrons can be.

Now in a poignant and deeply funny memoir told from a distinctively female perspective, Rosie celebrates the camaraderie and community one can only find at her local haunt. DRINKING WITH MEN chronicles her unending quest for the perfect local watering hole, a journey that takes her from a dive outside LA to a Dublin pub full of poets; from small-town New England taverns to a character-filled bar in Tribeca. Drinking alongside artists and expats, ironworkers and soccer fanatics, she finds these places offer a safe haven, a respite, and a place to feel most like herself.

BEERADELPHIA THE CITY OF BREWERY LOVE (DVD)

Philly Philms phillyphilms.com AND shop.phillyphilms.com $20.00 This is the true story of beer, told with a Philly accent. From the earliest known evidence of beer drinking in ancient Egypt through the settling and building of America to the impact that women and homebrewing have had on the craft beer movement and ending with the epic-ness that is known as Philly Beer Week, BEERADELPHIA takes you on a beer-inspired journey through beer history!

Filmed over the course of two years, BEERADELPHIA includes interviews with some of the beer world's most colorful figures including Sam Adam's Jim Koch, Yuengling's Dick Yuengling, and Brewer's Association President Charlie Papazian. The Philly beer pioneers who appear are so large in number it would be foolish to list them. But all the usual suspects are here... talking beer!

The affordable way to start or expand a highly profitable foodservice operation • Healthier and crispier—Hot-air fried menu items look and taste like they were deep-fat fried with 20% to 40% less fat!

• No grease, no vented hood system—Cooks with hot air, radiant heat, and an elevated perforated cooking basket!

• A complete kitchen with just a Quik n’ Crispy, freezer and sink—Or use it to supplement your existing kitchen!

BARTENDER MAGAZINE

The West End Pub bought its first Quik n’ Crispy almost 10 years ago and it changed how we did business! Unable to install a vent-a-hood due to being in a historic building, we were able to go from a soup and sandwich menu to offering real Pub food.

The purchase of the second unit and some new food offerings allowed us to serve a high quality burger, fries and real “boneless” wings. We are looking to purchase a third unit soon and to begin offering pizza and additional menu items. You have no idea what the Quik n’ Crispy can do for your business until you give it a try.
